    Description: In 1977 a new fishery began to develop off the coast ofsouthern California. Long gill nets, drifted near the surface in the deep offshore waters, were being used successfully in landing pelagic sharks, primarily threshers. Recent increases in the retail demand for fish had led wholesale buyers to look for new sources of fish protein. Shark meat looked promising to many buyers. Aided by the public's rekindled fascination for sharks, the timing seemed favorable for introducing sharks as food. Word spread that wholesalers were willing to pay a good price for sharks. This created what appeared to many commercial fishermen to be the beginning of a bonanza.The new shark fishery grew rapidly. The number of vesselsengaged in offshore drift gill net operations grew from about 15 in 1977 to approximately 230 by 1984.Fishery biologists have expressed concern over the rapidexpansion of the commercial shark fleet. Historically, sharkfisheries have tended to decline after their initial success, due principally to slow growth and reproductive rates which seem to characterize sharks as a group. Perhaps the new thresher shark fishery might also be subject to a similar decline.Biologists were not the only ones who looked on the newindustry with concern. Among sport fishermen and conservation groups, rumors of marlin, whales, and seals taken by the hundreds became commonplace.Concern spread among the traditional swordfish harpoonfleet that landings by drift gill nets might glut the swordfish markets, driving prices down to the point that harpooners could no longer compete. Some harpooners voiced fears that drift gill nets might even overfish the swordfish stocks, causing serious declines in the availability of fish.Some conservation groups sought to ban the use of all gillnets, feeling that gill nets are inherently indiscriminant in what they catch and that the benefits derived from their use is always over-shadowed by the waste of marine life resulting from their use.In September of 1980, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill2564 (Kapiloff), which directed the Department of Fish and Game to conduct a study of the drift gill net shark fishery. The purpose of the study was to determine what impact the use of drift gill nets might have on existing fisheries or upon other members of the local marine community such as whales, dolphins, and seals. The final report of that study "Pelagic Shark/Swordfish Drift Gill Net Fishery Management Information Document" was sent to the California Legislature in January 1983.In September 1982, the Legislature enacted Senate Bill 1573(Beverly), directing the Department of Fish and Game to continue monitoring the drift gill net fishery. It also directed, that a further study be conducted on the status of the thresher shark and swordfish resources off California and on the effects of the fishery on other resources. A report on this study would be prepared and delivered to the Legislature on or before January 1, 1985. The study was conducted. This is the report on that work. (77pp.)

    Description: State law provides for the initiation of a 1000-ton fishery for Pacific sardines, Sardinops sagax, when the spawning biomass of sardines reaches 20 000 short tons.Data from ichthyoplankton surveys, an aerial spotter index, sea survey cruises, the mackerel fishery, and the live bait fishery are discussed as indicators of the relative abundance of sardines compared to previous years. It appears the spawning biomass of the northern subpopulation of Pacific sardine remains below 20 000 tons. A proposedsurvey plan is described for determining the relative magnitude of the sardine spawning biomass on an annual basis. Legislation is discussed which was passed in 1984 and pertains to the sardine resource. (23pp.)

    Description: The jack mackerel, Trachurus symmetricus, resource off thewest coast of North America is known to be large and widelydistributed. The spawning biomass is estimated to be 2.1 to 4.8 million tons based upon abundance of jack mackerel eggs collected at sea. The distribution extends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Gulf of Tehuantepec, off the coast of southern Mexico, and as far as 1,500 miles seaward. Within this range lies an area of maximum density which extends from Point Conception to central Baja California.Jack mackerel biological data has not been processed veryrapidly due to higher priorities for analysis of sardine andPacific mackerel data, and the apparent healthy condition ofthis resource. The California Department of Fish and Gameinitiated several projects in 1972 to resolve unanswered biological questions. (14pp.)

    Description: The California yellowtail, Seriola dorsalis, is a highlyfavored sport fish and a minor commercial species. Since1954 commercial landings have been limited by demand, and thesport catch has been about three times the number of fishcaught by commercial fishermen.Recreational fishing for yellowtail in southernCalifornia waters is almost entirely dependent on annualmigrants from central and northern Baja California. The resource is presently healthy but reduced catches off California could be the result of an expanded catch off Mexico. (19pp.)

