Description

Abstract: The Ocean Sampling Project unit of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) monitors the ocean commercial troll salmon and the ocean recreational boat fisheries. The data collected and estimates generated by the sampling project are used to assist in the development of strategies to effectively manage Oregon's fisheries resources, and to evaluate proposed ocean fishery regulations. This report summarizes the activities during the 2006 salmon fishery (March through December) for both sections of the Ocean Sampling Project: (1) The Commercial Troll Salmon Project (CTSP) and (2) the Ocean Recreational Boat Survey (ORBS). Primary activities within CTSP include: Recovery of coded wire tags (CWT), estimation of average weight of salmon by species and grade, monitoring of quota fishery landings, and estimating catch and effort by area and time. The key functions of ORBS include: Recovery of CWTs; estimating catch by species, port, area, boat type, and time; estimating numbers of fish released for key species; at sea observations of the recreational selective coho fishery; and collection of biological data from several species.
