' ' ■ — Longfellow (7) LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL July 1, 1946 To His Excellency, Earl Warren Governor of the State of California Sacramento, California Sir : We, the members of the Fish and Game Commission, respect- fully submit the Thirty-ninth Biennial Report, covering the period July 1, 1944, through June 30, 1946. The report is a brief resume of the activities of the Fish and Game Commission ; a report by the Executive Secretary ; and detailed reports of the functions of the various bureaus by their respective chiefs. There also are included complete fiscal reports and tabulations on fish and game management. Respectfully submitted, California Fish and Game Commission Lee F. Payne, President Wm. B. Williams Harvey E. Hastain Wm. J. SiLVA (9) REPORT OF FISH AND GAME COMMISSION During the past biennium the Fish and Game Commission was com- posed of the following : Nate F. Milnor, President Dom A. Civitello Lee F. Payne H. L. Ricks W. B. Williams Personnel changes in the commission were effected during the past two years as follows : Harvey E. Hastain appointed May 23, 1945, vice Nate F. Milnor, term expired. William J. Silva appointed March 20, 1946, vice H. L. Ricks, deceased. Dom A. Civitello, resigned March 19, 1946. General H. H. Arnold, retired, was appointed March 20, 1946, vice Dom A. Civitello. However, because of War Department Regulations, General Arnold was unable to officially accept the appointment until July 1, 1947. Thus at the close of the biennium the commission was composed of the following: Lee F. Payne, President Los Angeles W. B. Williams Alturas Harvey E. Hastain Brawley William J. Silva Modesto General H. H. Arnold, (Tentative) Sonoma It will be noted that the commission is now geographically repre- sentative of the sportsmen of the State. The Division of Fish and Game felt the same effects of "war time" and "reconversion" as commercial agencies experienced. The shortage of personnel, material, supplies and equipment greatly hampered the opera- tion of the division. However, with few exceptions all propagation facili- ties were operated at normal capacity and when the activities of the biennium are summarized it is found that the established trend of con- tinued advancement w^as maintained and that progress was made in all fields. In spite of the numerous difficulties encountered during the period, more fish were planted and more game birds released than during any previous similar period. The enactment of Chapter 648— Statutes of 1945, (Assembly Bill No. 395) by the State Legislature delegated to the commission certain regulatory powers. These regulatory powers, in effect, allow the com- mission to establish the seasons, bag limits and other regulations affecting the taking of the sporting species of fish and game. This is considered to be the most outstanding step of the biennium in the advancement of the management of these resources. Season, bag limits and regulations can now be established annually on a sound biological basis, so that the fish and game resources ^of the State can best cope with the demand placed upon it. (11) 12 FISH AND GAME COMMISSION During the biennium it was found advisable to abolish the former Bureau of Engineering. This was effected on October 15, 1945. The con- struction work formerly under the jurisdiction of this bureau has been transferred to the Department of Public AVorks, Division of Architecture. The fish screen and ladder maintenance was transferred to the Bureau of Fish Conservation. The Bureau of Patrol and Law Enforcement was faced with a most disheartening task. The fish and game resources under supervision of the bureau are widely scattered over the 155,652 square miles comprising the State. California's population approximated 9,000,000 during the war, and bureau functions were impeded by shortages of personnel, gas and oil, tires and other items essential to the effective patrol opera- tions. However, an exceptional showing w^as made by the meager force of some 125 employees, as evidenced by the tabulation of arrests, fines and seizures to be found in the appendix of this report. (See Appendix, page 95.) Wartime restrictions regulating the operation of boats placed the Bureau of Marine Fisheries in a very undesirable position. The Bureau of Marine Fisheries is charged with the management of the marine life in that portion of the Pacific Ocean adjacent to the State of California. With the operation of boats in these waters minimized, it was extremely difficulty to carry on the research activities necessary to manage this fishery. However, the bureau was able to maintain sufficient research activities to carry on the continuity of the majority of their studies. A review of the happenings of the past five years which affect the fish and game resources, include the following : The population of California has increased by approximately 2,000,000. The population of California has become more outdoor minded, with a greater percentage buying hunting and fishing licenses each year. Present day trends toward a shorter work week not only allow greater numbers to go hunting and fishing but those who in the past participated in these sports, now have more time to spend afield. Higher prices and available markets have increased the demand on the commercial fishery. Virtually no additional fish and game propagation facilities were acquired during this period. Maintenance of existing fish and game propagation facilities has been almost nil. Scientific and field studies have in many cases been suspended or greatly curtailed. As an aftermath of the war there is an upward trend in fish and game violations. The State Division of Fish and Game faces a tremendous task in bringing its services to a point of prewar effectiveness, but the future is bright. The war and most of the reconversion is behind us. Trained personnel has returned to the department. Investigations and studies interrupted by the conflict can now be resumed. Equipment and supplies again are available. Programs