From 1 April through 30 June, 1976, Department

personnel made 146 trips aboard southern California

partyboats. A total of 18,218 fishes from 76 species

was identified and measured.

Otoliths were removed from 674 rockfish carcasses

for use in age determination studies.

The 10 most common species sampled during this

quarter represented 85.2% of the total number of fishes

measured. These were, in order of importance: bocaccio,

Sebastes paucispinis; kelp bass, Paralabrax clathratus;

Pacific bonito, Sarda chiliensis; barred sand bass,

Paralabrax nebulifer; chilipepper, Sebastes goodei;

California barracuda, Sphyraena argentea; olive rockfish;

Sebastes serranoides; white croaker, Genyonemus lineatus;

ocean whitefish, Caulolatilus princeps; and vermilion

rockfish, Sebastes miniatus. 

Pacific bonito and California barracuda partyboat

landings exceeded those of the entire 1975 season, and

sampling data indicate the average length of barracuda

caught from partyboats was significantly larger than

that of the previous season.  (15pp.

From 1 April through 30 June, 1976, Department

was identified and measured. 
Otoliths were removed from 674 rockfish carcasses 
for use in age determination studies. 
The 10 most common species sampled during this

The small percentage of rockf i shes  i n  June samples was due t o  a 
reduced rockf i sh  sampling schedule. Often we were confronted wi th  
a choice of sampling e i t h e r  a rockcod boat  o r  s u r f a c e  f i s h i n g  boat  on 
t h e  same day from a p a r t i c u l a r  landing.  Generally, w e  chose t h e  
latter because sampling s u r f a c e  game f i s h  spec ies  has a h igher  
p r i o r i t y  i n  our program. 
The bulk  of rockf i sh  landings cons i s t ed  of t h e  same spec ies  
(Table 2) as those  of previous r epor t s .  These a re :  bocaccio (55.9%), 
ch i l ipepper  (14.7%), o l i v e  rockf i sh  ( 6 . 4 % ) ,  vermil ion rockf i sh  (2.9%), 
greenspotted rockf i sh  (2.9%), and b lue  rockf i sh  (2.7%). The remaining 
13.5% of t h e  rockf i sh  ca tch  cons is ted  of 28 a d d i t i o n a l  species .  
Length-frequency histograms f o r  bocaccio and ch i l ipepper  show t h a t  
while  numbers of f i s h  sampled decreased s u b s t a n t i a l l y  from t h e  previous 
q u a r t e r ,  t h e  average s i z e  captured remained approximately t h e  same 
(Figures 1 and 2 ) .
