Description

Abstract: The Pacific razor clam fishery on Clatsop beach (Tillamook Head to Columbia River) was sampled four days each tide series April through June and was monitored regularly during the winter fishery. Sport and commercial diggers were interviewed to obtain data on digging effort, number and age composition of clams, and harvest area. Data from beaches south of Tillamook Head were collected as time permitted. Random age and length data, samples for biological toxin analysis, wastage of clams and other miscellaneous data were collected and reported.
