Description

Abstract: This report summarizes the results of our bay clam studies in 1992. Activities summarized include commercial clam fishery monitoring only. This report is presented as a series of tables with a minimum of discussion; other reports will evaluate the data presented here. The tables included give a historical overview of clam harvesting activities and are presented in a manner to allow Mure analysis to show trends of changes in stock status and fishing activities. This report is intended primarily to be an internal document, to be used as a reference by the shellfish staff. Recreational clam digger interviews for 1992 were eliminated totally due to budgetary restraints for the first time since 1976. Lack of adequate funding and personnel forced the elimination of this valuable information source. We plan to attempt to reinstate part of this program with volunteer help in 1993.
