Description
- Abstract: Whether they are landed by anglers
using rods and reels, or commercial
fishermen using troll gear, chinook
salmon are prize fish. These fish have
been an important cultural and economic element of Oregon's coastal
economy for more than 100 years.
Although human activity has affected
the species during the past century,
chinook remain today a strong and
extremely valuable component within
the state economic system.
In 1987, for example, commercial
and recreational fisheries caught more
than a half-million chinook. Most of
those fish had their origin in coastal
streams of Oregon and northern
California. This report summarizes the findings of a study that offers a comprehensive view of Oregon's coastal chinook salmon populations based on the best information currently available. The study is titled "Chinook Salmon Populations in Oregon Coastal River Basins: Description of Life Histories and Assessment of Recent Trends in Run Strengths." The study does not deal with chinook stocks of the Columbia River Basin. A limited supply of document copies is available for public review at libraries and department offices around the state. Personal copies of the study are available for a fee.
