Fishery Resources of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary

摘要

In this report, the authors have tried to summarize, for a general audience, thetechnical concepts and information that fishery scientists use to estimate the population sizes of harvested species. Although regional aquaculture ventures also contribute to local economies, the authors have chosen to discuss wild populations of fishes. In addition to summarizing scientific information, the authors have also provided a brief description of the types of fisheries operating in the region defined by the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS), and a summary of fishery management operations.
