Basic morphometric data, reproductive state, fecundity, condition, age, sampling location and dates are recorded. In addition, historic datasets are being compiled and assimilated into the ROCKFISH database to compare current fecundity estimates to those in the 1950s, 80s, and 2000s from various published and unpublished sources. Under construction are tables documenting an ongoing effort in production ageing of chilipepper rockfish collected by the NWFSC trawl survey to assess trends in mean size-at-age from the 1980s to current and estimate reader variability and error in age estimation. The purpose of the data set is to better understand variability in life history patterns, including growth and reproductive effort, of West Coast rockfish species. underDevelopment Monk, Melissa 831-420-3950 melissa.monk@noaa.gov contact via email pointOfContact Monk, Melissa 831-420-3950 melissa.monk@noaa.gov contact via email custodian asNeeded fecundity flatfish groundfish histology maturity reproduction rockfish theme 1950-Present temporal California Current place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SWFSC > Southwest Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA.

The length of the longline and the number of hooks depend on the species targeted, the size of the vessel used, and the purpose of the fishing activity. Trawl Net Trawl Nets A funnel-shaped net towed behind a boat to capture fish. The cod end, or ‘bag,’ is the fine-meshed portion of the net most distant from the towing vessel where fish and other organisms larger than the mesh size are retained. Charter vessels-small boats various vessels ranging in size (20-40 ft length) chartered for cetacean surveys when a NOAA small boat is not available.
