| Notes | This report covers a 3-year period. It includes a growth survey of gaper clams to establish normal growth patterns, a summary of a transplantation of softshell clams into Siuslaw Bay, and the results of crab tagging to determine movement/migration patterns. This report also has research on personal-use fisheries for razor clams, including number and rate of success of clam diggers, as well as calculations on clam wastage. Finally, it has the initial findings of exploratory dives for rock scallop and red abalone off the Oregon Coast. |