    Description: Investigation of Pacific oyster mortalities was carriedout over a six-year period in major northern and centralCalifornia oyster rearing areas. Effort was directed towarddefining areas of high oyster mortality and determiningpossible etiologies of observed losses through monthly monitoring and sampling of experimental and commercial oyster populations in Morro Bay, Elkhorn Slough, Drakes Estero, Tomales Bay and Humboldt Bay.Hydrographic data was collected in all areas and a two yearstudy of phytoplankton and water quality in Humboldt Baywas initiated to observe relationships with oyster mortalitypatterns.Research undertaken to develop methods to alleviate losses among Pacific oyster populations included an oyster seed source study, investigation of optimal oyster culturingtechniques and preliminary efforts to develop a mortalityresistant strain of oysters in Humboldt Bay. The cause ofmortality among Pacific oyster populations in Humboldt Bayremains uncertain but a bacterial etiology correlated withelevated water temperatures is suspected. The best methodof circumvention of losses appears to be the culturing of"domestic" seed sources on racks. (55pp.)

    Description: This report discusses in detail findings and observationsof 5 years of research on the sea otter population and itsrelationship to the nearshore marine environment in California. Initial efforts were directed at providing some relief to the commercial abalone fishery in the Cambria - Point Estero area north of Morro Bay. This fishery has subsequently collapsed along with other commercial and sport abalone and sport crab fisheries throughout the sea otter's range due to continued sea otter foraging. Capturing, tagging and translocation studies, censusing studies, examination of sea otter remains, habitat surveys, food habits observations and studies on otters in captivity provide a broad base of information on the expandingsea otter population in California and its effects onresources utilized by man. Recommendations for sea ottermanagement consistent with esthetic, recreational, and commercial uses of marine resources are included in this report. (95pp.)

    Description: Sea otter foraging along Monterey Bay beaches and at Atascadero State Beach has precluded recreational Pismo clam fisheries at six major clamming beaches. Outside the sea otter's foraging range Pismo clam stocks are yielding good catches; apparently the stringent controls on the recreational fishery is adequate to maintain the State's Pismo clam stocks. Clammer interviews at Orange and Los Angeles County beaches and at beaches near Pismo Beach and Morro Bay and in Monterey Bay revealed the clam stocks to be on a healthy, sustainable yield basis. Exceptionallylarge numbers of small 1.5 to 3.5 inch Pismo clams were reported at all clam beaches surveyed north of Pt. Conception indicating good year class survival in recent years. Sea otters forage dense Pismo clam beds by moving along a "front", progressively foraging from one beach to the next, reducing the clams to low levels before moving on. Some sea otters continue to forage throughout the areas previously depleted by the larger aggregate moving northward, thus the large numbers of sublegal clamsin the 1.5 to 3.5 inch size group in these intertidal and shallow subtidal areas are not expected to reach legal size in numbers sufficient to develop a recreational fishery. In Monterey Bay about 60,000 Pismo clams were removed or killed by human activity in the April 1974 to March 1975 period. A rough estimate of the Pismo clams consumed by sea otters during this same period in Monterey Bay is over 500,000 clams. (51pp.)

    Description: Speckled scallops, Argopecten circularis (Sowerby, 1835), were sampled at Agua Hedionda Lagoon, Carlsbad, San Diego County from March 1984 to October 1986, to obtain basic life history data. Monthly samples of scallops were collected, measured, and released to obtain length frequency data for estimates of growth, life span, and spawning period. Subsamples of scallops were collected for determination of gonadal-somatic and adductor muscle-somatic indices.In 1984 large concentrations of speckled scallops were found on the sand-silt bottom of the lagoon, closely associated with eelgrass, Zostra marina. During the course of the study the numbers of scallops declined, until their virtual disappearance at the end of 1986. Monthly length frequency plots from 24,375 scallop measurements indicate that this is a rapidly growing species with a short life span. Gonadal- and adductor muscle-somatic indices from subsamples of 1,714 scallops indicate first spawning at age one and a relationship between temperature and spawning.Based on this study management recommendations are made for the speckled scallop.

    Description: Nearly 49,000 metric tons (MT) of anchovies were taken during the 1978-79 season, followed by 32,390 MT in 1979-80, 60,678 MT in 1980-81 and 45,150 MT in 1981-82. A total of 14,076 fish was sampled during the four seasons for age, length and sex. The fishery during the four seasons consisted mainly of young-of-the-year and age groups I and II fish. The 1978 and 1979 yr classes comprised the major share of the catch. Seasonal mean lengths varied from 112 mm standard length (SL) in the 1979-80 season to 122 mm SL for the 1981-82 season. Female to male sex ratios ranged from 1.17:l (1978-79 season) to 1.59:l (1979-80 season). (28pp.)

