Abstract
During the period October 1 - December 31, 1973, Fall surveys of permanent subtidal stations were completed with one station being surveyed. We were unable to locate 3
subtidal stations.
Intertidal studies were initiated in November. A total of 12
random stations was surveyed.
Interviews were conducted with commercial abalone fishermen
working between Pt. Buchon to Pecho Rock. We continued to
monitor the sea otter herd foraging between Pt. Buchon and
Lion Rock.
Progress was achieved in the abalone temperature tolerance
studies when a successful spawning occurred. (20pp.
