Description

Abstract: The disposal of radioactive waste products is a serious problem facing scientists and the public. One solution proposed is to dump these waste products at sea, with the area of northern Oregon and southern Washington in 100 to 1,000 fathoms as one area of consideration. However, one of the problems to be resolved is the subsequent distribution of fishes present in the area where these wastes would be dumped. Do these fish move inshore to become available to fisheries and hence utilized by man? The most practical method presently available to determine the migration of these deep water fishes is by tagging. Recoveries of tagged fish by the inshore fisheries would provide information on the offshore-inshore movements of these fish. This is the fourth in a series of annual progress reports on a cooperative study by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), Bureau of Commercial Fisheries (BCF), ad Oregon Fish commission (OFC) to determine the offshore-inshore movements of Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus) and sablefish (Anoplopoma fibria). Funds for this study are made available from the AEC on a yearly contractual basis. This report will present a brief summary of the work accomplished since the initiation of the study in 1961 and a more detailed summary of the progress made during the past year (October 1, 1964 to September 30, 1965).
