Description

Abstract: This data set contains the L.A. Times daily summary of Sport Fish catches for the southern California region for 1959-1998 from Ensenada, Mexico in the south northward to San Simeon, California in the north.

Purpose: This data set has been compiled as a means for persons interested in the recreational marine commercial passenger sport boat fishery in southern California to look at historical trends in catches effort for various species. The original data has been provided to the Los Angeles Times by individual commercial sport fish landings and carried by the L.A. Times as an informational service to their subscribers. The data set is a fairly complete and objective time series of commercial sport fish catches in the southern California region providing a unique opportunity to look at long and short term trends in catches & effort. The NMFS Fisheries Resource Division has compiled the data for a 40 year time period 1959-1998, and presented it in a format allowing extraction of catch and effort data by date, species, and location.
