Description

Abstract: In recent years change in Oregon's commercial fisheries and seafood industries has been rapid, with increasing uncertainty for nearly all participants and communities involved. Since the last fisheries review with users four years ago, the groundfish fishery was challenged with reduced harvest opportunities and new more conservative national standards under the revised Magnuson Stevens Sustainable Fisheries Act. Government and users are now challenged to work together to improve data, stock assessments, and confidence in decision making as we move into the next millennium. New resource opportunities are appearing on the horizon, but have there own set of challenges as users and government seek to develop underutilized species, minimize waste, and open new markets. Pelagic species such as sardine, mackerel, and tuna may provide substantial new resource bases along with developmental species like box crab, squid, and snails. In this document the Department has compiled basic resource information on most of Oregon's marine commercial and recreational fisheries. It includes an historical perspective on catch, management, and reviews emerging issues, resource assessment and data needs. Of necessity, there are fisheries not reviewed - for instance, commercial halibut. This is not because these areas are not a priority. It is simply a matter of limited time and making the document one of reasonable length.
