  SURVEY 
  OF 
  FISHING 
  GROUNDS, 
  1914. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  other 
  hand, 
  throughout 
  practically 
  the 
  entire 
  reach 
  of 
  the 
  

   Oregon 
  coast, 
  there 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  an 
  abundance 
  of 
  the 
  smaller 
  flatfishes, 
  

   some 
  of 
  which 
  arc 
  food 
  fishes 
  of 
  great 
  excollencc. 
  The 
  red 
  rock-cod 
  

   and 
  doubtless 
  black 
  cod 
  occur 
  in 
  great 
  abundance. 
  Dogfishes 
  are 
  so 
  

   numerous 
  at 
  times 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  nuisance. 
  

  

  Scallops 
  apparently 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  over 
  a 
  wide 
  range 
  of 
  territory 
  

   and 
  in 
  some 
  places 
  probably 
  form 
  beds 
  thickly 
  enough 
  populated 
  to 
  

   warrant 
  fishing, 
  though 
  the 
  depth 
  in 
  which 
  they 
  lie 
  may 
  militate 
  

   against 
  taking 
  them 
  commercially. 
  

  

  In 
  conclusion, 
  the 
  harbor 
  and 
  market 
  facilities, 
  bait 
  supplies, 
  

   transportation, 
  and 
  cold 
  storage 
  are 
  perhaps 
  too 
  limited 
  and 
  uncertain 
  

   to 
  enable 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  Oregon 
  coast 
  ports 
  to 
  become 
  fishing 
  centers 
  of 
  

   any 
  great 
  consequence 
  under 
  present 
  conditions. 
  The 
  limitation 
  of 
  

   the 
  fishing 
  season 
  by 
  weather 
  conditions 
  is 
  possibly 
  the 
  greatest 
  

   handicap 
  in 
  competition 
  with 
  Seattle 
  and 
  its 
  proximity 
  to 
  the 
  vast, 
  

   year-round 
  Alaska 
  fishery 
  resources. 
  No 
  doubt 
  the 
  Newport 
  Bank 
  

   will 
  provide 
  a 
  valuable 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  available 
  supply 
  of 
  halibut, 
  

   and 
  the 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  Oregon 
  coastal 
  region 
  will 
  furnish 
  a 
  future 
  

   source 
  of 
  supply 
  of 
  flounders, 
  sole, 
  black 
  cod, 
  and 
  red 
  rockfish, 
  which 
  

   at 
  present 
  find 
  but 
  a 
  limited 
  market, 
  if 
  any.
