Description

Abstract: The black rockfish, Sebastes melanops, is the most often caught recreational groundfish off the Oregon coast. This species' widespread occurrence, susceptibility to angling gear, and general acceptance by the angling public, all contribute to its importance now and its continued value in the future. Concern for the black rockfish resource lead the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to plan a tagging study designed to better understand the movements of these fish along our coast. This study was submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service for possible funding under the Saltonstall-Kennedy Act. Funding was approved and the project field work was completed during FY 85. This report summarizes that work and the results achieved through December, 1985.
