Description

Abstract: The Pacific Marine Fisheries Commission was created in 1947 when the States of Washington, Oregon, and California entered into a compact with the consent of the 80th Congress of the United States. THE CALIFORNIA SALMON TROLL FISHERY, THE OCEAN SALMON TROLL FISHERY OF OREGON, RESEARCH REPORT ON THE WASHINGTON STATE OFFSHORE TROLL FISHERY, and OBSERVATIONS ON TROLL-CAUGHT SALMON OF THE WEST COAST OF VANCOUVER ISLAND, 1949.

Purpose: for the regulation of the ocean troll fishery which operates chiefly on king (chinook) and silver (coho) salmon : 1. No king salmon less than 26 inches, measured from the tip of the snout to the tip of the tail, should be taken by trollers. No king salmon less than 26 inches taken incidentally by other gear should be permitted to be sold. 2. The king salmon fishing season should be from March 15 to October 31. Any state could set a shorter season within that period. 3. The silver salmon season should be from June 15 to October 31. Any state could set a shorter season within that period. 4. It was deemed by the Commission that California's alternate proposal for troll silver salmon regulations consisting of a 25 inch minimum size limit (tip to tip) and a fishing season from May 1 to September 30 would be an acceptable substitute for the recommended regulation of a June 15 to October 31 fishing season.
