23 REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON 21 REPORT OF THE MASTER FISH WARDEN For the Biennium Ending June 3a, 1944 During the biennium ending June 3, 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, 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 3, inclusive, and the fee on albacore tuna was raised from fifty cents to $3 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 $2, 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 193 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 194, 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 193, 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 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 193, catches for the 1942 and 1943 seasons declined noticeably The take for 1943 was the lowest since 193 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

24 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 193 to 194, 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 193 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 193, and the catch of troll silvers for 1943 being less than that for 193 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 193 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 $45 to $5 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 194 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, 75, dozen being caught or landed during that two-year period as compared to 55, 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

25 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 M T HOY, Master Fish Warden

38 REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF ORMION 37 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH For the Biennium Ending June 3, 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 3, 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 Age, Length and Weight Studies of Three Species of Columbia River Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta, gorbuscha and kisutch) By John C Marr Stanford Ichthyological Bulletin, Vol 2, No 6, pp 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

39 35 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 WILLIS H RICH, Director of the Department of Research

41 4 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 3, 1944 Respectfully, HUGH C MITCHELL, Director of the Department of Fish Culture

42 REPORT OF THE FISH COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON 41 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH CULTURE For the Biennium Ended June 3, 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 2, 1944) 2,18, 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

43 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 29,44 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 taks 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 HUGH C MITCHELL, Director of the Department of Fish Culture
