Description

Abstract: Human activities in estuaries have increased in recent years and will probably continue to expand in the future. Many of these activities will occur along shorelines or in shallow waters. Shallow areas are often necessary for many important species as nursery grounds, feeding areas, or resting areas. Misuse of estuaries has reduced productivity for fish and shellfish and diversity for human use. The potential for further losses has prompted the formation of local, regional, or state groups to plan for proper management of the irreplaceable estuarine resources. These groups need inventories of the basic biological and physical parameters in each estuary to make sound land-use decisions. This is a study of the species composition, spatial and temporal distribution, and relative abundance of the fish in Tillamook Bay, Oregon. Other information includes distribution and abundance of shellfish, and distribution of birds, harbor seals, ghost shrimp, and eel grass. Food habits of several fish species are also examined.
