REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON

REPORT OF THE MASTER FISH WARDEN
For the Biennium Ending June
3a, 1944
During the biennium ending June 30, 1944, the revenue receipts of the Commission have
been considerably less than was anticipated at the time estimates were prepared for the state
budget division some six months prior to the beginning of the period. Total receipts for the
two years were more than $38,000 under those of the preceding biennium, increases in the
rate of poundage fees on chinook salmon and albacore tuna granted by the 1943 legislature
notwithstanding. The poundage fee on chinook was increased from one-quarter to one-half
cent per pound for the period between August 11 and September 30, inclusive, and the fee
on albacore tuna was raised from fifty cents to $3.00 per ton. License fees and revenue receipts
derived by the Commission from other sources remained reasonably constant and as a result
were close comparable to returns during like recent periods. As a result of this decrease or falling off in revenue receipts—in all probability due in great part to the diminution in the takes
of chinook, silvers and chum salmon—it obviously became necessary for the Commission to
obtain additional funds with which to carry on regular and normal operations or to discontinue
sufficient departmental activities to offset or make up for that loss in revenue. Plans are
being initiated in conjunction with a committee composed of a representative of the fishermen, the packers, and the general public, to make application to the Legislative Emergency
Fund Committee for an emergency appropriation of $20,000. Favorable consideration of the
application when presented to that honorable body is anticipated and hoped for, in which
event sufficient funds with which to continue the work now under way in the various departments of the Commission on into the next biennial period, without undue interruption, will
be available.
There follows herein a series of graphs showing the total take of salmon and other food
fish from inland waters and rivers of the state during the years 1930 to 1943, inclusive. The
take by individual species, namely, chinook, silvers, chums, shad, steelhead and troll-caught
chinook and silver salmon, is shown also. From the graph showing total takes it will be noted
that only fourteen million pounds of commercial food fish were taken in 1943, while some
twenty-five million pounds were taken during 1942, and approximately twenty-nine million
pounds in 1941, the last year of the previous biennium. From graphs covering takes by individual species, an appreciable falling off in amounts of chinook, silvers, and chum salmon
will be noted for 1943 as compared with 1940, 1941 and 1942. Explanatory comments relative
to each of the seven graphs in the series follows.
Graph No. 1 shows the annual take or catch of all species of commercial food fish taken
in the state of Oregon. Although the 1941 take shows approximately twenty-nine million
pounds—nearly ten million pounds more than that for 1930, and with the exception of the
years 1932 and 1933, both depression years, indicated an upward trend for that twelve year
period—the take for the 1942-1943 biennium shows a marked decline. The take for 1943 was
slightly under fourteen million pounds, the lowest annual catch during the fourteen year
period under comparison.
Graph No. 2 shows the yearly take or catch of chinook salmon. It will be observed that
while the catch for 1941 was six- million pounds more, or a little over fifty percent greater
than that for 1930, catches for the 1942 and 1943 seasons declined noticeably. The take for
1943 was the lowest since 1930.
Graph No. 3 shows the yearly take or catch of silver salmon. A continued falling off or
decline is noted—the catch for 1943 being lower than for any year during the fourteen year
period and as much as five million pounds below the highest catch recorded during the period.
Graph No. 4 shows the yearly take or catch of chum salmon. The apparent upward trend
22
REPORT OF TILE FISH COMIVIISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
reflected in the take of this species in 1941 continued in 1942, during which year close to
six million pounds were taken. The 1943 catch, however, dropped to slightly less than one
million pounds, an amount approximating closely the average take for the eleven year period
1930 to 1940, inclusive.
Graph No. 5, a two-line graph, shows the take or catch of steelheads—one line showing
the total commercial take for the state and the other the take or catch for coastal streams
other than the Columbia river. It will be noted that although the total take of steelheads has
decreased slightly each year during the biennium, the take in the coastal area for 1943 is
approximately one-third of what it was for 1930.
Graph No. 6 shows the yearly take or catch of shad. Over the fourteen year period shown
the trend is slightly downward, although annual takes during the period have been both
higher and lower than that of 1943.
Graph No. 7 shows the total annual commercial take or landings of troll salmon; also
the landings of troll silvers and troll chinook. It will be noted that the graph line representing the total take of troll salmon follows very closely the one representing the take of silver
salmon—the total take by troll for 1943 being some four million pounds lower than that for
1930, and the catch of troll silvers for 1943 being less than that for 1930 by approximately a
like amount. The take of troll chinook salmon , for 1943 broke the upward trend evidenced in
this species during 1941 and is but a little more than one-third of the 1941 take and approximately a half million pounds less than that for 1930.
