Sogard and Berkeley: Movement, growth, and survival of Anoptopoma fimbria off Oregon 
239 
TaWe 3 
Results of logistic regressions for comparing recapture rates of small (<55 cm in fork length [FL]), medium (55-65 
cm FL), and large (>65 cm FL) sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) initially captured off Newport, Oregon, in depth 
zones 2 (mean depth: 354 m) and 3 (mean depth; 1154 m) at warm (mean 16.4°C) and cool (mean 14.5°C) surface 
temperatures for tagging set 2 (September 2003 and May 2004).

Initial size distributions as a percentage of the total number of fish for 
tagged and recaptured sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) captured in slope wa¬ 
ters off Newport, Oregon, in September 2003 and May 2004 (tagging set 2). 
For this tagging set, 2 discrete depth zones were targeted for initial captures: 
(A) depth zone 2 (327-366 m) and (B) depth zone 3 (1112-1225 m). 
Large-scale movements 
For both sets of tagging combined, 2566 recaptured 
fish had sufficient location information to categorize 
them as dispersers or resident fish (recaptured >200 
km or <200 km from the tagging location, respective¬ 
ly). Dispersers composed only 9% of these fish. Of the 
fish whose sex was reported, there was a marginal but