already outlined indicate that the division will, during the next year, enjoy one of the most productive and worthwhile periods in its history. THIETT-NINTH BIENNIAL REPOET 13 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY The Executive Secretary was charged with effecting, within the Division of Fish and Game the policies and operational procedures as laid down by the Fish and Game Commission, and in the absence of the commission, acted as chief of the division. For purposes of adminis- tration, operation and planning the activities of the division were sub- divided as follows: Office of Administration Bureau of Patrol and Law Enforcement Bureau of Marine Fisheries Bureau of Fish Conservation Bureau of Engineering* Bureau of Game Conservation Bureau of Game Farms Bureau of Licenses A suitable plan of organization has been worked out and the nec- essary reorganization of the division to bring it into conformity with this plan is gradually being effected. This reorganization must of neces- sity be slow; and complete reorganization is not contemplated before July of 1947. (See chart between pages 14 and 15.) The basic purpose behind this reorganization was to relieve bureau personnel of adminis- trative duties. Bureau chiefs and their assistants are technical employees and should not be burdened with fiscal and personnel transactions. PERSONNEL The division was consistently faced with a shortage of personnel during the entire biennium. During the latter months, this shortage became less acute. During this period the salary ranges of most of our employees were revised and other adjustments are still being considered by the Personnel Board. These upward adjustments brought the pay scales of the division employees closer to conformity with pay scales of other agencies doing comparable work. The following personnel changes in the biennium were deemed worthy of note : Bureau of Patrol: During the fore part of the biennium, Mr. L. F. Chappell served as acting Chief of the Bureau of Patrol and Law Enforcement. On October 8, 1945, Mr. E. L. Macaulay returned from active military service and resumed his position as chief of this bureau, at which time Mr. Chappell returned to his former position as assistant chief in charge of the Marine Patrol. The following personnel of this bureau retired on the dates indicated : Clarence Groat April 30, 1946 C. J. Walters June 30, 1946 L. T. Ward June 30, 1946 * The Bureau of Engineering was abolished September 1, 1945. 14 PISH AND GAME COMMISSION Bureau of Marine Fisheries: Dr. Richard Van Cleve served as Chief of the Bureau of Marine Fisheries from July 1, 1944, through February 26, 1946, at which time he resigned to accept a position with the Federal Government. Dr. Frances N. Clark served as acting chief of this bureau for the balance of the biennium. Bureau of Fish Conservation: Mr. Allan Taft served as Chief of the Bureau of Fish Conservation for .the entire period. The following- personnel retired from active duty on the dates indicated : William Berrian February 13, 1945 Harvey A. Johnson March 31, 1946 Clarence Ganter April 30, 1946 Bureau of Engineering : John E. Spencer served as Chief of Bureau of Engineering through September 1, 1945, at which time the bureau was abolished. Mr. Spencer retired on April 8, 1946. Bureau of Game Conservation: The senior employee of the Divi- sion of Fish and Game, Mr. J. S. Hunter, served as the Chief of the Bureau of Game Conservation during this biennium. Bureau of Game Farms : The Bureau of Game Farms was headed by Mr. August Bade, who served as chief of this bureau from the period of July 1, 1944, through March 31, 1946, at which time Mr. Bade retired. Mr. Bade can truly be considered the father of our present game farm system, and his retirement, even though justly deserved, is regretted by those who served with him. The duties of the Chief of the Bureau of Game Farms were taken over on April 1, 1945, by Mr. Carlisle Van Ornum, who served in this category until the end of the biennium. Bureau of Licenses : Mr. H. Russell Dunbar served as Chief of the Bureau of Licenses for the entire biennium. CONSERVATION EDUCATION During the war the use of motion pictures was determined to be the most eiiicient method of educating the greatest number of individ- uals in the shortest time. Realizing the tremendous need for education among the youth and adults of this State in matters concerning conser- vation of our wildlife, the commission approved a program of visual education. During the past two years, even with shortages of men and mate- rials, the program has progressed considerably. We now have approxi- mately 28,600 feet of natural-color motion pictures showing : Trout hatcheries, methods of production, methods of planting; game bird farms and rearing pens, showing hatching, rearing and releasing ; trap- ping coyotes and bobcats ; quail watering devices ; live-trapping and transplanting of beaver ; the sardine industry ; catching and canning of tuna ; salmon investigations ; and others of deer, elk, pheasants, sage hens, pigeons, doves, wild turkeys and antelope. These films are as yet incomplete, all need to be titled and most of them are in need of further editing and additional subject matter. 