January 1958 COMMERCIAL FISHERIES REVIEW 43 Oregon FISHERIES RESEARCH LABORATORY ESTABLISHED: The establishment of an Oregon Fish Commission fisheries research laboratory at La Grande, Ore., was announced on November 19, 1957. The expansion of the Fish Commission's program in eastern Oregon has been made possible through cooperation of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service with funds allocated under the Columbia River fisheries development program. Up until 1956, the program had been limited to Columbia River tributaries below McNary Dam. Two fishery research biologists will be head- quartered at the new laboratory. A five-phase program for systematic study of Oregon streams of the upper Co- lumbia River system has been outlined by the Fish Commission. (1) Inventory of all existing or potential salmon-producing streams in the area ,to become familiar with physical characteristics of the streams and to learn what species are present-- now under way. (2) Field surveys to determine where various stream improve- ments are needed. (3) Introduction of selected species of salmon into barren or underutilized streams by means of egg plantings or fish transfers. (4) Search for potential new hatchery sites. (5) Appraisal of stream improvement projects after projects have been completed. The Fish Commission has also received additional funds under the Columbia River development program for expanded biological surveys on the Willamette Riv- er system. These surveys will be continued from the Fish Commission research headquarters at Clackamas.