Reference to the wide seasonal variations in the takes or catches of individual species
of salmon and other fish, as well as in the total take for the state, is made for statistical purposes only and in no way is intended to reflect or infer any relative state of depletion in the
runs of any of the particular species of fish so referred to.
The work of the department in connection with stream or channel improvement and
in the maintenance or construction of fishways has been held to a minimum during the
biennium, due to a lack of funds allocated for the work and to the shortage of manpower.
Attention is called to the fact that while fishways serving our more important streams or
their tributaries have been kept clear of accumulating debris, much needed maintenance and
repair work has not been possible. The last maintenance work at Oregon City Falls, for
example, was in 1934 and according to recently completed estimates, an expenditure of some
$4500 to $5000 will be required to put it into a state of good repair and bring about the most
efficient operating condition. An additional fishway is needed and should be constructed
over the barrier at Oregon City at the first possible moment funds can be made available for
that purpose. Fishways over or through barriers in other parts of the state also are in need
of attention. Likewise a comprehensive and state-wide program in connection with screening,
stream survey and channel improvement should be initiated and carried out with as much
expediency as possible, finances and available manpower considered.
There has been considerable expansion and increased production in the marine fisheries
as developed in recent years off the coast of Oregon. The trawl fishery is rising to a new
prominence and shark fishing—long-line and net—has shown good returns to the fishermen
and at the same time has made a most generous contribution to the wartime supply of vitamins. Prior to 1940 these fisheries were considered as relatively unimportant but production
therefrom has more than doubled during the two years just past. In 1943, for example, nearly
thirty-two million pounds of fish and liver were landed as compared with some sixteen
million pounds in 1942 and approximately ten million pounds in 1941. The crab fishery also
has reflected satisfactory gains during the biennium, 750,000 dozen being caught or landed
during that two-year period as compared to 550,000 dozen landed during the preceding
biennium. Many believe a change in the manner or method in vogue between fishermen and
dealers in the purchase of crabs resulting from recent federal regulation will tend to minimize
future production. Since this new procedure has been operative, however, no minimizing effect
REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
23
on crab production has been noticed or is evidenced by the records in this office. The fishery
for albacore, long-finned tuna, has maintained its former production, in further support of
its ultimate permanency as a fishery —approximately ten million pounds being landed during
each year of the biennium.
Even though the impact of the present world conflict on Oregon's fishery is as readily
apparent as it is on other valuable and important industries, it wi,11 tend to more clearly
demonstrate -the value and importance of that fishery, not only as an economic asset to the
state of Oregon but also as a continuing source of fats, vitamin oils and protein foods. Every
possible effort therefore should be exerted to promote its future welfare, to assure a maximum
of production and utilization on a sustained yield basis 'and to preserve and protect it from
future depletion and over exploitation.

Master Fish Warden.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH
For the Biennium Ending June 30, 1944
The work of the Department of Research during the past biennium has been greatly
curtailed on account of the war. As stated in the report for June 30, 1942, out of the four
men who constituted the Department, two of them, Mr. Stanley Jewett, Jr., and Mr. Edwin
Niska, had left to engage in war work before that date. At the close of the past biennium Mr.
Jewett was in New Guinea with the Army Signal Corps and Mr. Niska was in England with
a Harbor Craft Company of the Army. The director went on leave in July, 1943, to accept a
war-time appointment with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. For several months he took
part in the work of the Coordinator of Fisheries and was attached to the San Francisco office
as Administrator of Fishery Production for the Sardine Industry. Later lie was placed in
charge of North Pacific Fishery Investigations with headquarters in Seattle. In this capacity
he has had direction of all research on Pacific salmon for the Fish and Wildlife Service and
has been able, therefore, to continue the studies of the salmon fisheries of the Columbia River
that have been so important a part of the program of the Department of Research. Mr. Vernon
Brock went on leave in September, 1943. He also was given a war-time appointment with the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and for the rest of the biennium served as Assistant Administrator of Fishery Production and Production Analyst in the San Francisco office of the Coordinator of Fisheries.
The total effect of these losses in man-power has been that only two men were active in
the department during the biennium and these only during the first year. During this time
Mr. Brock continued his studies of the sardine and albacore fisheries and prepared a report
presenting the results of his albacore studies to date. This was accepted by Stanford. University as fulfilling the requirements for a Master's thesis. The director continued his studies
of the salmon runs of the Columbia River and, as stated above, is keeping in close touch with
these studies during the period of his employment by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
During the biennium he has published one short paper which forms a supplement to his earlier
paper on the salmon runs of the Columbia River in 1938 (Contribution No. 7). A graduate
student at Stanford University, Mr. Jack C. Marr, made a preliminary study of silver, chum
and pink salmon of the Columbia River. This was based on material provided by the director
and the study was made under his supervision. This report also was accepted as a Master's
thesis by Stanford University.
