Abstract This report summarizes program progress in FY 1972. Activities were directed almost entirely toward the groundfish survey of the continental shelf off Oregon between the Columbia River and Cape Blanco. Since the area was too large to be surveyed in one cruise, it will be surveyed over a two year period. The first phase covered the area between the Columbia River and Yaquina Head. Objectives of the survey were to obtain estimates of biomass of fishes occupying the continental shelf with particular emphasis on flatfish and to develop techniques of indexing year class strength of flatfishes important to the commercial fishery prior to their recruitment to the fishery.
