The status of the California yellowtail resource and its management

1973

Collins, Robson A.

The California yellowtail, Seriola dorsalis, is a highlyfavored sport fish and a minor commercial species. Since1954 commercial landings have been limited by demand, and thesport catch has been about three times the number of fishcaught by commercial fishermen.Recreational fishing for yellowtail in southernCalifornia waters is almost entirely dependent on annualmigrants from central and northern Baja California. The resource is presently healthy but reduced catches off California could be the result of an expanded catch off Mexico. (19pp.)
