Sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria, is a valuable North Pacific Ocean species caught in several commercial fisheries and is often discarded due to size or catch limits. Managers must account for the mortality of discarded fish to assess fish populations and harvest impacts, yet discard mortality rates of specific fisheries are generally...
The development of assays for stress in marine fishes is vital for studying the impacts of bycatch in fisheries and for determining the health of fish being cultured or used in research. This research developed behavioral and physiological assays for stress in juvenile sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria, a species that comprises...
During an oceanographic cruise of the "E. W. Scripps" in May, 1939, off the coast of Oregon, four small, post-larval specimens of Anoplopoma fimitrita were taken at the surface of the sea with a dip net at two of the hydrographic stations off Cascade Head, Oregon.
The sablefish has made a modest contribution to Oregon's commercial foodfish landings since the early part of this century, usually incidental to the halibut longline fishery. Trawl caught sablefish now dominate landings, but in recent years a pot fishery has developed off Astoria and Newport.
This thesis evaluates the current break-and-burn ageing method for the southern stock (U.S. west coast) of sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria). Differences in growth rates between the northern (north of Vancouver Island, BC) and southern stocks (south of Vancouver Island, BC) and results from a radiometric study conducted on fish from the...
This issue of the PMFC bulletin centers on sablefish along the Pacific Coast, describing the fisheries of California, Oregon, and Washington. It also has the results of a racial study of Pacific Coast sablefish, and has the results of sablefish tagging experiments in California, Oregon, and Washington.
The disposal of radioactive waste products is a serious problem facing scientists and the public. One solution proposed is to dump these waste products at sea, with the area of northern Oregon and southern Washington in 100 to 1,000 fathoms as one area of consideration. However, one of the problems...
