Description

Abstract: Oregon has had a directed commercial fishery for albacore (Thunnus alalunga) since 1936. Albacore landings have been highly variable, ranging from under a half-million pounds to over 37 million pounds. In the last decade, catches have averaged close to four million pounds. For the last several years, sampling of Oregon's albacore fishery has been a cooperative effort between Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Marine Fisheries Service, and Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. This report documents the progress of the 1996 fishery off Oregon, and the associated sampling activities.
