^aFigures represent only partial landings made by the recreational fishery in Oregon. Figures are estimates, based on interviews and samples, of the landings made by the recreational charter vessels and private boats operating out of the ports of Astoria, Garibaldi, Pacific City, Depoe Bay, Newport, Florence, Winchester Bay, Coos Bay, and Brookings during the months from May through September.

^bLanded weights (metric tons) for 1992 are based on the average weights observed in 1991 samples, because the appropriate estimates were not available for 1992 sample information.
