Fishery Databases: Description, Documentation and Narrative for the State ofWashington

摘要

The study provided 29 databases of quantitative and qualitative data describingmajor fisheries off Oregon in a format suitable for mapping. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife developed databases summarizing the Oregon groundfish trawl fishery (1980-1989), the shrimp trawl fishery (1980-1989), the Oregon scallop fishery (1981-1985), the Washington shrimp trawl fishery (1985-1987), and the Oregon salmon troll fishery by port (1979-1988). They also produced qualitative distributional maps of selected Oregon fisheries. The groundfish, shrimp, and scallop fishery data files summarized catch in pounds and fishing effort in trawl hours within a 5 minute latitude by 5 minute longitude geographic grid system extending from Cape Mendocino, California to Cape Flattery, Washington.
