Description

Abstract: The Ocean Salmon Management Project (OSMP) of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) monitors the ocean commercial troll salmon and the ocean recreational boat fisheries. The data collected and estimates generated by OSMP are used to assist in the development of management strategies to effectively manage Oregon's fisheries resources, and to evaluate proposed ocean salmon fishery regulations. This report summarizes the activities during the 1999 salmon fishery (April through November) of both sections of OSMP: The Commercial Troll Salmon Project (CTSP) and the Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS). Primary activities within CTSP include: Recovery of coded wire tags (CWT), estimation of average weight of salmon by species and grade, monitoring of quota fishery landings, and estimating catch and effort by area and time. The key functions of ORBS include: Recovery of CWTs; estimating catch by species, port, area, boat type, and time; estimating numbers of fish released for key species; at sea observations of the recreational selective coho fishery; and collection of biological data from several species. The OSMP is permanently staffed by a project leader and an assistant project leader at Newport, and two sampling coordinators; one each at Tillamook and Charleston (currently a seasonal position). The sampling coordinators serve as liaison between seasonal field samplers, fishery participants, and program staff at Newport; deliver data and CWTs to Newport; and also provide additional sampling when needed. The Oregon Coast has twelve substantial ocean ports or access points to the ocean salmon fishery. In 1999, we sampled the commercial troll fishery at six of the primary Oregon coastal ports, and we sampled the recreational ocean boat fishery at all twelve primary ports. To sample the 1999 fisheries, we utilized twenty-five seasonal samplers: three were commercial troll samplers, thirteen were recreational samplers, and nine were "combination" commercial-recreational samplers. We also had one employee who worked approximately 30% of the time sampling the recreational fishery and 70% of the time processing data (Appendix Table 1 ).
