Page 225, Table 1.1-21. Sport catch of Salmon and Steelhead Trout in Oregon 



Coastal Streams, 1978-90. 



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

 record. There are four errors. 



Page 226, Table 1.1-22. Oregon Ocean Salmon Commercial Troll Landings and 



Effort, 1991 (sic)-90. 



This table is derived from PFMC's "Review of 1990 Ocean Salmon Fisheries." There 

 are two errors. Additionally, the pink salmon catches for the 1970's uses two 5-year 

 averages when the actual pink landings by year were easily available on an adjacent 

 table in the PFMC report. Note the title says " 1991-90." The actual years are 1971- 

 90. 



Page 227, Table 1.1-23. Oregon Ocean Salmon Sport Catch and Effort, 1971-90. 



This table is derived from PFMC's 1990 report. There are no errors. As in the troll 

 table, pink salmon catches for the 1970' s uses two 5-year averages when the actual 

 pink catches by year were easily available on an adjacent table in the PFMC report. 

 Authors used a 5-year average for 1976-80 angler trips and divided it into actual year 

 by year catches to derive annual salmon/angler trip. The salmon/angler trip for these 

 years are erroneous and likely not even similar to actual. These statistics should not 

 have been shown. 



Page 228, Table 1.1-24. Indirect Causes of Mortality to Commercial and Sport 



Fisheries in Oregon for 1990. 



This table shows percentages and numbers of mortalities. The table headings do not 

 say mortalities of what. The title suggests mortalities to fisheries. Assuming it is fish, 

 three categories of indirect causes are listed. The authors refer the reader to the text 

 "for expluiation." 



1) Ocean Troll shaker loss - text explanation: 



'...an annual shaker morality (sic) value of between 30 and 40 percent 

 seems appropriate for Oregon. ' 



The table lists 1990 harvest as 582,000. This figure is the total sport and commercial 

 catch of Chinook and coho in Oregon ocean waters. Using the author's 30-40% that 

 "seems appropriate" results in mortality numbers of 174,400 to 232,500 salmon in 

 Oregon's ocean fisheries in 1990. PFMC estimates the 1990 commercial troll coho 

 loss at 54,300, 21 % of the total catch Goss plus landed) of 259,200. PFMC accounts 

 for troll hooking mortality in their catch-quota decision-making. There are no 

 estimates for commercial troll chinook or sport fishery losses in the PFMC process nor 

 does there seem to be a need to do this as losses from these fisheries are regarded as 

 low.
