Description

Abstract: Unlike other fisheries in Oregon, commercial groundfish is made up of many different target species and many different gear types. Species targeted include whiting, sablefish, flatfish, and midwater rockfish. The range of gear types used include hook and line, longline, pots, and trawl gear. Diversity in both species targeted and gear types used makes Oregon’s commercial groundfish fishery uniquely challenging to summarize within one newsletter. However, this newsletter aims to provide a summary of Oregon’s 2023 commercial groundfish season.
