Description

Abstract: A comprehensive plan was prepared for managing Oregon's anadromous salmon and trout resources. The plan provides the basic framework for managing individual anadromous species, presenting an organized approach rather than an empirical approach to management problems. It also provides the primary focus for developing subsidiary management plans for individual subbasins. The management goals, status of the stocks, planning definitions, and administrative guidelines constraining the planning process are described or documented in developing the plan. The plan applies four fundamental concepts on wild fish, stocks, stock-recruitment relationships, and habitat requirements as underlying principles required for prudent management of anadromous fish resources. The concepts and their role in the planning effort are documented. Various economic goals and associated problems are described to attain efficient and equitable utilization of anadromous fish resources by harvesters and to satisfy the broader concerns of society in managing the stocks.

Purpose: This planning document, Comprehensive Plan for Production and Management of Oregon's Anadromous Salmon and Trout (henceforth referred to as the Anadromous Fish Management Plan), is a natural outgrowth of the strategic plan which provided guidelines for developing more detailed subsidiary plans for Oregon's fish resources. The Anadromous Fish Management Plan presents an organized approach to managing stocks of fish in Oregon. The planning document is a source of information on ODFW's perceptions and priorities in managing these stocks. The plan also provides the primary focus for developing management plans for individual river basins.

Time Period of Content: 1853-1982

Geographic Extent: The coastal, Columbia River, and Willamette River basins; Pacific Ocean and interstate waters under joint jurisdiction with other states; and the anadromous species originating in or jointly managed by ODFW in the region.
