Description

Abstract: Sport use of marine food fish, shellfish, and miscellaneous invertebrates was estimated in 15 Oregon estuaries in terms of catch, user trips and hours of effort. User origin was also determined. Boat, shore, tideflat and scuba fisheries were sampled from March through October. The anadromous sport fisheries in most estuaries were not included. Sampling procedures were tailored to each estuary. The value of the study was twofold; it provided (1) input into estuary planning and zoning and (2) data for estuarine resource management. A future study should include the entire estuary, all fisheries and economic evaluations.
