Description

Abstract: Tillamook Bay is a relatively undeveloped bay, but has under-gone much change due to sedimentation. The bay is now being planned by a local task force and may face further changes. Many resource agencies will be called upon to make decisions concerning the fisheries of the bay. Since these decisions can best be based on sound biological information, the Fish Commission of Oregon, in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Sportfisheries and Wildlife, set out to determine which fish and shellfish are found in Tillamook Bay, and their distribution over an annual period. A cooperative program was initiated with the Oceanography Department at Oregon State University. The program personnel will investigate the abundance of plankton in Tillamook Bay and the incidence of plankton in the stomachs of juvenile salmon. This report is a summary of the work accomplished and the data collected for the first five months of the project (February 1 - June 30, 1974).
