Note "Letters and newspaper articles concerning the low quantity and poor
quality of Dungeness crabs in Nehalem Bay have been frequently received by
the Oregon Fish Commission. Popular opinion usually places the blame for
the lack of legal-sized bay crabs in the Nehalem estuary upon the adjacent
commercial crab fisheries,
A sampling program was initiated by Oregon Fish Commission personnel to evaluate crab abundance. This report summarizes the information obtained
in Nehalem Bay (Figure 1) during three sampling periods, Nay 17-18, July
19-21, and August 8-10, 1966. Data from Yaquina and Netarts bays are included
for comparative purposes." (Introduction)
The report includes a hand-drawn map of Nehalem Bay showing the area sampled.
