| Notes | The Fish Commission of Oregon issued six permits for private chum salmon hatcheries since the state legislature in its 1971 session authorized such development. Design of private chum hatcheries in Oregon is primarily based on studies conducted by Oregon State University (OSU) at its Swanson Aquaculture Research Station located on Whiskey Creek, tributary to Netarts Bay in Tillammook County. This facility currently serves as the only source within Oregon of chum eggs for private hatcheries. To date, private operators have released relatively small numbers of chum fry due to the limited supply of spawn for their use. However, a good return of adult chum to Whiskey Creek in the fall of 1974 allowed the state to provide private operator with over 2.0 million eggs that year. |
