Marine recreational fisheries statistics survey for northern and central California, Quarterly Report no. 15, January to March, 1983

Field intercept Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) data for central and northern California, collected in January to March 1983, is presented in a data report format. Data in this quarterly report are subdivided into three categories: primarily by five geographical areas; secondarily by fishing modes and gear types within each area; and finally by catch definition for each area, mode, and gear type. Tables are presented for these categories, each with three sections: sampled effort, ranked catch, and catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE). Also, within each area, length-frequency histograms and tables are presented for select species. (108pp.