0 15 a of id by 00 en id. lil !St ial ns he >o- ill or m. le, of 3r- m, lis its sr- of of ifi- aii an 3re ;he di- m- lin 14 CI Fi th of th pe of w SI B o: t] G C a-.r-' 01^, !:x- :;mv'-ic il '■rriG C U THIRTY-NINTH BIENNIAL REPORT 15 Completion of present films as well as plans for additional ones has a high priority among the activities for the coming year. Showing of these films during the biennium approximated the following : Schools - 120 Sportsmen clubs , 60 Service organizations 100 Other groups 50 Total showings ; 330 These showings have been curtailed by the limited personnel and equipment available for this work. The number of people reached by these showings is estimated at 35,000. And with an estimated 900,000 hunters and fishermen ; and approximately 1,500,000 school children in the State, it can be seen that the surface has barely been scratched. Publication of printed matter along educational lines has been nil during the war and reconstruction period. This was due to a request by tlie State Printer to curtail all printing, "not absolutely essential to the operation of the agency. ' ' Plans for the furtherance of this means of conservation education were being formulated at the close of the biennium and as soon as conditions permit, will be put into effect. PUBLIC INFORMATION The division's public information program which is closely asso- ciated with the conservation education program also suffered the ill effects of "wartime" conditions. However, the news sheet. Outdoor California, was maintained and issued weekly in mimeograph form. This release was sent to personnel of the Division -of Fish and Game, newspapers, members of legislative and other groups. This program of public information needs to be expanded in order that all people inter- ested in wildlife may know what is being done in wildlife protection, propagation and management and how they, the public, may help in this work. The inability of the division to keep the public informed of its activities and the reasons for them has resulted in numerous misunder- standings and unjust adverse criticism. This condition is in the process of being remedied through added appropriations and the reclassification of the position to which this work is assigned. By reason of this reclassifi- cation the division is now in a position to employ the type of artisan necessary to properly present our program to the public. LIBRARY During the biennium, the Division Library, located in the San Francisco office, continued to expand. It has now reached the point where it is recognized as one of the outstanding libraries of its type in the Country. Arrangements for completion of the binding of bulletins and periodi- cals which have been delayed during the past five years have been com- pleted. It is expected that all binding will be brought up-to-date within the next year. 16 FISH AND GAME COMMISSION The use of the library by outside agencies and students was about the same as the preceding biennium. However, with the increased num- ber of students returning to their books in the last few months of the biennium it is expected that the demand placed on the library in the immediate future will set a new record. PUBLICATIONS The issuance of the quarterly California Fish and Game was con- tinued during the biennium in spite of the shortage of personnel, paper, and kindred items. Included in these publications were 46 articles, fiscal statements, and recapitulations of arrests and fines. The 46 articles com- prised 450 pages, and the average distribution of the quarterly was 4,000. It is expected that in the immediate future this publication will increase considerably, both in size and in distribution. A greater number of field employees and biologists will increase the number of articles worthy of publication, and the influx of students at schools, plus the increased interest of hunters and fishermen in field activities, will no doubt greatly increase the demand placed on the division for this quarterly. LIAISON ACTIVITIES Liaison activities were established and maintained with interna- tional, national, state and interstate organizations. Personnel of the division have served on a number of committees and conferences, and delivered some very fine papers at these meetings. The executive secretary attended, during the biennium, the annual convention of the Western Association of Fish and Game Commissioners ; the National Wildlife Conference as advisor to the Director of Natural Resources and helped in the formation of a Tri-State Compact between California, Oregon and Washington. He was California's delegate at a meeting of representatives of the Gulf and Atlantic States to study the off-shore fisheries of the United States, and was made a member of a nine-man committee ; three from Sacramento, three from Gulf States and three from Atlantic States, to further study the needs of further pro- tection on conservation of our state and national off-shore fisheries. In addition, he has been a member of the California State Department Fishery Committee and worked closely with the industry and the State Department in the formation of a treaty with Mexico to help conserve and protect the tuna industry from further exploitation. FISCAL Complete financial statements for the biennium will be found in the appendix of this report. However, the following graphic charts will show in summary the receipts and disbursements for the two year period. Attention is called to the fact that these charts are made up in accordance with the internal structure of the Division and Fish and Game and that in regard to purpose of expenditure, there is considerable overlapping of functions. That is , expenditures under Bureau of Patrol are directly related to the Bureau of Marine Fisheries as well as all other bureaus. Likewise there are other interrelated activities such as fish screens, between the Bureau of Marine Fisheries and the Bureau of Fish Conservation.

