This investigation is focused on smallmouth bass in the Umpqua River system. This investigation contains methods of fish sampling used and, later, describes which methods were more effective for specific tasks. It includes population size, density/structure, mortality rates, and age/growth data regarding the smallmouth bass. See also: Umpqua River smallmouth...
During the summer of 1972 we sampled the Umpqua River estuary to determine distribution of fish populations. As a part of that study temperature and salinity data were collected monthly throughout the estuary. The environmental data should help explain the distributions of various fishes within the estuary and be useful...
"A study of smallmouth bass in the Umpqua River System was initiated in 1987 and continued in 1988. Results of that work were reported in a progress report. The study was continued in 1990 after a one-year lapse. This report summarizes results of the work conducted in 1990. Objectives of...
Aerial photography taken of waste plumes from Kraft pulp mill ocean outfalls was shown to be an effective tool in the study of waste disposal sites. This technique is not limited by sea conditions and permits monitoring and evaluation of outfall sites throughout the year. Photography taken at one instant...
This report describes the activities of the Coastal Rivers Section, including spawning ground surveys, inventory and obstruction surveys, shad and striped bass landing data, lake rearing studies, the physical and chemical characteristics of south coastal streams and various salmonid rearing and ecological studies.
"Activities included spawning ground and physical stream surveys, sampling of shad and striped bass commercial fisheries, population estimates of juvenile coho in selected streams, evaluating releases of adult and fry coho, studying coho in a lake environment, and investigations on the ecology of fall chinook in south coastal streams." (p.1)
"This information report provides an updated summary of all coastal shad tagging studies conducted by the Fish Commission. I believe these studies represent the only shad tagged in Oregon coastal streams south of the Columbia River. No new field work is reported. My intent is to tabulate, consolidate, update, and...
"Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) were tagged on the Umpqua and Smith rivers (Figure 1) to estimate the numbers of bass recruited to the commercial fishery and to gather information on migration habits of bass in these rivers. Small numbers of striped bass were tagged in the summers of 1971 and...
Trapping migrating steelhead trout smolts was done in the spring and early summer of 1993 as part of the 1990 Umpqua National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. Calf Creek was monitored to "validate smolt output estimates" and to "determine if changes in habitat quality are occurring." (Introduction)
