Description

Abstract: In 1949 the Oregon Fish Commission began investigating the razor clam fishery. About 90% of the fishery was located on the 18-mile beach between Tillamook Head and the Columbia River; in this area the 2-mile Seaside Beach supported nearly one-half the fishery. Both recreational and commercial fisheries were active. Early in the investigation certain problems became evident. This report discusses these problems under the following sections: a review of regulations, status of the fishery, utilization of the clam stocks, and recommendations for management.