O o o o o THTRTY-NINTH BIENNIAL REPORT 19 BUREAU OF PATROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT The Bureavi of Patrol and Law Enforcement is the police force of the Division of Fish and Game. This bureau is charged with patrolling fish and game resources of the State, the apprehension of violators of the provisions of the Fish and Game Code and/or regulations of the Fish and Game Commission. During the first year of the biennium, operations of the Bureau of Patrol and Law Enforcement were affected by gasoline rationing and shortage of manpower. With the lifting of gasoline restrictions on tlie cessation of hostilities in the Pacific area in August of 1945, an increase in hunting and fishing activities took place. Our automobile transporta- tion was old, new cars were not available and new tires were in very short supply (some old prewar casings had been recapped as many as six and seven times). In spite of these handicaps an increase in arrests and fines was made over previous years. The purchase of a four-passenger single engine plane during the biennium has proved very valuable in patrol, as well as assisting other bureaus in their field work. Fines resulting from arrests made in con- junction with this air patrol have more than paid the initial cost of the plane. In order to cover ocean water areas of the State, it is recommended that an amphibian plane be obtained during the next biennium, prefer- ably a twin-engine job. This equipment will materially assist our high seas patrol. Patrol plane of the Division of Fish and Game 20 FISH AND GAME COMMISSION All patrol boats taken over by the Federal Government were returned during the biennium except the "Blue fin" and " Quinnai III." The former vessel was lost off the Channel Islands and a satisfactory- monetary settlement was made. The latter vessel still is operating for the government. Negotiations began in January, 1946, preparatory to returning the M. V. "N. B. 8 co field" and were still under way at the close of the biennium. Shortages of personnel continued during the biennium but men on military leave commenced returning in October, 1945. Eleven returned in October, six in November, eight in December, eight in January, three in February, two in March, two in April and one in May. At present only three members of the bureau are still absent on military leaves. During the war, emergency temporary duration wardens appoint- ments were made and examinations are scheduled early in the next biennium to fill these vacancies as well as the increase permitted in next year's budget. When eligible lists are available, it is proposed to hold a short school of instruction for newly appointed wardens. A warden's manual is in the hands of the printer and will be distributed at the same time as the school course. A recapitulation of the arrests, fines and seizures will be found in the appendix, on page 95. THIRTY-NINTH BIENNIAL REPORT 21 REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF MARINE FISHERIES The Bureau of Marine Fisheries is responsible for the conservation and administration of the marine fisheries of California, both commercial and sport. In order to provide a basis for its recommendations to the Fish and Game Commission and ultimately to the Leo:islature, the bureau conducts biological and statistical research on the fisheries. Trends in fishing conditions, abundance, and availability of fish, economic factors influencino; the industry, fishing methods, and related matters are fol- lowed closely. These studies are based on a comprehensive system of catch records which was instituted more than 30 years ago. Correlation of the statistical information with the biological data provides a background for the enactment of wise conservation measures which should result in a continued yield of fisheries products. THE COMMERCIAL FISH CATCH The commercial fisheries of California maintained their high level of production in 1944 and 1945. Heavy buying of fillets and canned fish by governmental agencies provided a stable outlet for marine products. With foreign sources of fish oil, meal, and vitamin oil cut off by the war, the demand for these products continued. Total fish landings, and production of canned fish, oil, and meal for 1944 and 1945 are presented in Table I. (See appendix, page 102.) The total landings of fish showed an increase of 275,000,000 pounds over the previous biennium. The pack of canned fish increased by 18 percent over the previous two years. The production of fish meal and oil was also greater. The value of the processed products was the highest on record. On the whole the prices received by the fishermen remained at about the same level as in the previous biennium, although some upward revi- sions in price ceilings were made. Increased catches of some of the higher- priced species resulted in record total value figures. Table II (see appen- dix, page 102) presents the catches and value of the most important spe- cies of fish handled by California canneries, reduction plants, and fresh fish markets in 1944 and 1945. The values represent the prices paid to the fishermen at the time of delivery. For the past several years the total value of the California fisheries has shown a steady rise (see Figure 1, page 22). The increase reflects a rise in prices, and a concentration on the more valuable species, both due in large measure to wartime expansion of markets. Of the most important species, such fish as the sardine, albacore, skipjack, and mackerel maintained positions very nearly the same as in the previous biennium, both in quantity and value. The yellowfin tuna, which is second in total value only to the sardine, has shown a consistent increase in catch and value during the last four years, with landings nearly back to prewar levels. Catches of bluefin tuna, which often show 22 FISH AND GAME COMMISSION great variations, were nearly double those of the previous biennium. The foregoing species are utilized principally in canneries. The most impor- tant fish handled by the fresh fish markets is the salmon, catches of which were 80 percent greater than in 1942 and 1943. Figure 1. Value of California commercial fish catch, 1939-1945. Value represents amount paid to the fishermen at time of delivery Spectacular increases were made in several hitherto minor fisheries. Development of a canning process for Pismo clams resulted in heavy shipments of these shellfish from Lower California. Within the short space of two years the Pismo clam rose from a position of insignificance to seventh place in the fisheries. This species of clam has been so seriously depleted on California beaches that severe restrictions have been placed on the diggers, and canning of local clams has been prohibited for many years. Heavy wartime purchases of fresh and frozen fillets by the govern- ment, coupled with the great demand for liver oil, stimulated