Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 2 - DISPOSAL OF WILDLIFE AND EQUIPMENT SEIZED OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED › Section 635-002-0030 - Sale of Seized Fish or Shellfish

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
In accordance with ORS
				506.690, all food fish and
				shellfish taken by or in possession of any person in violation of the
				commercial fishing laws or regulations of the Commission shall be seized. To
				prevent spoilage, the fish so seized and not required as evidence shall be
				sold. The officer undertaking the sale shall, if reasonable and practical,
				obtain more than one bid price for the seized fish to insure the price paid is
				the market value of the fish at the time of seizure. Market value as used in
				subsection (3) of ORS
				506.690 and this regulation
				means the price at fisherman or producer level. If it is not practical to sell
				seized fish to prevent spoilage, such fish may be provided for food purposes,
				free gratis to any state, county, or other public institution. Any food fish or
				shellfish seized and determined as unsuitable for human consumption may be
				destroyed.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
For the purposes of ORS
				508.730, the following criteria
				shall be used in determining when all natural and artificial fish production
				needs of the state have been met:
(1)
			 General limitations -- Salmon eggs will not be declared surplus unless and
			 until the capacities of all public hatchery facilities contributing fish for
			 release in Oregon waters, including coastal streams and Columbia River and
			 tributaries, have been filled, and approved rehabilitation and enhancement
			 programs, including Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program, have been provided
			 for. However, the Department recognizes that certain constraints may limit
			 hatchery production to less than full capacity, including available finances,
			 legislative direction, Commission policy, and status of stream/water body
			 management plans. The Department may not be able to locate, determine, or
			 accommodate all areas of need at any one time.
(2) Biological limitations -- Biological
			 factors which limit numbers of salmon eggs that can be utilized in meeting
			 state needs are:
(a) Fish carrying capacity
			 of a given stream or water body;
(b) Probability of disease transfer to
			 naturally produced stocks;
(c)
			 Maintenance of genetic integrity or compatibility of stocks;
(d) Impacts of other species of
			 fish.

			 Subpart H (61FR34572, July 2, 1996, as amended to incorporate the standards in
			 the Pacific Fishery Management Council referenced document). Therefore, persons
			 must consult the Pacific Fishery Management Council referenced document and
			 Federal Regulations in addition to Division 003 to determine all applicable
			 troll salmon fishing requirements. A copy of the Pacific Fishery Management
			 Council referenced document and the Federal Regulations may be obtained by
			 contacting the Pacific Fishery Management Council at
www.pcouncil.org
or at 7700 NE
			 Ambassador Place, Suite 101, Portland, OR 97220-1384.
(3) To the extent not preempted by Federal
			 law, these regulations apply within the State of Oregon's Fisheries
			 Conservation Zone (out to fifty miles from shore).

(2) The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
			 Title 50, Part 660, Subpart H, provides requirements for commercial salmon
			 fishing in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast. However, additional
			 regulations may be promulgated subsequently, and these supersede, to the extent
			 of any inconsistency, the Code of Federal Regulations.
(3) This rule contains requirements which
			 modify commercial salmon fishing regulations off the Oregon coast. The
			 following modifications are organized in sections that apply to the ocean
			 commercial salmon fishery in general and within management zones established by
			 the Pacific Fishery Management Council and enacted by Federal Regulations (CFR,
			 Title 50, Part 660, Subpart H).
(4)

			 Notification shall include the vessel name, port where delivery will be made,
			 approximate number of salmon (by species) on board, and estimated time of
			 arrival.
(5) A rectangular area

			 to Pyramid Rock (45¼29'48" N. Lat.) inside the 15 fathom depth
			 contour.
(6) Humbug Mountain,
			 Oregon, to Humboldt South Jetty: When the fishery is closed north of the
			 Oregon/California border and open to the south, vessels with fish on board
			 taken in the open area may request authorization to temporarily moor in
			 Brookings, Oregon, prior to landing in California. Such vessels shall first
			 notify the Chetco River Coast Guard Station via VHF Channel 22A between the
			 hours of 0500 and 2200. Proper notification shall include the vessel name,
			 number of fish on board, and estimated time of arrival.
