  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Salmon fisheries of the coastal rivers of Oregon south of the Columbia Author: Gharrett, John T., Oregon. Fish Commission, Hodges, John I. In spite of the progressive restrictions of the commercial river fishery during the past fifty years, the trend of the salmon populations of the coastal rivers has been downward. It is almost impossible to isolate and analyze separately the causes of this decline, and any attempt to saddle one factor with the responsibility is an oversimplification of the facts. The salmon runs have too long been taken for granted. During the rapid development of the coastal area, the welfare of the fish was ignored. The physical character of the watersheds was changed as the timber was stripped off, and in these same operations streams were blocked by log jams, mill dams, splash dams and even the gravel from the spawning beds of the streams was removed to be used in road construction. At the same time other water uses were developed for power and irrigation. While the productive capacity of the streams was being reduced and the runs resultantly lowered, the fishermen competed with each other for the remaining fish and blamed one another for the lack of fish. Apparently, at no time until recent years was a serious program developed or even considered for the conservation of the salmon runs. To date with the possible exception of one or two instances pollution has not been a serious factor in the decline of the salmon runs. The commercial river fisheries are of considerable importance to the economy of various communities on the Oregon coast. They also provide a source of salmon to those who have no other access to this productive natural resource. The recreational salmon fishery is also an important source of income to Oregon coastal communities. It is, therefore, important to these communities and the State as a whole that the salmon runs be maintained at their maximum productive level. To accomplish this the Oregon Fish Commission has developed a long range management program for the coastal rivers. This encompasses stream clearance and improvement projects, the use of artificial propagation in introducing runs and supplementing natural runs, and the close regulation of the commercial river and offshore fisheries. This program has not been underway long enough to ascertain its success, but in several instances it appears to offer promise. However, close check is being kept on the runs in order that the results of this program can be evaluated as soon as possible. The stream surveys and other observations indicate that the coastal rivers and their salmon populations are not beyond redemption, and that under proper management can be made to yield annually several times their present production.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A measured delay in the migration of adult chinook salmon at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River Author: Johnson, Donald R., Oregon. Fish Commission, Schoning, Robert W. A study was undertaken in the fall of 1948 by the Oregon Fish Commission to determine the possible presence and importance of a delay in the migration of adult chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) at Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River. Approximately 650 chinook were captured, tagged, and released at the Oneonta trap 6.7 miles below Bonneville Dam and 200 were handled similarly at the dam and released above. The tag returns from Celilo Falls, the main commercial fishing area, 60 miles above Bonneville, were compared by location of tagging with regard to date of tagging and the number of days en route. The linear correlation between tagging date and days out was significant for the 39 recoveries tagged at Bonneville but not for the 35 from Oneonta. The later in the season the fish were tagged at Bonneville the more rapidly they migrated to Celilo Falls. With no adjustment for the difference in distance between the two tagging locations, the fish from Oneonta took a significant 3.4 days longer to make the trip to Celilo than the Bonneville tagged fish. When correcting for the distance difference, the delay was reduced to 3.0 or 2.6 days, either of which was still significant. Although the number of recoveries is small, all of those used are believed to be reliable and sufficient for statistical analysis. The study represents only one year's work and investigations of another year may refute or substantiate these findings.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Tuberculosis in Pacific salmon and steelhead trout Author: Ordal, Erling Josef, 1906-, Oregon. Fish Commission, Wood, James W. Tuberculosis in salmonoid fishes was first observed in the 1952 run of fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) returning to the Bonneville Hatchery of the Oregon Fish Commission. In the studies reported here, tuberculosis was found not only in adult spring chinook but in silver salmon (0. kisutch), blueback salmon (0. nerka), and in anadromous and resident strains of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii). Advanced tuberculosis was found in salmonoid fishes held in fresh water for two years or longer, as well as in adults returning from the sea. Lesions were most frequently observed in the liver, and varied in size from small miliary tubercles to huge necrotic areas, filled with characteristic acid-fast bacilli. The typical bacilli were found in stained smears from the kidney, heart, musculature, brain, intestines, pyloric caeca, and roe of infected fish. The disease was originally observed in sexually-underdeveloped fish, and there is indication that it interferes with sexual maturation. It was found that tuberculosis in marked salmon known to be of hatchery origin was extremely high - in some cases 100 percent. Tuberculosis was absent in the small number of silver and chum salmon examined which were known to be the progeny from natural spawning. It is suggested that dissemination of the disease may be due to fish-cultural practices such as the feeding of untreated carcasses and the viscera from tuberculous fish. Since acid-fast bacilli were found