Trap surveys conducted in 6 Oregon estuaries indicate that young-of-the-year (YOY; age 0) rockfish utilize ..multiple Oregon estuaries from spring through late fall... Catches were higher in the more developed estuaries, suggesting that the continued development of Oregon estuaries may not adversely affect the rockfish settlement process." (from the Abstract) This study is the first documentation of juvenile rockfish in the Nehalem, Siletz, Alsea and Coquille estuaries. . ER -
