Description

Abstract: The Ocean Salmon Management Program (OSMP) monitors ocean commercial and recreational salmon fisheries, 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 for the best use of Oregon's salmon resources, and to evaluate proposed ocean salmon fishery regulations. Major forums in which OSMP staff participate include the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) and its salmon technical teams (STT and SSC), 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 1991 ocean season. In 1991, we collected and analyzed data on Oregon's catch and fishing effort, recovered coded-wire tags (CWT's), and gathered average weight data from commercial salmon landings. In addition, we recorded length frequencies from recreational coho landings, collected chinook scales, and took scales from coho with CWT's to maintain a reference collection of hatchery coho scales. Following the early closure of the 1991 recreational seasons, we surveyed several estuaries where salmon fisheries developed. The OSMP sampling project is permanently staffed by a project leader and an assistant project leader in Newport, and two sampling coordinators, one at Tillamook and one at Coos Bay. Up to 35 seasonal aides are hired each year as port samplers. The sampling coordinators serve as liaison between field samplers and Newport program staff, and also deliver data and coded wire tags to Newport. Nine Oregon coastal ports were sampled in 1991, utilizing 28 seasonal samplers: six were troll, 20 were recreational, and two were "combination" samplers. Most troll samplers did some recreational sampling when there were commercial closures. Two seasonal employees helped edit and computer process the sampled data under the direction of OSMP's Data Management Project.