the Northern California trawl fishery. Development of a modified type of otter trawl permitted great increases in the catches of rockfish and sablefish. Rock- fish showed a fivefold increase in landings, and the value was more than three times as great as in the previous biennium. The sablefish catch doubled, with a more than twofold increase in value. Sole, formerly the mainstay of the trawl fishery, experienced only moderate increases, and was far behind the rockfish and sablefish. Another fishery to make great gains was the squid. In both 1944 and 1945 large quantities were canned at Monterey. Most of the squid was packed for government or United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration order for export. In contrast to the above fisheries, the shark catch showed a decline. THIRTY-NINTH BIENNIAL REPORT 23 COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN The numbers of commercial fishermen licensed in California during the years 1944-45 and 1945-46 are given in Table III. (See appendix, page 103). The number of fishermen licensed in 1944-45 was approximately one thousand less than the previous year. Part of this drop probably reflects the elimination of persons who had obtained commercial fishing licenses in 1943-44 merely to help qualify for Coast Guard passes or extra rations of gasoline. During the following season the license sales returned to approximately the 1943-44 figure of nearly 12,000. In 1945-46 fisher- men returning to the fishery from military service swelled the figures. The region of residence of commercial fishermen operating in Cali- fornia is shown in Table IV. (See appendix, page 103.) SARDINES The sardine catch during the 1945-46 season was the smallest on record since the poor season of 1937-38. Landings showed a considerable drop from those of the 1944-45 season, which was above average. Because of the great demand for canned fish, particularly for the armed forces and for United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Adminis- tration, a large proportion of the sardine catch was canned. The 1945-46 case pack has been exceeded only by that of the 1941-42 season. (See Table V, appendix, page 104.) Figure 2. Tons and numbers of sardines landed at all California ports during the past 10 seasons. The figures include deliveries to floating plants from 1936-37 through 1938-39, when the floaters ceased operations. Although the greatest tonnage was landed in 1936-37, the greatest number of fish was taken in 1941-42. 24 FISH AND GAME COMMISSION The light catch of 1945-46, coupled with the use of greater than usual proportion of the fish for canning, resulted in the lightest production of sardine meal and oil since 1937-38. With all imports of meal and oil at a standstill, the demand for these products is far greater than the supply. The number of reduction plants operating under permit increased from 75 at the close of the last biennium to 85 during the 1945-46 season. The tonnage received under permit for straight reduction amounted to an average of 1,622 tons per plant during the 1945-46 season. This was only 35 percent of the allowable tonnage. During the 1944-45 season 71 per- cent of the allotted tonnage was used in reduction plants. The wholesale value of processed sardines during the calendar year 1945 was $29,326,000. Of this amount, canned sardines accounted for $15,256,000. Sardine oil was valued at $7,992,000 and meal was worth $6,078,000. Sardine canneries and reduction plants are located on San Francisco Bay, at Monterey and Moss Landing, and at Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor. Small amounts of meal and oil are also produced at San Diego. (See Table VI, appendix, page 104.) Sardine Investigations : Due to lack of personnel and equipment, no new investigations were inaugurated in the biennium. The routine sampling of the catch was carried on so that there need be no break in our measures of the size of fish in the catch. The cooperative study of age composition of the sardine was continued with the U. S. Fish and Wild- life Service. Another cooperative investigation carried on with this organization, and brought to completion in the biennium, comprised a detailed analysis of the catches of individual sardine boats over a ten-year period. The results have been published in Fish Bulletin No. 62. No sardines were tagged, but tag recoveries from former releases continued. In the 1944-45 season two tags were returned in the San Fran- cisco fishery which had been released in British Columbia waters by Canadian workers, and fourteen tags from tagging lots put out oif the mouth of the Columbia River by the Oregon Fish Commission were recovered at San Francisco and Monterey. In addition, 228 California tags were re-taken; 20 in the British Columbia fishery, and 208 in the California fisheries. These represented releases made in California and Mexican waters. During the 1945-46 season three Oregon tags were recovered in the Monterey fishery. Of the California releases, eight were retaken in British Columbia, and 34 in the California fisheries. Detailed studies were made of the tags returned over eight seasons, and the results were published in Fish Bulletin No. 61. These indicate a general intermingling of the sardine population between British Colum- bia and central Lower California. Because of this constant movement from area to area, use of tag returns to measure the size of the population did not prove successful. The rate of decline in the population from year to year was measured, however, both by tag returns and by age determina- tions. These were in satisfactory agreement, and for the next biennium age determinations only will be used for these studies since they require much less time and equipment. It is hoped that it will thus be possible to place more effort on studies of oceanographic conditions and their rela- tion to spawning success and availability of sardines on the fishing grounds. THIRTY-NINTH BIENNIAL REPORT 25 TUNA Security restrictions and a shortage of boats hampered the tuna fishery during the early part of American participation in the war. How- ever, by 1944 the rigid security regulations had been relaxed somewhat, and new boats had entered the fishery, so that the high seas fleet was able to make greater catches of yellowfin tuna. The improved yellowfin fishery coupled with exceptionally good catches of albacore and bluefin resulted in total tuna landings almost as great as those of the years immediately preceding the war. The 1945 catch of the four most important species of tuna (yellowfin, albacore, bluefin, and skipjack) amounted to 163,000,000 pounds. This figure has been exceeded only in 1939 and 1940 when land- ings of approximately 165,000,000 and 196,000,000 pounds, respectively, were recorded. 