Description

Abstract: OREGON MARINE RECREATIONAL FISH STUDIES: This project originated in 1986 to address groundfish biological sampling needs in Oregon’s marine recreational fishery. Angler effort directed towards groundfish species increased significantly since the mid-1980’s as traditional opportunities for salmonid species diminished. NEARSHORE FISH STUDIES: Oregon intensified research studies on nearshore bottomfish species starting in 1998. The first project identified was to investigate differences in nearshore black rockfish populations between reef areas. In 1999, this work was expanded to include genetic stock identification for bottomfish species. We have been collecting black rockfish and other species at-sea to gather genetic samples and biological data, including age structures. The funding for this work comes from other sources. To complete this work we needed to hire a person to age the structures gathered. Starting in FY1999 funding was approved under the Sport Fish Restoration program to hire a biologist to assist in this research, and in particular, to age the black rockfish structures collected.