    Description: Red abalone, Haliotis rufescens, were collected at Johnsons Lee, Santa Rosa Island, in the summers of 1978 through 1982, and in 1984, to obtain data for determining various fishery population parameters. Annual visits to the study site were made at yearly intervals to simplify growth calculations.During the first four visits, 2145 red abalones were tagged,measured, and replaced. Shell damage, soft tissue injuries, and causes of mortality were noted. The method of tagging isdescribed.Recovery of first tagged abalone after one year was approximately 30%. Analysis of variance of the annual samples indicated that the samples were, with one exception, not different. Summaries are presented of the number of abalone collected and tagged by year, frequencies of shell damage, soft tissue injury, predatory sponge infestation, and total mortality. Appendices include a listing of the raw size data and various codes for each tagged abalone. (56pp.)

    Description: An extensive study of fishing activity stemming from privately-owned boats was conducted during 1981 in order to determine the magnitude and impact of this segment of southern California's marine sport fishery. Anglers and divers returning from fishing trips were interviewed at launch ramps, boat hoists, and boat-rental facilities from Pt. Conception to the Mexican border. Information on fishing catch and effort was used to calculate statistical estimatesof total catch, total effort, catch of preferred sportfish species, and compliance rates for legal minimumsize limits.An estimated 1,013,000 organisms were landed during355,000 fishing trips. The major components of thisyear's catch were 1) Pacific mackerel, Scomber japonicus, 231,000 landed; 2) Pacific bonito, Sarda chiliensis, 157,000 landed; 3) white croaker, Genyonemus lineatus, 148,000 landed; and 4) rockfish, Sebastes spp., 142,000 landed. These fishes contributed two-thirds of the total catch.This year anglers were favored by mild weather andthe summertime appearance of migratory game fishes,resulting in higher than usual effort levels andabove average catch rates for favored game species.

    Description: The catch landed and effort expended by private-boatsport fishermen was studied in Los Angeles Countybetween October and December 1980, in order todetermine the impact of one segment of the sportfishery on local marine resources. Fishermenreturning from fishing trips were interviewed atlaunch ramps, hoists, and boat rental facilities.This report contains quantitative data and statisticalestimates of total effort, total catch, catch ofpreferred species, and length frequencies for thosespecies whose catches are regulated by minimum sizelimits.An estimated 94,000 organisms were landed by 22,000anglers and 1,200 divers. The major components of thecatch were Pacific mackerel, Scomber japonicus, 29,000landed; white croaker, Genyonemus lineatus, 17,500landed; and Pacific bonito, Sarda chiliensis, 11,500landed. These three species comprised two-thirds ofthe total catch.Anglers' compliance with size limit regulations wasvariable. Nearly 80% of all measured bass, Paralabraxspp., were legal size, but only 50% of the Californiahalibut, Paralichthys californicus, were legal size.Divers showed much better compliance with the sizelimit regulations: 96% of all California spinylobsters, Panulirus interruptus, were legal size.

    Description: Anglers frequently violate sport fishing regulations out ofignorance, by mistake, or by deliberate action. To determinewhether unfamiliarity with the regulations plays a major part in this problem, we asked anglers on privately-owned,trailerable boats at launch ramps and boat hoists a series of questions which tested their knowledge of the regulations.We found that on any winter weekend about 30% of the anglerson private-boats knew none of the size limits, 50% knew atleast three of the six size limits, and 4% knew all of thesize limits. Only about 25% of the anglers kept a copy ofthe regulations on their boats for reference when fishing.The results of the survey indicate that greater effort mustbe expended to familiarize sport fishermen with the fishingregulations.

This studypresents quantitative data and statistical estimates ofeffort, total catch, catch of preferred sport fishspecies, and length frequencies of particular specieslanded by private boat sport fishermen. An assessment ofsport fishermen's compliance with current fishingregulations is included along with an estimate of thenumber of anglers who returned empty-handed.Catch composition and effort levels varied considerablyamong the five counties sampled, reflecting differencesin water temperature, offshore habitat, and preferencesfor particular species by local fishermen. A comparisonof this year's results with those of last year showedthat angler effort dropped 16% and angler catch dropped15%, while diver effort and catch dropped 18% and 9%respectively. This reduction is attributed to the recordamounts of rainfall in southern California which severelycurtailed fishing activity during four months of the year. (105pp.)