1 1 CALIFORNIA TUNA LANDINGS Figure 4. California landings of Yellowfin tuna, Skipjack, Albacore and Bluefin tuna, 1936-1945. Graph includes catches made by California boats and shipments from Oregon, Washington and Latin America; shipments from Japan, 1936-1941, are not included. Catches of the five species of tuna in 1944 and 1945 are shown in Table VII. The case pack of tuna for the same years is presented in Table VIII. Production of canned tuna was supplemented by yellowtail which was packed tuna-style in the following amounts : 19,848 cases in 1944, and 17,336 cases in 1945. Tuna canneries are located at San Diego and Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor. (See Tables VII and VIII, appendix, pages 104, 105.) Tuna Investigations: During the war years the entire staff assigned to the tuna investigation left state service, with the result that research came to a standstill. Shortly before the close of the biennium the man who had been in charge of the investigations returned from war serv- ice, and work was resumed on the analysis of boat catches and on the racial composition of the tuna populations. 26- FISH AND GAME COMMISSION MACKEREL The mackerel fishery has shown wide variations in seasonal catches ever since its inception in 1928. Landings reflect not only economic condi- tions and availability of fish, but the competition of other fisheries. Dur- ing the sardine season the moderately-priced and moderately-abundant mackerel is fished as a side issue to the lower-priced but more abundant sardine. "When sardines can be taken in great quantities, mackerel catches drop ; when sardines are relatively scarce, mackerel landings often rise as the fishermen turn to that species. Similarly, when the high-priced albacore and bluefin are running, fishermen spurn the mackerel ; when the tuna are scarce, they fish for mackerel. ■~^ 100 1 1 1 1^^ 1 / \-0 ' / \" / Vo 1 1 1 1 80 — \ ^/ _^- A — 60 ^"^ \_ T3 C a. ^ 40 — — 1 CALIFORNIA MACKEREL LANDINGS £ 20 — r "'r^^^- Horse Mackere ^^ -^ 1 1 ■^^ I 1 CD CTi ? f ' T 1- ID 1937 1938 1939 1940 1941- 1: "J T ——• ^ c £ 4 s ^Ckfish -^^-^^ 2 ► !2?ief,s_h — 1 1 — -- "T" \ 1 1 1 1 1936 1939 o (7> 1941 1942 1943 1944 P 1945 Figure 12. California landings of Flatfish, Rockfish and Sablefish, 1936-1945. Tine flatfish graph includes all species of flatfish except halibut, i.e., the various species of sole, sand dabs, starry flounder and turbot. Flatfish are taken almost entirely in trawl (drag) nets. The many species of rockfish (rock cod) were the basis of a line fishery until 1944. At the beginning of that year large scale trawling commenced. Sablefish (black cod) were taken principally on lines until 1944. During 1944 and 1945 both lines and drag nets were used. Figure 12 illustrates the development of the trawl fishery in graphic form. It must be pointed out that the figures presented include the catches of set line boats as well as trawlers. Only small quantities of sole, sand dabs, flounders and turbot are taken commercially by line fisher- men; the fishery is essentially a trawl fishery. Quantities of California halibut are taken by trawling in Southern California but the greatest catches are made by trammel netters and line fishermen. The only other flatfish of commercial importance, the northern halibut, is taken almost exclusively by set lines and trolling. These two species, exploitation of which long ago reached its limit, are excluded from this discussion. The sole is a prime favorite of the San Francisco fresh fish trade and shares wnth the crab the distinction of being a San Francisco specialty. The fishery for rockfish was almost entirely conducted by set line until 1944. Set liners still operate south of San Francisco and contributed to the 1944 and 1945 catches (approximately 1,680,000 pounds in 1945), but there was no spectacular increase in their operations. The numerous varieties of rock cod have long been popular in Cali- fornia restaurants and fish markets. Much of the recent expansion in production has taken the form of frozen fillets which have proved to be of excellent quality. 36 , FISH AND GAME COMMISSION The fishery for sablefish has been essentially a line fishery and a considerable proportion of the catch it still made by set liners. The line fishery at Santa Cruz and Monterey accounted for over 2,400,000 pounds of the 1945 landings, and substantial catches were made by long-line fishermen operating in the Eureka region. An undesirable effect of the expansion of the trawl fishery in Northern California is that the drag nets take large quantities of immature sablefish which will result in damage to the breeding stock. The Eureka line fishery concentrates on the large mature fish inhabiting the deeper waters. Sablefish are valuable as fresh and frozen fillets, and as a smoked product. The livers are high in vitamin potency and command a good price. The cultus, formerly of minor importance in the line fishery, has also shared in the expansion of the trawling industry, but not to the extent of the rockfish and sablefish. Investigation of the Trawl Fishery: The trawl investigations, which were commenced when the sole and sand dab fisheries first showed signs of overfishing, suffered a temporary setback when personnel losses