In spite of the greatly reduced activity of the Department three Contributions have been
issued during the biennium. The first seven Contributions were listed in the preceding report;
the three additions were as follows :
8. An Application of the Control Chart Method to the Analysis
of Fisheries Data. By Willis H. Rich. Science, vol. 97, No. 2516,
pp 269-270. 1943.
9. Age, Length and Weight Studies of Three Species of Columbia
River Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta, 0. gorbuscha and 0. kisutch).
By John C. Marr. Stanford Ichthyological Bulletin, Vol 2, No. 6, pp
157-197. 1943.
10. Contribution to the Biology of the Albacore (Gerino alalunga)
of the Oregon Coast and Other Parts of the North Pacific. By Vernon
E. Brock. Stanford Ichthyological Bulletin, Vol. 2, No. 7, pp 199-248.
1943.

REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
There has been no change in the general policies of the Department. These have been
adequately presented in previous biennial reports. In the last biennial report the hope was
expressed that the continuity of the work of the Department could be maintained during the
war—at least insofar as the collection of data was concerned. It is highly important _Oat continuity in fisheries research be thus maintained but this has proved impossible under present
conditions. As soon as possible it is planned to resume work on all of the various projects
that formed the program on which we were engaged in 1941; and it is hoped that the same
loyal and efficient staff can be reassembled to take up the work where it was interrupted
for more important duties.
It is recommended that serious consideration be given to the expansion of the research
program as soon after the close of the war as conditions will permit. Several federal agencies
are planning extensive engineering developments for the Columbia Basin that will involve
numerous large dams and water diversions. This program will undoubtedly be initiated early
in the post-war period as a part of a nation-wide "make-work" program designed to prevent
unemployment during the reconversion from war-time to peace-time economy. These developments will seriously affect the salmon resources of the Columbia River and, conceivably, may
so reduce them as to destroy the commercial fishery. It is of obvious importance to the State
to see that adequate consideration is given to the salmon resources and that every reasonable
effort is made to provide for their maintenance. Past studies of the Department of Research
are already proving to be of fundamental importance in developing plans for the maintenance
of these resources in the face of proposed engineering developments. The problems involved
are many and difficult and it is important that the Fish Commission of Oregon have its own
source of information as a basis for deciding the proper course of action. The work of the
Department of Research in this field should be enlarged and closely coordinated with similar
studies by other federal and state agencies.

Director of the Department of Research.

REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Portland, Oregon, July 1, 1944
FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON,
Portland, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
In accordance with the provision of law, I herewith submit the report of the Department
of Fish Culture for the biennium ended June 30, 1944.
Respectfully,
HUGH C. MITCHELL,
Director of the Department of Fish Culture.
REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
41
REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH CULTURE
For the Biennium Ended June 30, 1944
The work of the Department of Fish Culture during the past two years has been pushed
with the utmost vigor in an effort to maintain the runs of food fishes so badly needed during
this critical period. The salmon runs of the state constitute one of its most important natural
resources and represents one of the principal sources of food supply. Aside from its valuable
contribution to the war effort in the immense quantities of food provided, thousands of people
are dependent, wholly or in part, upon these resources for their livelihood; and their welfare
is dependent upon the maintenance of the salmon runs. It is to the special interest of these
people that the salmon supply be maintained at the level of maximum productivity and it is
also to the interest of all the citizens of this state and the war effort that this be done.
The propagation work of this department assumes added importance as time goes on and
more and more of the salmon-bearing streams within the state are rendered impotent for
natural propagation due to the erection of impassable barriers and the utilization of the
water resources of the streams for other purposes.
Artificial propagation of the Pacific salmon was first undertaken by Mr. Livingston
Stone, employed by the U. S. Fish Commission, on the Sacramento River near the mouth of
the McCloud River in the year of 1872. Artificial propagation of these species was first practiced in Oregon on the Clackamas River near the mouth of Clear Creek in 1876, also by Mr.