    Description: The catch landed and effort expended by private-boatsport fishermen were studied from July, 1975 throughJune, 1976, in order to determine the magnitude andimpact of one segment of the marine sport fishery insouthern California. Fishermen returning from afishing trip were interviewed at launch ramps, boathoists, and boat rental locations from Pt. Conceptionto the Mexican border. This report presentsquantitative data and statistical estimates of totaleffort, total catch, catch of preferred sport fishspecies, and length-frequencies of size-regulatedspecies.An estimated 944,000 organisms were landed by 315,000anglers and 16,500 divers. A large variety of specieswas landed, but six species contributed over one-halfof the catch. Divers landed very few sublegalorganisms, but anglers took large numbers of sublegalsize fish.

    Description: The sampling plan applied to the northern anchovy, Engraulis mordax, reduction fishery catch was reviewed to determine the effects on age composition estimates which would be caused by decreasing the sample size per stratum of catch. Age composition estimates for samples of 5, 10, and 15 per stratum were computer calculated using the sampling plan program and then compared with estimates for the standard sample of 30 from the same strata. As the sample size decreased the variances of the age composition statistics greatly increased. Errors were detected in the computer program and the variance equation have been corrected. (30pp.)

    Description: Fishermen on piers and privately-owned boats in southernCalifornia were surveyed to determine their ability toidentify (by common name) 18 of the more commonly caughtsportfish. Anglers were shown color photographs of the fishand asked to identify them. Most people were not able toidentify more than 5 or 6 species correctly. The numberof incorrect responses (calling one species by another'sname, or using a non-recommended common name) was nothigh. Instead, it was the level of non-response (thefisherman had no idea what the species was) that wassurprisingly high.The results of the survey indicate that anglers are notfamiliar with the names of the fish they are most likelyto catch. This has serious implications concerning ourfishery management programs which depend on anglers'compliance with fishing regulations. The effectivenessof the programs depends in part on anglers being ableto recognize regulated species when encountered. (30pp.)

    Description: Estimates of the total yearly catch from the partyboat fishery have been collected and published on a routine basis since 1935. Important data relating to the size and age composition of this segment of the marine sportfishery have been lacking. As a consequence, a southern California partyboat sampling study was initiated on April 1, 1975. The main objective of this sampling is to identify and measure all fishes taken by sportsmen on partyboatswith primary emphasis given to California barracuda, Sphyraena argentea; yellowtail, Seriola dorsalis; white seabass, Cynoscion nobilis; and rockfishes, Sebastes spp. (22pp.)

    Description: Two survey methods (postcard and interview) for generating marine fish catch and effort estimates for privateboats were field tested at Oceanside, California duringMay and June of 1974. Sampling days were pre-assigned toweekday and weekend strata. The postcard survey was shownto produce biased estimates. Causes of the various biasesare discussed. The interview survey provided backgrounddata to test for biases in the postcard survey andbetween marina an launch ramp interview areas. (31pp.)

    Description: This report on the status of major southern California marine sport fish species, together with management recommendations, is based on analyses of catch and size composition data, which were collected on board Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessels (CPFV) from 1985 through1987. The project was designed to determine the status of those fishes that support the CPFV industry, and to make management recommendations when deemed necessary.We collected and analyzed data based on random, stratified, on-board sampling of weekday (excluding holidays), open CPFV's on a year-round basis. We sampled 1/2-day, 3/4-day, and full-day type trips at a level of 5%. The survey area extended from below the United States-Mexicanborder to Point Arguello. Catch estimates were extrapolated to include weekday as well as weekend and holiday, open and chartered CPFV's.We sampled 736 CPFV trips in 1985, 650 in 1986, and 631 in 1987. We encountered 180 species of fishes, including 49 species of rockfishes. We performed detailed analyses on 14 non-rockfish species and 12 rockfish species, as well as all fishes as a group and all rockfishes as a group.We found a moderate increase in total catch of combined fish species between this study and one in the mid-1970's, due primarily to sizeable increases in catches of Pacific mackerel, kelp bass, barred sand bass,and barracuda. However, we also found that there has been more than a 50% decline in the CPFV rockfish catches, due primarily to substantial decreases in catches of bocaccio, chilipepper, and olive rockfish. We have recommended that the current 15-rockfish bag limit regulation be reduced to a 10-rockfish bag limit, and that additional and equitable conservation measures also be implemented on the commercial rockfish fishery.

