An Investigation of Evaporation from the Ocean off the Oregon Coast, and from Yaquina Bay, Oregon - DeRycke, Richard J. (Oregon State University, 1967)
A weather station was established on the dock of the Oregon State University Marine Science Center, Yaquina Bay, Oregon. A total of 197 weather observations was made from 30 June 1966 to 23 September 1966, with emphasis on the determination of the rate of evaporation from an evaporation pan and from atmometers. Sources of observational error were investigated and corrections applied as necessary. The daily variation in evaporation was determined. The correlation between wind, vapor pressure, and evaporation was found. Atmometers were used to estimate the evaporation from the surface of Yaquina Bay, and the possibility of using atmometers at sea was investigated.

Angler success as a quality determinant of sport fishery recreational values - Stevens, Joe B. (Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1966)
"The empirical importance of “angler success per unit of effort” as a quality determinant of recreational values was investigated with regard to three sport fisheries at Yaquina Bay, Oregon. A 10% increase in salmon (Oncorhynchus) angling success would induce a long-run increase in angling effort of approximately 10%, although bottomfish (sea perches, Embiotocidae; starry flounder, Platichthys; and other estuarine fishes) angling effort seems to be considerably less responsive to changes in success. Demand functions and success “elasticities” for each fishery were used to estimate the decrease in net economic value associated with a pollution-induced reduction in angling success."

Report on sanitary survey Yaquina Bay shellfish growing areas May, 1951 by Oregon State Sanitary Authority - Boydston, James R.; Oregon. Fish Commission (Oregon Fish Commission. Shellfish Program Special Report, 1951)
"The waters of the bay are grossly polluted from Toledo to a point about five miles below Toledo. The bay is moderately polluted tram a point five miles below Tolddo toCoquille Point, and satisfactory for shellfish propagation tram Coquille Point to Newport. The discharge of untreated sewage by the city of Toledo into Yaquina Bay isthe cause of nearly all the pollution found in the waters of the bay.. . The alarming rate of increase in pollution of Yaquina Bay can be shown by the fact that for sections III and IV the median MPN [most probable number] for samples collected on ebb tide was 23 in 1944, 130 in 1948, and 240 in 1951."

Observations on horseclams of the 1949 set (Shellfish Investigation Progress Report, 1950)
“An excellent opportunity was afforded to observe growth of horseclams of the one-year-plus class when it was discovered April 7, 1950, that a newly formed mud flat in Yaquina Bay, formed September and October 1948 by fill from dredging operations, had thousands of young horseclams embedded in it. Because the horseclams spawn in February and March principally, these clams would of necessity have to be of the 1949 spawn, or one-year-old class.” (p.1) Since the age of the clams was known, researchers used them to test clam aging techniques for accuracy. They conducted growth studies, and followed up on an earlier report (Shellfish investigation progress report no.18) on clam condition as affected by spawning. Includes hand-drawn graphs.

Pleistocene history of the Newport, Oregon region - Baldwin, Ewart M. (Geological News Letter, 1950)
This article gives a concise summary of Baldwin's work on the area in the 1940s. It includes a hand-drawn map. There is an interesting speculation about a shift in the mouth of the Yaquina River. "The former mouth of the Yaquina River probably lies somewhat south of its present mouth beneath the dune area where evidence is buried. At present, the dunes have been encroaching northward and driving the river against the resistant Astoria sandstone along the north bank," (p.79)

Some factors influencing the trends of salmon populations in Oregon - McKernan, Donald L.; Johnson, Donald R.; Hodges, John I.; Oregon. Fish Commission (Contribution (Oregon. Fish Commission), 1950)
December_1950. Three factors were found to be significantly correlated with the fluctuations and trends in silver salmon production in Oregon. Logging was found to adversely affect the runs of salmon in later years. Exceptional winter floods seem to produce poor resulting runs. Low summer water flows also appear to produce lower than average runs on some rivers, while higher summer flows appear to be followed by an increase in the resultant runs. The intensity of fishing was also found to affect the subsequent productivity of the fisheries. Increases in fishing effort on the rivers studied were followed in succeeding cycles by a lower catch, and when the fishing effort declined the ensuing production of silver salmon generally increased. Other factors studied did not bear a significant relationship to the fluctuations or trends of productivity of silver salmon.