in the roe of some fish, it is also suggested that the disease may be transmitted to healthy eggs during the process of fertilization. Tuberculous adult spring chinook were found less capable of surviving to maturity after they reached the spawning grounds than were non-infected fish. It is likely that tuberculosis also influences the ability of salmon to survive during earlier stages of their life history. The incidence of tuberculosis in adult spring chinook entering the Dexter holding ponds on the Middle Fork of the Willamette River in 1955 and 1956 was 8.7 and 6.1 percent, respectively. The increase in incidence to 58.8 percent in 1957 is attributed to the increased dependency of the run on artificial propagation necessitated by the construction of Lookout Point Dam. Among chinook caught in the Columbia River gill-net fishery in. February and in May 1956, 12.3 and 10.5 percent, respectively, of those examined were tuberculous. Although these are spring chinook, it is believed that hatchery reared fall chinook also entered the catch, especially during May, and may have contributed to the number of tuberculous fish taken.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Umpqua River study : a joint report Author: Oregon. State Game Commission, Oregon. Fish Commission The species of anadromous fish entering the Umpqua River are: chinook salmon (spring, summer, and fall runs), silver salmon, steelhead trout (summer and winter runs), cutthroat trout, shad, striped bass and sturgeon. The winter steelhead, striped bass, and shad runs appear to be maintaining themselves. The runs of the other species appear to be in various stages of depletion. Major factors which have contributed to this depletion are: overfishing by the commercial fishery and more recently the sport fishery; and barriers such as log jams, "splash" damns, mill dam and hydroelectric developments. Other factors which may be of importance are: predation; unscreened gravity water diversions; water removal by pumping for irrigation, industrial, and municipal use; and fluctuations in water levels due to meterological conditions. The total run of spring chinook salmon into the Umpqua River in 1946 was estimated to be 4,400 fish of which approximately 935 were jacks. (fish under 20 inches). The fishing mortality of shad of commercial size, in the 1946 Umpqua River run, was estimated to be 50 percent. The total catch of the various species of salmon by the commercial and sport fisheries in 1946 were as follows: Under a proper management program, an average sustained yield of several times in the 1946 catches may be expected. During 1946, anglers spent at least $292,700 in this area while fishing for salmon and trout in the Umpqua River. The capital investment was estimated to be $2,402,500. The commercial fishery products of salmon steelhead, shad, striped bass, pilchards, and crabs taken from the Umpqua River in 1946 had a wholesale valur of $652,400. The capital investment was not determined. Title: The Umpqua River study : a joint report Author: Oregon. State Game Commission, Oregon.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Analysis of factors affecting the production of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in Tillamook Bay Author: Oregon. Fish Commission, Henry, Kenneth A. Tillamook Bay chum salmon are caught commercially by gill-nets, both set and drift, and from 1928 through 1949 the landings have averaged 819,689 pounds per season. More chum salmon are caught on Tillamook Bay than on the rest of the Oregon coastal rivers combined. These fish enter the ocean only a few weeks after hatching and return to their native streams to spawn, apparently in the third, fourth, or fifth year of their life. There are numerous factors such as predation, fishing intensity, success of spawning, which may have some effect on the production of Tillamook Bay chum salmon. There was no apparent relationship between total chum landings and lumber production 4 and 8 years previous. It is possible that a relationship between these two factors may exist for some period other than 4 or 8 years previous, but this was not investigated further at this time. Numerous factors, mainly various combinations of stream flow data, were correlated with the size of the commercial landings of chum salmon in an attempt to determine a "predictor" of future abundance. An apparent good relationship, with b = 2.05944 (P = 01), between total chum landings and the minimum stream flow occurring between January 15 and March 20 three years previous was discovered. The regression equation obtained is y = -493.6355 + 2.05944x. The regression of the size of the commercial landings of chum salmon on three variables was computed. These three variables were: (1) minimum stream flow occurring between January 15 and March 20 three years previous; (2) highest air temperature occurring during January or February 3 years previous; and (3) the maximum stream flow occurring between November 1-10 four years previous. The regression equation obtained is y = 346.4554 + 97.3148x[subscript 1] + 66.1037x[subscript 2] — 77.8188x[subscript 3]. The probabilities attached to the results of all the regression functions which were computed are biased because of the manner in which the data were selected to obtain the best relationship. Furthermore, although an apparent good relationship was determined between minimum flows and the size of the commercial landings, it must be realized that these results have some very definite limitations to their actual values. In addition to the biased nature of the probabilities, is the fact that these results have been derived from a very limited amount of data. Also, these analyses have been based on some very important assumptions which, if not true, would almost completely invalidate the results obtained. These assumptions are: (1) catch = a constant X abundance; (2) all the fish mature at 4 years of age; (3) these data can be fitted to a linear model along with the other general assumptions about regression data; (4) fishing intensity has remained relatively constant (implied in 1); and (5) methods of recording flow data have remained consistent from year to year.
