Description

Abstract: Unlike other fisheries in Oregon, commercial groundfish is made up of many different target strategies and many different gear types. Species targeted include whiting, sablefish, flatfish, thornyheads, midwater and benthic rockfish, lingcod, cabezon, and greenling. 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. The infographic below displays the total groundfish landings into Oregon ports for 2025, encompassing all groundfish fisheries. Pounds landed and exvessel revenue in 2025 were up substantially from 2024, and more in line with 2021 through 2023 values. The majority of the pounds were again landed into Astoria, largely due to availability and capacity of processing plants, particularly for whiting.
