The article presents the experience of the USSR in fisheries management in the Baltic Sea and the results of cooperation of the Baltic countries in the study, protection, reproduction and use of fish stocks. The goals and possible ways of developing international cooperation in planning and implementation of fisheries research in the Baltic are shown. | Fischerei-Forschung.

During the period October 1 - December 31, 1975,Department personnel made 176 sampling trips aboardsouthern California partyboats. A total of 25,721 fishfrom 77 species was identified and measured.Otoliths were removed from 1,767 rockfish carcassesrepresenting 30 species for use in age determination.Sampling personnel tagged and released 192 Californiabarracuda, Sphyraena argentea; 2 white seabass, Cynoscionnobilis; and 29 sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria.The 10 most common species sampled during this periodrepresented 84% of the total number of fish measured.These were, in order of importance; bocaccio, Sebastespaucispinis; Pacific bonito, Sarda chiliensis; chilipepper,Sebastes goodei; olive rockfish, Sebastes serranoides;vermilion rockfish, Sebastes miniatus, white croaker,Genyonemus lineatus; blue rockfish, Sebastes mystinus;greenspotted rockfish, Sebastes chlorostictus; sculpin,Scorpaena guttata; and Pacific mackerel, Scomber japonicus.Bocaccio alone accounted for 44% of the sampled catch.

Estimates of the total yearly catch from the partyboat fishery have been collected and published on a routine basis since 1935. Important data relating to the size and age composition of this segment of the marine sportfishery have been lacking. As a consequence, a southern California partyboat sampling study was initiated on April 1, 1975. The main objective of this sampling is to identify and measure all fishes taken by sportsmen on partyboatswith primary emphasis given to California barracuda, Sphyraena argentea; yellowtail, Seriola dorsalis; white seabass, Cynoscion nobilis; and rockfishes, Sebastes spp. (22pp.)

During the period January 1 to March 31, 1976, Departmentpersonnel made 139 sampling trips aboard southern California partyboats. A total of 22,122 fishes from 73 species was identified and measured.Otoliths were removed from 1,536 rockfish carcasses representing 31 species for use in age determination.Sampling personnel tagged and released 68 Californiabarracuda, Sphyraena argentea, and 18 sablefish, Anoplopomafimbria.The five most common species sampled during this periodrepresented approximately 79% of the total number of fishesmeasured. These were, in order of importance; bocaccio,Sebastes paucispinis; chilipepper, Sebastes goodei; oliverockfish, Sebastes serranoides; greenspotted rockfish,Sebastes chlorostictus; and vermilion rockfish, Sebastesminiatus. Bocaccio alone accounted for 52% of the sampledcatch. (15pp.)
