In 2025, the last full year of PacFIN data, West Coast commercial fishermen landed 232.6 thousand pounds of basket cockle worth $398.2 thousand, averaging $1.71 per pound. Ex-vessel value fell 2% from 2024, and average price per pound fell 9%. Ranked by total catch value, basket cockle is 44th among the 263 species and species groups reported to PacFIN and tracked by Cormorant.
Washington landings of basket cockle total less than 1% of ex-vessel value (or are confidential) and are not charted.
Basket cockle is landed only in Oregon, in 3 of the 19 PacFIN port areas, 2 of them confidential, with reported landings only at Tillamook and confidential landings as far south as Coos Bay. Tillamook accounted for virtually all reported value.
Port areas ranked by ex-vessel value with landed weight and price per pound.
2 port areas had only confidential basket cockle data and are excluded from these rankings.
Basket cockle landings are highly seasonal: 79% of reported 2025 landed pounds came in March–May, peaking in April.
7 months have only confidential basket cockle landings and are shown as empty.
Basket cockle is landed entirely with other gear (100% of its 2025 West Coast ex-vessel value, based on PacFIN gear-group landings).
