Description

Abstract: Monitoring of the groundfish fisheries and the resource continued much as in the past. Major emphasis continued on the dominant trawl fisheries, especially species composition of rockfish. A strong shrimp fishery in 1987 resulted in a substantial effort shift from groundfish to shrimp fishing in the April-October period. Good markets for groundfish continued throughout the year. Most activities remained fairly routine and unchanged in substance from previous years, however. In 1987 we collected 1,044 biological samples, slightly more than the amount collected in 1986 (Table 1). Rockfish species composition samples accounted for two-thirds of the samples collected.
