Fishing net full of groundfish empties onto a boat.

Analysis of Oregon Shelf Groundfishes Distributions

Researchers investigate whether fishery-dependent time series can be used to fill in spatial and temporal data gaps where scientific, fishery-independent data are not available.

Assessing commercial fishery bait in Dungeness crab feeding ecology

This study assesses the evidence for seasonal consumption of commercial Dungeness crab fishery bait off the Oregon coast by that target species through stable isotope and gut content analysis.

A Bull Trout swims along a rocky river bed in clear water.

Assessing hybridization risk between trout species using habitat modeling

Researchers developed a spatially-explicit hybridization risk model for native and non-native trout. The model can also identify stream reaches with higher risk of hybridization.

This book chapter is about research that investigates public views on fossil fuel export expansions in the Pacific Northwest.

A Dover sole fish lays flat on the ocean floor and its gray body with brown speckles blends in to form a camouflage.

Comparing fishery-independent and fishery-dependent data of Oregon groundfishes

Researchers investigate whether fishery-dependent time series can be used to fill in spatial and temporal data gaps where scientific, fishery-independent data are not available.
