Data in this quarterly report are subdivided into three categories: primarily by five geographical areas; secondarily by fishing modes and gear types within each area; and finally by catch definition for each area, mode, and gear type. Tables are presented for these categories, each with three sections: sampled effort, ranked catch, and catch-per-unit,-effort (CPUE). Also, within each area, length-frequency histograms and tables are presented for select species. 1/ Narine R,esonrces Administrative Reprt No / Xarine Resources Division, So.

11 INTRODUCTION The California Department of Fish and Game under contract to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has participated in the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) from mid 1979 to the present. The survey was initiated to gather catch and effort statistics for marine recreational fisheries along the Pacific west coast. Annual summaries of these statistics have already been published on a regional basis (Current Fisheries Statistics Numbers 8321, 8323, and 8325). In these summaries, California's data is divided into two regions: Del Norte to San Luis Obispo Counties (north-central region), and Santa Barbara to San Diego Counties (southern region). This Quarterly Report No. 26 covers the period of October through December It supplements the federal annual summary for only the north-central region of California (Del Norte to San Luis Obispo Counties). This region is divided into five areas (subregions) corresponding to historical ports. Contributors to Quarterly Report No. 26 are: Area 1 (Del Norte and Humbolt Counties) Michael Wallace Area 2 (Mendocino and Sonoma Counties) Konstantin A. Karpov and Gerald S. Kwiecien Area 3 (greater San Francisco area: ocean and bay) Konstantin A. Karpov Area 4 (Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties) Diana L. Watters Area 5 (San Luis Obispo County) Nancy R. Siepel

12 METHODS Catch and length data were collected by Department biologists intercepting anglers actively fishing or in the process of leaving a fishing site. Sampling w methodology is described in part in Current Fisheries Statistics (8321, 8323, and w 8325). Data in this quarterly report are subdivided into three categories: pri- B ii4 marily by five geographical areas; secondarily by fishing modes and gear types within each area; and finally by catch definition for each area, mode, and gear type. Tables are presented for these categories, each with three sections: -v1 sampled effort, ranked catch, and catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE). Also, within each area, length-frequency histograms and tables are presented for select.p species. Study Areas Study areas range in size from one county in Area 5 to seven counties in Area 3 (Figure 1). Adjacent counties are combined whenever similarity of habitat and species composition warrants. Boat modes are segregated by county only if separate grounds were fished (i.e. Sonoma County Bodega Bay fishery, sub-area 097, from Mendocino County, sub-area 045). Area 1, including Del Norte and Humbolt counties, extends from the Oregon border to ~helt&r Cove. Both counties are combined in all mode comparisons. Area 2 contains Mendocino County and that part of Sonoma County which is north of Bodega Bay. Both counties are combined for all modes except the boat modes (privatelrental boat and CPFV). The San Francisco Area 3 is segregated into ocean and bay. This area includes anglers from six counties; Marin, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, San Francisco, and San Mateo. These counties encircle the bay and extend down to Ano Nuevo. Two sets of tables and figures were

13 FIGURE 1. Study area counties and sub-areas in northern and central California.

14 generated based on whether anglers specified having fished in the ocean or the bay. Bay anglers were predominantly from San Francisco Bay, but also included a small percentage of Halfmoon Bay anglers. Area 4 includes Santa Cruz County and that part of Monterey County which is north of Ragged Point. Area 5, San Luis Obispo County, extends down to Point Sal. Areas 045 and 4 were the only areas that included tables on boat divers using spear gear. Areas 2 and 5 were the only two to include tables on shore divers using spear gear. Fishing Modes Modes of fishing were organized into six categories: (i) pier or dock, (ii) jetty or breakwater, (iii) bridge or causeway, (iv) beach or bank, (v) private or rental boat, and (vi) commercial passenger fishing vessel (CPFV). Gear Types Three types of gear were used: (i) hook-and-line, (ii) spear, or (iii) net. -Spears were used only by divers. Dipnet and castnet were the only net I gears i'n active use in northern and central California. Catch Definition Catch is defined three different ways: (i) all fish captured, including fish returned dead or alive, those not available at the sampling site (i.e. filleted or given away etc.), and those available to measure; (ii) landed catch, not including fish returned dead or alive: and, (iii) the measured catch only. Fish caught but unavailable to measure were identified to the nearest taxa using the angler's description. Computer-Generated Tables and Figures The Microcomputer Program Series (MPS) was developed to generate the tables and figures used in this report. The programs were designed for flexibility and ease of use on area microcomputers. The programs allow the user to generate tables and figures for any combination of area, mode, gear, or definition of

15 catch. Data generated by these programs include: sampled effort, ranked catch, CPUE, and length-frequency data, Documentation of logic and program listings are available (Karpov, 1984). Sampled Effort Sampled effort is the same for all three catch definitons for a particular area, mode, or gear, It includes the number of anglers intercepted and the total hours fishing effort. Ranked Catch Ranked catch includes rank of species caught by number or weight, and other statistics depending on the catch definiton, Fish are ranked by number caught in two of the catch definitions: all fish caught and landed catch. The measured catch has fish ranked by weight caught. The measured catch tables include average lengths and standard deviation, and derived average weight. CPUE CPUE is calculated using two definitions of both "catch" and "effort". Catch is either number or weight (kilograms) caught, Effort is either angler days or total hours fished. CPUE, computed using weight caught as opposed to number landed, are included only for two of the catch definitions: landed catch and measured catch. Average weights incorporated in the landed catch tables are derived either from the respective measured catch table for the same species or, for the more general species groups, by calculating a group average weight. Group average weights of constituent species were calculated from this quarter's data for the same mode, gear, and area. Angler days represent completed fishing days for most areas and modes. Occasional incomplete trips were included for all modes except boat modes.

16 Length-Frequency Data Length-frequency histograms and tables were generated for select species. Histograms are included for highly abundant species where at least 10 measured fish occurred in the most frequent size interval. Histograms were summarized in either 5-, lo-, or 20-mm intervals. The criteria for assigning summary intervals was based on the largest recorded size for the species as reported in Miller and Lea (1972). Fish reported form 0 to 12 inches used 5-mm, greater than 12 to 24 inches used 10-mm and greater than 24 inches were assigned 20-mm intervals. Length-frequency tables (see Appendix A) were generated for all species with at least five measured fish for any given area, mode, and gear. Tables were summarized in 5-mm intervals and include length statistics for possible use in - ANOVA computations (Sokal and Rholf, 1969). S~ecies Names and Length-Weight Parameters Total length was recorded for all species except tuna-like fishes with rigid concave caudal fins; for these fork lengths were used. Weights were not actually measured; rather, they were determined, for all major species taken, from precal- culated length-weight relationships. The exponential relationship used was w=~l~; where a and b are constants unique to each species (Appendix 8). Scientific and common names used were standardized using the American Fisheries Society list (1980).
