Description

Abstract: The Ocean Salmon Management Program (OSMP) monitors ocean commercial and recreational salmon fisheries, and conducts ocean and coastal river's investigations for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). The program uses data from these and other sources to assist in the development of management strategies to effectively manage Oregon's salmon resources and to evaluate proposed ocean salmon fishery regulations. This report summarizes the activities of OSMP's Ocean Salmon Sampling Project for the 1997 ocean season. In 1997, we collected and analyzed data on Oregon's catch and fishing effort, recovered coded wire tags (CWTs), and gathered average weight data from commercial salmon landings. We collected tissue samples from chinook for genetic stock analysis of the troll fishery in the Newport Catch Area on the central Oregon Coast. The OSMP sampling project is permanently staffed by a project leader and an assistant project leader at Newport, and two field sampling coordinators; one each at Tillamook and Charleston (seasonal position). The sampling coordinators serve as liaison between seasonal field samplers, fishery participants, and program staff at Newport; deliver data and coded wire tags to Newport; and also provide additional sampling when needed. The Oregon Coast has twelve substantial ocean ports or access points to the ocean salmon fishery. In 1997, we sampled eleven of the primary Oregon coastal ports, utilizing twenty seasonal samplers: three were commercial troll samplers, nine were recreational samplers, seven were "combination" commercial-recreational samplers, and one seasonal employee worked 40% of the time sampling the recreational fishery and 60% of the time processing data. In addition, two sampling coordinators, the project leader, and assistant project leader also assisted in field sampling at times. One employee was hired to collect genetic tissue samples from the commercial chinook landings at Newport, and several additional samplers were picked up on loan from other projects for short time periods (Appendix Table 1 ).
