Summary report on releases of laboratory produced clams

In 1968 the Oregon Fish Commission (now Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife) initiated P.L. 88-309 funded studies to develop techniques to spawn and rear several species of bay clams. After our successful spawning and rearing studies, we planted the laboratory-produced juvenile clams on various tideflats of several estuaries to evaluate their growth and survival (Figures A-Fin Appendix). This report summarizes the results of cur field work on Yaquina, Netarts, Tillamook, Alsea, Coos and Coquille estuaries

Evaluation of the 1977 bay clam regulations

In 1976, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission approved regulation changes for the sport harvest of bay clams. The changes were made at the request of the shellfish staff; our concern was the gradual deterioration in the status of the stocks as reflected in annual census work on several key tideflats in Tillamook, Netarts, Yaquina and Siuslaw bays. Public comments during the census taking also suggested.support for regulation change. Regulation changes approved for the 1977 season included: (1) a reduction of the hardshell bay clam limit from 36 to 20 clams per person; (2) sorting of unbroken hardshell clams was allowed; and (3) an additional bag limit of 36 soft­shell or other incidental clams was allowed (before 1977, these had to be included in the overall bay clam 36-bag limit). In 1977 Oregon State Police from Tillamook County questioned the effectiveness of our regulation changes. One officer in particular was unhappy with the sorting provision in the new regulations. He outlined four examples of where he thought the law was being abused; (1) Broken clams were not being kept. (2) Clams sorted out by diggers were being picked up by younger family members and there fore they were not digging their own. (3) Seagulls were eating the sorted clams before they were able to reburrow into the substrate. (4) Sorted clams were put in piles and many did not reburrow back into the substrate This, report summarizes the results of our clam census surveys and addresses the effects of our regulation changes. Due to the volume of data collected during the 1978 season, only data collected from Garibaldi Flat of Tillamook Bay is presented

1971 Nehalem River Estuary Resource Use Study

In 1971 the Fish Commission of Oregon conducted a comprehensive study of the recreational use of marine food fish, shellfish, and other miscellaneous invertebrates in 16 Oregon estuaries. From March 1 through October 31, 1971, boat and shore anglers and tideflat users were interviewed for catch, effort, and origin data in a program designed for statistical analysis. This report summarizes the results of the Nehalem River Estuary study

1971 Coquille River Estuary Resource Use Study

In 1971 the Fish Commission of Oregon conducted a comprehensive study of the recreational use of marine food fish, shellfish, and other miscellaneous invertebrates in 16 Oregon estuaries. From March 1 through October 31, 1971, boat and shore anglers and tideflat users were interviewed for catch, effort, and origin data in a program designed for statistical analysis. This report summarizes the results of the Coquille River Estuary study

1971 Columbia River Estuary Resource Use Study

In 1971 the Fish Commission of Oregon conducted a comprehensive study of the recreational use of marine food fish, shellfish, and other miscellaneous invertebrates in 16 Oregon estuaries.

This report summarizes the results of the Columbia River Estuary study

1971 Coos Bay Resource Use Study