    Description: In order to initiate a fishery for the Pacific mackerel, Scomber japonicus, it is required that the spawning biomass be determined to have reached 10,000 short tons. Tag and recovery data and jack mackerel, Trachurus symmetricus, fishery data are analyzed for evidence of an increase in Pacific mackerel population size. The present level of the spawning population of Pacific mackerel, although larger than in recent years, is determined to fall short of the 10,000 tons needed to initiate a fishery. (24pp.)

    Description: This is the second annual report on the status of the spawning population of the Pacific mackerel as required by Section 8388.3 of the Fish and Game Code.During 1973 and early 1974, several methods of determining population size were used to estimate the spawning population size of Pacific mackerel stocks north of Point Eugenia, Baja California. The estimated Pacific mackerel spawning population obtained by tagging procedures was 2,025 tons. Two alternate spawning biomass estimates also were obtained using partyboat catches fitted to regressionlines. The estimates derived by these alternate methodsare 4,675 tons, and 8,380 tons.All 1974 estimates are below the 10,000 ton spawning population minimum set in Section 8388.3 of the Fish and Game Code and thus no harvest under Section 8388.5 of the Fish and Game Code could be allowed.

    Description: The catch landed and effort expended by private-boatsport fishermen were studied in southern Californiabetween January and March 1981, in order to determinethe impact of one segment of the sport fishery on localmarine resources. Fishermen returning from fishing tripswere interviewed at launch ramps, hoists, and boat rentalfacilities. This report contains quantitative data andstatistical estimates of total effort, total catch, catchof preferred species, and length frequencies for thosespecies whose catches are regulated by minimum size limits.An estimated 139,000 organisms were landed by 45,000anglers and 1,900 divers. The major components of thecatch were Pacific mackerel, Scomber japonicus, 29,000landed; white croaker, Genyonemus lineatus, 27,000 landed;and Pacific bonito, Sarda chiliensis, 13,000 landed. These three species comprised one-half of the total catch.Anglers' compliance with size limit regulations was variable. Approximately 87% of all measured bass,Paralabrax spp., were legal size, but only 60% of theCalifornia halibut, Paralichthys californicus, were legalsize. Divers showed much better compliance with the sizelimit regulations: 96% of all red abalone, Haliotisrufescens, were legal size. (Document has 24 pages)

Thesespecies contributed 70% of the total catch.Anglers' compliance with size limit regulations was variable. Approximately 89% of all measured bass were legal size. The proportion of legal size California halibut, Paralichthys californicus, rose from 60% last quarter to 79% this quarter. However, the percent of legal size California barracuda, Sphyraena argentea, was very low, 58%. Divers' compliance with minimum size limits dropped slightly: abalone, Haliotis spp., averaged 89% legal. (Document has 31 pages)

    Description: Pacific bonito, Sarda chiliensis, have been fished inCalifornia waters since at least the beginning of this century. Commercial landings between 1916 and 1971 varied widely, with a low of 128,000 lbs in 1956 and a high of 21.2 million lbs in 1967 (Table 1). The catch is partly dependent upon availability, but it is strongly influenced by economicfactors.The size and condition of the resource is unknown at present although it appears that the catch could be substantiallyincreased without damage to the resource.

