Page 220, Table 1.1-18. Sport Catch, in Numbers, of Salmon and Steelhead Trout 



in the Oregon Tributaries of the Columbia River, 1978- 

 90. 



This table lists catch estimates from ODFW's angler-returned salmon/steelhead catch 

 record. There are four errors. 



Paee 221, Table 1.1-19. Buoy 10 Sport Effort and Catch of Pacific Salmon, 1982- 



90. 



The data in this table is from Melcher and King (1991). There is one error. 



Page 222, Table 1.1-20. Current Status of Major Runs of Oregon Coastal River 



Salmonids. 



This table attempts to describe the status of Oregon's coastal salmon populations using 

 three categories; decreasing, no trend, and improving. The status for several 

 populations is labeled "unknown". Sources are Nicholas and Hankin (1989) (in list of 

 References this source is Nicholas and Haskin, 1989); ODFW 1982 (Coho Plan); and 

 ODFW 1985 (not listed in References). 



The following deficiencies were identified: 



The table's footnote states the table is laid out as in Nicholas and Hankin (1989) yet the 

 authors did not follow that format. 



The status for Yachats chinook is not decreasing but is unknown. 



The "notes" for Trask and Tillamook chinook are wrong. 



In the coho section reference is made to 36 stocks, perhaps this actually refers to the 36 

 chinook stocks previously described. 



The coho section is extremely deficient in that all stocks are lumped together and given 

 one status description~"decreasing." 



It is unknown to the reader which data in the table can be attributed to the three sources 

 listed at table's end. 



Finally, the table title is misleading in that it says "....Status of Major Runs " The 



runs described in this table number from 100 to 100,000 fish.
