Description

Abstract: Section 1: This report summarizes program progress in FY 1972. Activities were directed almost entirely toward the groundfish survey of the continental shelf off Oregon between the Columbia River and Cape Blanco. Since the area was too large to be surveyed in one cruise, it will be surveyed over a two year period. The first phase covered the area between the Columbia River and Yaquina Head. Objectives of the survey were to obtain estimates of biomass of fishes occupying the continental shelf with particular emphasis on flatfish and to develop techniques of indexing year class strength of flatfishes important to the commercial fishery prior to their recruitment to the fishery. Section 2: Objective of the shrimp survey was to test "pilot" level results in a "production" management situation. This was the first of an anticipated series of annual population estimates within areas surveyed in 1966-67 and important in the commercial fishery. By correlating commercial catch-effort data with estimates we hope to develop a better management rationale for this resource and to help the fishery through more precise predictions of stock status. The welfare of shrimp stocks is of three-state (California-Oregon-Washington) interest because of possible ocean movement of shrimp across state lines and because both fishermen and processors take shrimp caught off Oregon to adjacent states for sale.