    Description: Management of Pacific bonito in California is examined in this Management Information Document by a State-Federal team of scientists.Abundance of Pacific bonito in southern California has fallen dramatically between the 1963-1969 period and the 1974-1977 period. Since 1976 the commercia1 fleet has found few large fish in southern California, and has caught fish in the size range of 15 to 57 cm (1.2 to 4.7 pounds). This fact, coupled with the low abundance indices, point out the need for a more active management regime.To develop management measures for the California bonitofishery both a surplus yield analysis and a yield-per-recruit analysis were performed. A maximum sustained yield of 10,000 short tons was estimated for the fishery in southern California, while the whole fishery, including Baja California, has an estimated MSY of 13,000 tons. In order to achieve this level of catch, however, the stock abundance must be increased by a factor of five.Yield-per-recruit considerations suggest that a minimumsize limit in the commercial fishery has two important effects. A three-pound size limit could result in a slight increase in yield-per-recruit. If the size limit is increased to 5 or 7.5 lbs, the yield-per-recruit would fall significantly. Offsetting the effect on yield-per-recruit, however, would be a substantial increase in average amount of spawning per recruit which should result in a proportional increase in recruitment. With the current depressed stock abundance both a reduced annual take anda minimum size limit on commercial catch would confer substantial benefits in the form of an increase in the future stock size.After considering seven different types of managementmeasures, the team finds that three types -- an annual commercial catch quota, a commercial size limit, and a recreational bag limit -- appear desirable.Re-establishment of the stock in southern California wasthe major consideration in this evaluation because the stock is currently depressed. All segments of the fishery will benefit from a more abundant resource. The difficult issues for policy, however, concern the rate of rebuilding, the degree of risk that is acceptable, and the distribution of benefits among user groups. By judicious choice among the options discussed here, a variety of positions can be established with respect to these issues. The greater the size limit, for instance, the more benefit is provided the recreational sector while difficulties are imposed upon commercial fishermen. The higher the quotas adopted, theslower the stock rebuilding and the greater the risk of continued stock depletion. A final reconciliation of the management options involves social, political and legal considerations which must be thoroughly incorporated by decision-makers before adoption of a management plan.

    Description: Anglers frequently violate sport fishing regulations outof ignorance, by mistake, or by deliberate action. Todetermine whether unfamiliarity with the regulations playsa major part in this problem, we asked pier fishermen aseries of questions which tested their knowledge of theregulations.We discovered that on any given weekday, only 7% of theanglers on a pier kept a copy of the regulations withthem for reference. The remaining fishermen had to dependupon memory for the rules; however, only 31% of the anglersknew three or more of those rules.Pier anglers are not well-enough informed to follow thesize limit regulations. However, anglers on piers do notoften catch size-regulated fish . Unless these anglersengage in another type of fishing (such as from a boat)they will not significantly detract from the success offishery management programs for size-regulated fish species. (8pp.)

    Description: California spiny lobsters, Panulirus interruptus, are the object of intense fisheries prosecuted by both commercial and sport fishermen in California. Recent evidence indicates that the resource may be declining, and an investigation of the population dynamics is needed. It is recommended that the investigation assess the magnitude of the fishery, identify population units and investigate the adequacy of existing gear regulations. (14pp.)

    Description: The California barracuda, Sphyraena argentea, has beenfished commercially for over 70 years. Peak landings weremade during the early 1920's and have since declined to anincidental level. The present interest in barracuda centersaround its desirability as a game species.Recent estimates of barracuda abundance indicate thepopulation is at a low level and in need of increasedmanagement efforts.

    Description: The Pacific sardine fishery has declined from a catch ofalmost 8 hundred-thousand tons in the nineteen thirties torelative insignificance at present. This decline was primarilydue to the decline of the northern subpopulation.Scientists feel that the only remedial measure which wouldbe effective is a complete ban on sardine fishing in California and northern Baja California.

    Description: The spawning biomass of Pacific herring, Clupea harenguspallasii was estimated for Tomales Bay and San FranciscoBay during the 1973-74 and 1974-75 spawning seasons. Estimates involve determining numbers of eggs spawned and converting this figure to tons of herring.Age composition of the catch indicates the populations ofboth bays are stable.The spawning biomass was estimated at 6,559 tons and 4,734tons in Tomales Bay for the 1973-74 and 1974-75 seasons,respectively. Spawning biomass estimates for San FranciscoBay were 6,127 tons and 19,465 tons for the 1973-74 and 1974-75 seasons, respectively. (46pp.)

    Description: California landings of bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, were sampled for age and size composition from 1963 through 1969. Scales were used to determine the age.Landings primarily consisted of 1- and 2-year old fish. The maximum age found was 6 years old. Strong year-classes of 1960 and 1961 combined to produce high catches in 1962 and 1963. Two year old fish appear to arrive in our fishery earlier than 1-year olds. (44pp.)

    Description: Jack mackerel landings in southern California during the 1972-73 to 1983-84 seasons indicate successful year classes in 1974, 1976, 1978, and 1980, each contributing over 150 million fish to the fishery. These alternated with weak year classes in 1973, 1975, 1977, 1979, and 1981, each contributing less than 60 million fish. A majority of the fish were caught as one- and two-year-olds and were less than 300 mm in length. (45pp.)