Livingston Stone, working for the U. S. Fish Commission. Since that time practical 'methods
have been greatly developed, and scientific researches skillfully conducted have impressed a
new character upon the art of fish culture. It might be termed a branch of rural economy
which has for its purpose the improvement of waters. A very general interest is now felt in
the important question of the artificial multiplication of fish which is conducted as a natural
science and a part in political economy. The result of experiments which, since the early
pioneer efforts of Mr. Livingston Stone and others, have had for their object the restocking
of rivers, forms a remarkable chapter of zoological history ; and there is much more to be
written with a threat of the ever-increasing number of hydro-electric dams and similar
barriers.
Research work on the Pacific salmon among the scientists was begun by Dr. Gilbert,
an associate of Dr. David Starr Jordan, in the early eighties. Many valuable contributions
were prepared by him and have added greatly to the scientific knowledge of the Pacific
salmon. Since his time scientific investigations of the salmon runs have been carried on by
a number of very able men and of equal note; among them being Dr. Willis H. Rich, head
of the Department of Research for the Fish Commission of the State of Oregon.
Because of the great dams already constructed in the Columbia River or its tributaries
and the very large number of proposed dams in the Columbia and its tributaries, it is generally agreed by scientists and all others concerned that the hope of maintaining and supporting the salmon runs in the Columbia River Basin will rest largely upon artificial means
of production.
From conclusions reached as a result of recent feeding experiments and observation of
the migratory habits of the silver salmon, spring Chinook and blueback, it has been determined that it is necessary to feed the species mentioned for a period of fourteen months at
stations located on streams in which the spawning areas are limited or otherwise destroyed.
The practice of feeding silver salmon for a period of fourteen months was started at the
Bonneville and Klaskanine stations four years ago. The results of this work have been most
gratifying. A run of silver salmon has been established at the Bonneville station where none
existed before and at the Klaskanine station the run has been very materially increased. At
this date (Nov. 20, 1944) 2,108,000 eggs have been taken at the Klaskanine station and there
are sufficient adult salmon on hand to produce an additional three million eggs. Many more
42
REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
are in sight in the river and it is confidently expected that the total take of silver eggs will
reach seven or eight million for this season, which is a figure that has never before been
equalled at the Klaskanine station.
This method of long-time feeding is now also being carried on at the Trask and Alsea
stations and will be put into effect at others as soon as funds are available.
In order to successfully carry out the fourteen-months' feeding plan, considerable expansion of our present facilities at most stations is necessary. There will also be a great addition to our present outlay of fish food as well as additional manpower, which presents quite
a problem under our limited financial set-up.
Upon the construction of the Umatilla dam, which according to present plans will be
much higher than the Bonneville dam and will constitute an almost insurmountable barrier
so far as salmon migration is concerned, it is felt that the salmon-producing streams in the
area above this barrier will be lost for all time. Therefore, it has been decided to develop
for salmon production to their fullest extent all the streams tributary to the Columbia River
below the site of the proposed Umatilla dam.
In line with this decision, construction of fish cultural facilities on the Metolius and John
Day rivers I trust will be authorized by the Fish Commission of the State of Oregon as soon
as funds are available. In connection much study has been given to a rather extensive survey
of these streams for suitable hatchery sites and the determination of the maximum and minimum temperatures as well as the oxygen content of the waters of these streams. Suitable sites
were located on both streams and application has been made to the Forest Service for use of
lands on which the proposed fish cultural stations may be located.
At the proposed Metolius station, in addition to the spring Chinook, it is planned to develop and establish a blueback run using Suttle Lake as a spawning area and rearing area
for the fingerlings.
The principal species of salmon propagated at the Willamette River stations is the spring
Chinook. It is here that we are able to procure seed of the very valuable spring Chinook- and
with which it is hoped to develop this breed in streams not now supporting large runs and
those indicated for future development.
From the run of blueback of 1944 five hundred adult blueback salmon were taken from the
ladders at the Bonneville dam and held in ponds at our Bonneville station. The purpose of this
was to determine whether or not the adult fish could be held through the summer and the
females successfully spawned and propagated at points below the proposed Umatilla dam
in the event this obstruction cuts off entirely upstream migration. The experiment so far is
a success and five hundred thousand very fine eggs were obtained.
During August of 1944 in conjunction with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service 29,440
fall Chinook fingerlings were marked by excision of the right pectoral and left ventral fins,
and released into Tanner Creek at Bonneville. This experiment is being carried out with the
idea of obtaining more information as to the proper time for the release of fall Chinook
fingerlings.
The egg tak.s during the biennium has not been exceptional. However, at the Bonneville
station, where a comparison of runs is available, it was found that the ratio of the number
of fish entering the Bonneville Fisheries station during 1944 was many times greater than
that passing over the counting boards at Bonneville dam when compared with the ratio of
past years.

Director of the Department of Fish Culture.
