| Notes | This paper describes a pilot project to develop a recruitment index for rockfish. Rockfish bear live young in the winter. "The larvae live in the plankton for three to five months before settling to the benthos, usually near some sort of structure." Juvenile rockfish live in estuaries before migrating to the ocean. For this study, beach seines were conducted in the summer of 2000. Boiler Bay had the most rockfish, followed by Yaquiina Bay. Shiner perch were the most abundant juvenile fish (5610) in Yaquina Bay. Black rockfish were the most abundant rockfish (402), and some copper rockfish (18) were also caught. |
