Title: Southern California independent sport fishing survey Quarterly Report for July-September, 1975
Abstract: A 1-yr. study was undertaken to devise a sampling program
which would determine fishing catch and effort levels of
one segment of the southern California marine sport
fishery. Personal interviews of fishermen were conducted
at launch ramps, boat hoists, and boat rental locations
from Santa Barbara County to the Mexican border. This
report presents quantitative data and statistical
estimates of effort, total catch, catch of preferred
sport fish species, and length frequencies of selected
species landed by private-boat sport fishermen.
An estimated 107,000 anglers and 5,300 divers landed 307,000
fishes, molluscs, and crustaceans. The major components
of the catch were 1) white croaker, Genyonemus lineatus,
87,000 landed; 2) bass, Paralabrax spp., 30,000 landed; and
3) Pacific mackerel, Scomber japonicus, 21,000 landed. (24pp.)
