Brown Jr. Governor of the State of California Sacramento, California Dear Governor Brown : We have the honor to submit the seventeenth report of the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations. The report consists of four sections. The first contains a review of the administrative and research activities during the period 1 July 1971 to 30 June 1973, a description of the fisheries, and a list of pub1 ications arising from the programs. The second section consists of papers presented at two symposia, "Large scale aperiodic fluctuations in the Pacific Ocean" and "New challenges to accepted dogmas about productivity in the sea," held in November 1971. Participants in the symposia included key members of the scientific community who provided new insight to some fundamental oceanographic problems. The third section consists of papers presented at a symposium, "Oceanography and fisheries of Baja California waters," held in November 1972, which brought together members of the scientific com- munities and governmental agencies of California and Mexico. This symposium demonstrated the spirit prevailing in the informal cooperative research programs that have been initiated between CalCOFI agencies, Instituto Nacional de Pesca of Mexico, and the Instituto de Investi- gaciones Oceanol ogicas, Universidad Autonoma de Baja California. The fourth section consists of scientific contributions which are either a direct result of CalCOFI research programs or represent research directly pertinent to the living marine resources of California.

CALIFORNIA MARINE FISH LANDINGS FOR 1972 LEO PINKAS Marine Resources Region 1.1. INTRODUCTION The protection, propagation, and wise utilization of California's living marine resources (established as common property by statute, Section 1600, Fish and Game Code) is dependent upon the welding of biological, environment- al, economic, and sociological factors. Fundamental to each of these factors, as well as the entire management pro- cess, are harvest records. The California Department of Fish and Game began gathering commercial fisheries land- ing data in 1916. Commercial fish catches were first published in 1929 for the years 1926 and 1927. This report, the 32nd in the landing series, is for the calendar year 1972. It summarizes commercial fishing activities in marine as well as fresh waters and includes the catches of the sportfishing partyboat fleet. Preliminary landing data are published annually in the circular series which also enumerates certain fishery products produced from the catch.

She helped create a love for functional morphology and fishes, and gave me a chance when needed most. To Dr. Greg Cailliet, who in his own right is a gift to life learning, I am truly grateful to have worked on this thesis with him. It has been an academic and emotional adventure that has left me a better person due to his influence and guidance. Dr. Peter Wainwright was instrumental in providing valuable comments and time spent pouring over my dataset. This thesis or dream of becoming a marine scientist would also not have been possible without the amazing support of Dr. Pam Roe. Gratitude for her efforts in processing paperwork, valuable edits and comments, and overall passion and enthusiasm for science will never fully be adequately expressed in words. To all my friends and cohorts at MLML for countless hours working late nights, playing foosball, having wonderful dinner parties, scuba diving, helping each other with our research, and just being there for one another, I thank you. To all the MLML staff and faculty, you truly made this experience special and unforgettable. Special thanks to Kenneth Coale, who has been a great leader, friend and teacher.
