Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fish Bulletin, Vol. 2: The Scientific Investigation of Marine Fisheries, as Related to the Work of the Fish and Game Commission in Southern California
The existence of wide variation in the accessibility of fish, especially species found on the surface, shows that statistical evidence drawn from commercial catches may not in itself mean decreasing abundance unless allowance is made for the factors which cause this wide variation. Because of this, it seems overwhelmingly important to examine the various fisheries from a biological viewpoint, in order that other supple mentary indices to the condition of the fishery be discovered. In fact, so important is the subject, that even were the statistical criteria satis factory ih themselves, the conclusions drawn from them should be corroborated by additional evidence, naturally biological in character.
