Description

Abstract: A study was undertaken in winter 1977-78 to obtain data on the spawning stock of Pacific herring, Clupea harengus pallasi, utilizing the Coos Bay estuary. This study centered on two objectives; (1) to record the distribution and time of herring spawn and (2) estimate the fish biomass spawning in Coos Bay. Data was obtained from eight different spawns, occurring from mid January to the end of April. Distribution of spawn areas extended from within one km of the mouth of the bay to the tributary sloughs in the upper part of the estuary, 22 km from the mouth.
