Description

Abstract: Project goals for federal fiscal year 1986 included working at sea and shoreside to collect data regarding the fishery and biology of Loligo opalescens. Squid catch in 1986 was low despite adequate market demand for the product. Catch was low primarily because most of the equid fishing fleet switched gear to fish for pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani). Few intrafishery and interfishery conflicts occurred due to the low effort. Biological data collected from market samples indicate that the equid spawning in 1986 had similar morphometric characteristics as squid caught from 1983 to 1985.