following the outbreak of the war curtailed our activities. However, information was collected on fishing methods and intensity and some biological data was collected. At the close of the biennium it was possible to assign adequate personnel to the problem. Our bottom fish resources are far from inexhaustible and it is necessary to formulate a sound con- servation policy in order to perpetuate them. OTHER INVESTIGATIONS Abalones: The abalone fishery has continued at the maximum level of production. Increased numbers of divers, many of them return- ing veterans with naval diving experience, have entered the industry. The fishery remains centered along the San Luis Obispo County coast. Changes in diving methods and areas and in the abundance of abalones have been followed by the Bureau. Recommendations for improved regulatory measures have been formulated. Oysters: The oyster industry has been at low ebb since the impor- tation of Japanese seed oysters came to an abrupt end in 1941. Only limited production has been possible. Resumption of shipments, which is expected in early 1947, will find both the growers and the Bureau of Marine Fisheries ready for the rebirth of the industry. Pismo Clam: The Pismo clam, choicest delicacy of Central and Southern California beaches, has become so scarce throughout the State that commercial and amateur diggers alike now have difficulty in obtain- ing worthwhile quantities. The local commercial take in 1945 was only 26,000 pounds. Nothing short of the most severe regulation can bring the Pismo clam back to even a semblance of its former great abundance. During the war, when canned foods were in heavy demand. Southern California canners imported Pismo clams from Mexico. The clam is abundant along the beaches of Lower California and a heavy production was possible. Shipments of shucked Pismo clams amounted to approxi- mately 1,470,000 pounds in 1944 and increased to 6,680,000 pounds in 1945. The latter figure represents a harvest of over 53,000,000 pounds in live weight. THIRTY-NINTH BIENNIAL REPORT 37 Pismo clam investigations were suspended during the war. However, one of our staff members was able to make a few observations on Mexican beaches while on vacation. Sea Lions: In response to an intensification of the usual com- plaints of sea lion depredations on fishing gear and fishery resources, the Bureau of Marine Fisheries in cooperation with the Bureau of Patrol made a survey of the numbers of sea lions present along the entire California coast in June, 1946. The assistance of the United States Navv in placing dirigibles and crews at our disposal is gratefully acknowledge. The survey revealed that sea lions have indeed increased sub- stantially in numbers since the last previous complete count, which was made in 1938. The 1946 survey listed 12,506 sea lions, an increase of 4,645. Of these, 7,338 were observed south of Point Conception. It is in Southern California that the greatest increase has taken place. Keafizing that the increase in numbers of sea lions constituted a menace to the fishing industry, the Bureau recommended that a reduc- tion in the herds was desirable. Undersea Oil Exploration : The ever-increasing demand for petro- leum products has led the oil industry to seek new deposits far from shore beneath the ocean bottom. Exploration methods involve the detona- tion of explosive charges under the surface of the water, with echoes of oil-bearing strata being picked up on sonic detection devices. Inasmuch as the use of explosives can cause damage to marine life, any undersea exploration is subject to regulation by the Fish and Game Commission. Supervision of the exploratory work insofar as it may affect the fisheries resources is the responsibility of the Bureau of Marine Fisheries. Not only have the operations been closely observed and supervised, but independent studies have been conducted to determine the effect of explosives on fish, mollusks, and crustaceans. These studies, which are the subject of a forthcoming publication, indicate that the use of explo- sives as conducted in oil surveys is only moderately harmful to marine life, and only within a restricted range. If the ' ' shots ' ' are buried under the sand, harmful effects are minimized, it was noted. As a result of these observations, the oil companies are required to operate only where fish are not abundant at the time, and furthermore they must bury their charges in the sand when operating in shallow water. Ocean Sportfishing : Deep sea sport fishing was greatly curtailed during the war, largely because of stringent security measures and to some extent because party boat operators and crews entered the armed forces or were engaged in commercial fishing. Activity increased in 1945 as security restrictions were lifted. By the spring of 1946 the sport fishery from San Francisco to San Diego was operating on a prewar scale. In fact, many new boats were built and newcomers to the business were eagerly reaping the golden harvest of postwar easy money. The bureau's survey of sport fishing boat catches was suspended until early 1946 when an increase in research personnel had made resumption possible. The interests of commercial fishermen and anglers overlap, as both groups fish in the same waters and for the same species of fish. Both commercial and sport fisheries have expanded at a sensational rate, the 38 FISH AND GAME COMMISSION former since about 1915, the latter since about 1925. During the past 15 years there has been an unfortunate but increasing feeling of bitter- ness between the two groups with many in either faction refusing to see the merit or necessity of the other. The Bureau of Marine Fisheries believes that this schism is neither desirable nor necessary, but that in fact the entire fishery is one and the same and there is room for all. In the commercial fisheries thousands of persons make their living in providing necessary food and other marine products for all the people. In the sport fishery hundreds of persons make their living as