Horseclam condition studies - Marriage, Lowell D.; Oregon. Fish Commission (Shellfish Investigation Progress Report, 1949)
The first regulations restricting clamming in Oregon went into effect in 1948. Initial rules barred clamming from January 1 through June 30; clam diggers objected that this was too restrictive and lobbied for longer seasons. This 1949 document examines the fat gaper or horseclam, to see when its condition was at its best , in order to determine the best times for open clamming seasons. The authors concluded that they needed more information about the winter months before they could contemplate a change. This document gives a good example of earlier natural resource management and decision-making. Original report and supplement with more data for 1949. Includes charts and hand-drawn illustrations of clams.

Proposed regulations of the clam fishery of the State of Oregon - Tollefson, Roger; Oregon. Fish Commission, (Shellfish Investigation Progress Report, 1948)
By 1948, Oregon’s clamming regulations spilled over into fifty-one different sections of administrative rules. They were “cumbersome” at best. The previous legislative session had repealed many outdated laws but kept them in effect until the Fish Commission could study the issue and propose new regulations. The Commission had been studying the issue for a little more than a year in Tillamook, Yaquina and Coos bays and in this document gives its first recommendations, primarily focusing on the gaper, or “horse,” clam fishery. Among other recommendations, the Fish Commission proposed closing Nestucca Bay to commercial clam digging.

Boone family reminiscences as told to Mrs. Dye - Dye, Eva Emery (Oregon Historical Quarterly, 1941)
In 1905, Mrs. Eva E. Dye travelled to Boone's Island on Yaquina Bay and interviewed George Luther Boone, great-grandson of Daniel Boone, in his home on the bay. Mr. Boone's description of the bay at the turn of the century is vivid and immediate. "In August the bay is alive with sardines; in March and April alive with herring; in August, September, October, November, the air is full of salmon leaping, jumping right out of the water. Scow-loads of salmon are taken right in front of the house. Thousands of cases are canned close by. We can our own salmon. Norwegian herring (pilchards) are caught by the bushel, so fat they break in two like a stick." Mentions Native American hunting of sea lions and European hunting of sea otters in Yaquina Bay.

New oyster projects on the Oregon Coast - Anonymous (Pacific Fisherman, 1932)
This short article describes recent and ongoing oyster-growing activities on the Oregon Coast. In Netarts Bay, the Pacific Oyster Company was “developing 600 acres of oyster land” and transplanting Japanese oysters into the bay. Yaquina Bay had seen its native Olympia oysters decline, had tried Eastern oysters, “a venture which was not attended with great success,” and was about to experiment with Japanese oysters. Experimental plantings of oysters in Nehalem Bay had done well and there were plans to plant both Eastern and Japanese oysters there. A succinct and highly informative summary of activities.

Little fall salmon canning done: Puget Sound winter fishing seasons closed; low prices result in curtailed fishing operations – fresh fish trade is dominant activity - Anonymous (Pacific Fisherman, 1931)
The Depression really began to bite the fishing industry in the fall of 1931. “With fish available in quantities beyond the power of the established markets to absorb for the moment, fishermen took to peddling their catches through the country and small towns and consigning their fish direct to the Portland market. This practice had a demoralizing effect upon the business of established dealers.” (p.20)

Oregon fishery legislation is viewed variously by operators - Anonymous (Pacific Fisherman, 1931)
This article gives comments from Andrew J. Naterlin of Newport and Charles Feller of Marshfield on activities of the Oregon legislature affecting the fishing industry. Includes a photograph of A. J. Naterlin. Mr. Naterlin is quoted extensively, including these remarks, “Several good, worthy laws were enacted, such as closing the Salmon River to commercial fishing; placing a size limit on troll-caught salmon; and reverting the oyster beds of Yaquina Bay back to the people. Although the latter law will not have much effect on the oyster situation of Yaquina Bay for a few years, it openly condemns the present method of leasing the entire beds to one individual or company. Such a law will mean the saving of the oysters in Oregon.”

