As used in the commercial fishing laws, unless the context requires otherwise, “conservation” means providing for the utilization and management of the food fish of Oregon to protect the ultimate supply for present and future generations, preventing waste and implementing a sound management program for sustained economic, recreational and aesthetic benefits. [1971 c.187 §5; 1973 c.271 §1]
