| Notes | "The goal of this study was to investigate natural and anthropogenic influences on the estuarine settlement process of rockfishes, with a focus on black rockfish, S. melanops. 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. . |