Preliminary Report of Oyster Investigations 1931 - McMillan, H.C. (1931)
In the summer of 1931, the author investigated Tillamook, Netarts, and Alsea bays to determine their suitability for oyster culture. He also investigated in more detail the state of oyster growing in Yaquina Bay, the only place in the state where oysters were grown commercially. The author urges that fully grown oysters in Yaquina Bay be harvested before they die. This is an unpublished manuscript that was distributed locally.

The Yaquina oyster beds of Oregon - Fasten, Nathan (The American Naturalist, 1931)
This article stirred up quite a fuss locally when it was published, mostly for stating the obvious. The author called attention to sedimentation problems in the bay and the problem of human sewage, which, at the time came from Toledo, Newport, and the small settlements at Yaquina and Oysterville. "The tides then carry such material back and forth over the entire river, making it possible for dangerous disease-producing organisms to be disseminated ... Inasmuch as the oysters from the Yaquina region are sent to various markets ... for human consumption, they may be regarded as a source of grave danger to human individuals."

The halibut fisheries of Oregon and California - Lokken, Harold (Pacific Fisherman, 1930)
Feature article. Describes the southern U.S. Pacific halibut fishery in 1930, a fishery in its extreme youth. “Rumors exist of unexplored banks located a hundred miles off the coast, but to date no one has made an attempt to find them.” Known banks were easily fished out, and fishers supplemented their catches with red cod, ling cod, sablefish and sole. “Of the ten vessels landing fish at Newport, four are owned in Portland and are operated exclusively from Oregon ports, while the remainder are Seattle-owned and operate on the Oregon banks during the summer months when the fish are most plentiful there.” (p.22) Describes difficulty crossing the bar in spring and fall and mentions the proposed jetty extension.

Refrigeration revolutionizes salmon fishery of the Oregon Coast - Anonymous (Pacific Fisherman, 1930)
Feature article. By 1930, the heyday of canneries on the Oregon Coast was over. A cannery operated on the Rogue River, and another at Bay City on Tillamook Bay. The rest were closed. “Fishing is no longer limited to bays and rivers, for off-shore fishing fleets work up and down the coast outside these inlets. . . Salmon taken off the Oregon coast are delivered to three markets – Coos Bay, Yaquina Bay and the Columbia River. This running of troll salmon to relatively distant ports for landing has been made possible by the development of refrigeration technique aboard these ocean fishing craft.” (p.25) Instead of canneries, coastal sites had small cold storage stations. The article includes a b+w photograph of the Columbia River Packers Association’s new fish receiving and mild curing station on Yaquina Bay, which the article states is the best on the coast. The article includes an extensive description of the facility.

1928 Pacific mild-cured salmon pack - Anonymous (Pacific Fisherman Yearbook, 1929)
The #2 issue of Pacific Fisherman is the Yearbook issue. The Burke Packing Company had plants up and down the Oregon Coast packing mild cured salmon, including plants on the Siletz, Yaquina and Umpqua Rivers. Statistics are in units of tierces (about 800 pounds) and are lumped in with statistics for Bay City, Cushman and Pacific City. Statistics are also given for the Newport Fish Co. on Yaquina Bay and the Morris Beck company at Florence, as well as for other coastal sites. These are the only canning statistics found for the Oregon Coast in 1928.

Fall salmon canning results in light pack - Anonymoous (Pacific Fisherman, 1929)
While the 1929 salmon in Puget Sound was large, this was not the case on the Oregon Coast, where low water was blamed for light returns. “The Siletz River had relatively the best salmon run on the Oregon coast from Yaquina Bay north to the Columbia, proving to be the best this stream has had in some years. Consisting principally of very large Silvers, the Siletz run was an important factor on the Oregon coast this fall. On Yaquina Bay the situation was rather disappointing, the catch dwindling long before the end of the season, Nov. 15. The run into this bay is never large, Yaquina deriving its salmon principally from the troll operations during the summer. As there are no canneries at this point, the fish go for fresh shipping, mild curing and freezing.” (p.17)
