Description

Abstract: The Ocean Salmon Management Program (OSMP) monitors and assesses Oregon's ocean commercial and recreational salmon fisheries, processes and manages the Oregon ocean fishery and coastal data bases, coordinates Oregon coastal salmon spawning surveys, and conducts ocean and coastal stream research projects. The program uses data from these and other sources to develop management recommendations to policy makers for the best use of Oregon's salmon resources, and to evaluate proposed ocean salmon fishery regulations. Principal forums in which OSMP staff provide technical support include the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) and its salmon technical teams, the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC) and their technical committees, and the Klamath Fishery Management Council (KFMC). The OSMP fulfills Oregon's technical and management responsibilities to these management entities as directed under the U.S./Canada Salmon Interception Treaty (1986), the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA) PL 94-265 (1976), and the Anadromous Fisheries Act 89-304. This report summarizes the activities of OSMP's Ocean Salmon Sampling Project for the 1990 ocean season. In 1990, we collected and analyzed data on catch and fishing effort, gathered average weight data from commercial salmon landings, collected chinook scales, and recovered coded-wire tags (CWT's) from salmon caught in Oregon's ocean fisheries. We also took scales from coho with CWT's to maintain a reference collection of hatchery coho scales. Special studies included the port of Newport evaluation of the extent of afternoon sport salmon ocean effort, the ''late season" ocean sport fishery off Tillamook Bay, and the experimental limited entry troll chinook fishery off Coos Bay in November. The ocean sampling project also assisted in an ocean commercial troll gear selectivity study conducted by OSMP. The OSMP sampling project is permanently staffed by a project leader (at Newport), an assistant project leader (at Newport}, and two sampling coordinators (one at Coos Bay and one at Tillamook). Up to 35 seasonal aides are hired each year as port samplers. The sampling coordinators served as liaison between field samplers and Newport program staff. Ten Oregon coastal ports were sampled in 1990, utilizing 33 seasonal samplers; of which 10 were troll, 21 were recreational, one was a "combination'' sampler, and one was designated as a roving sampler and traveled the length of the coast where extra sampling was needed. Two seasonal employees helped edit and provide computer data entry of the sample data under the direction of the Data Management Project Leader and his assistant.
