California Gillnet Fishery

Description

This data set contains vessels, logbooks, fish size and landings data for three fleets of gillnet vessels that operate within 200 mile of the U.S. west coast, mainly in waters off California. The three fleets consist of set gillnet vessels targeting halibut and angel sharks, small-mesh drift gillnet vessels targeting white sea bass and yellowtail and large-mesh drift gillnet vessels targeting swordfish and thresher sharks. In addition, observer data are available from the large-mesh drift gillnet fleet. The data are owned by CDFW and managed jointly by CDFW and SWFSC.
