Description

Abstract: In 1986, the restructuring of Agency Marine Resources Programs resulted in certain organizational changes effective January 1, 1986. Shrimp Investigations staff and functions were placed under the Shellfish Program together with Scallop and Squid projects. A 1ist of the Groundfish staff is shown in Appendix 1. Monitoring of the groundfish fisheries/resources continued much as in the past. Major emphasis continued on the dominant trawl fisheries, especially species composition of rockfish. A somewhat revived salmon troll fishery he1 ped encourage effort switch from rockfish to salmon. Good markets for sablefish helped spur increasing effort on that species. Most activities remained fairly routine and unchanged in substance from previous years, however.