boat operators, and hundreds of thousands of people obtain the recreation which is so vital in these days when the pace of living literally kills. Hence it is with a sense of gratification that we can report that in 1946 members of the so-called conflicting interests were brought together and were able to compromise many of their differences. Under the guidance of their present capable leaders, the organized sportsmen and the commercial fishing industry should enjoy more harmonious rela- tions, to the benefit of the entire fishery. Fisheries Statistics : Good catch records are the basis of all fish- eries research and are a necessary part of any management program. California was a pioneer in establishing a comprehensive system for the collection and analysis of fisheries statistics. During the past few years every effort has been made to keep the system functioning in spite of the loss of clerical and field personnel. Although it was necessary to drop certain special reports, the basic material was collected and future analyses will be possible as we are able to obtain personnel. The com- mercial catch records suffered somewhat from a curtailment of field supervision but the loss of basic material is negligible ; the ocean sport catch survey suffered somewhat more. Experience has shown that fisheries statistics do not compile them- selves automatically. Constant pressure must be brought to bear on the dealers who are required to make the original reports and who often prefer to neglect them. Only experienced clerical personnel can build the raw records into finished reports, and such help has been heart- breakingly scarce. In spite of difficulties, the biennium ended with our catch reports in good shape ; the research and administrative staffs can refer to them with confidence. THIRTY-NINTH BIENNIAL REPORT 39 REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF FISH CONSERVATION The Bureau of Fish Conservation is charged with the problem of making investigations and performing activities which will further the conservation and propagation of fresh water fish of the State. Toward this end the Fish Conservation Bureau has compiled data which has been used as a guide in formulating regulations on bag limits and seasons for taking fish. Fish hatcheries have been operated and various species were l)lanted in many of our inland waters. A research staff was employed to obtain information used for the development of policies of operation, and to serve as a basis for conserva- tion and propagation procedures. The results of this research make it possible to base all activities of the bureau on sound biological investiga- tions and reports. The research staff has conducted surveys of streams and lakes, supervised the planting and rescuing of fish, compiled creel counts from catch records of fish taken by sportsmen and various other special investigations. Studies were continued on the effects of dams in waterways. Fish screens were maintained. Other studies included investi- gations regarding the "farm pond" program and also the results of fishing in tributaries of the Sacramento River as a consequence of the impounding of water at the Shasta Reservoir. CHANGES IN TROUT SEASON The end of the war in 1945, and the lifting of gasoline restrictions contributed to a tremendous increase in the purchase of fishing licenses. The demands for travel and recreation boosted the sale of licenses to approximately 500,000 for the year. This total exceeded the average license sales of 442,000 for the preceding four years by approximately 100,000. The greater proportion of the license sales in 1945 occurred in the few months following the termination of hostilities. Wartime increase in population was- a major factor in the increase of license sales but it is noteworthy that the percentage of total popula- tion buying angling licenses has also grown in recent years as shown by the following tabulation : POPULATION AND ANGLING LICENSE SALES Angling Percentage of population Year Population licenses buying licenses 1930 5,677,251 248,319 4.3 1940 6,907,387 388,472 5.6 1945 9,250,000* 554,025 5.9 * Estimated. The year 1943 was the last in which it was possible to carry on an annual creel census by sending postal card questionnaires to a random sample of licensed anglers. The number of licensed anglers remained relatively constant during the war years and the reported average catch of trout by successful anglers was 66 in 1941, 70 in 1942 and 75 in 1943. The estimated total 40 FISH AND GAME COMMISSION catch of trout by all anglers was between 15 and 16 million as compared to an estimated catcli of between 12 and 13 million prior to the war. Although the total production of hatchery reared trout was increased from 133,948 pounds in 1940 to 351,461 pounds in 1945 the increase was not equal to the increased drain upon the trout supply. It was evident from the rapid increase in angling license sales during the fall months of 1945 that the number of anglers in the field during 1946 might be as great as 700,000 and this has been verified by the pre- liminary figures as to license sales in 1946. With these facts in mind the bureau recommended to the commis- sion at the first regulatory meeting in January, 1946, that the bag limit on trout be reduced to 15 fish or 10 pounds and one fish. This recommen- dation was supported by most of the sportsmen 's organizations through- out the State except for its application to the bag limits for north coast steelhead streams. The commission authorized the regulation, making it state-wide, and it became effective with the opening of the trout season May 1, 1946.

A few temporary ponds using well water were put into operation at the San Gabriel site near AVliittier, Los Angeles County, in 1944. They were operated on an experimental basis to determine if the site was suit- able for a permanent installation. It was found that with aeration the water was satisfactory and, the temperature being approximately 60 degrees, the growth of the fish was rapid.
