References to the data, published in annual ichthyoplankton data reports are given in the introduction to the Atlas. In addition, these data are available in PDF format on the SWFSC web site at http://swfsc.noaa.gov/publications/swcpub/qryPublications.asp, enter "ichthyoplankton" in the Subject line and "California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations" in the Title line. Checking the ALL YEARS button will produce the entire list of available data.

The report for each year usually is published about 7-9 months after the fall cruise, and includes notes about nomenclature changes, etc. The ultimate goal is to update the old ichthyoplankton identifications to current standards; the database is updated as re- identifications for each cruise are completed.

MARCH, 1993 THE CALCOFI ATLAS SERIES

This is the thirty first in a series of atlases containing data on the hydrography and plankton from the region of the California Current. The field work was carried out by the California Cooperative Oceanic Fishcries Investigations,' a program sponsored by the following agencies: California Department of Fish and Game National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service' University of California, Scripps Institution of Oceanography

CalCOFI atlases3 are issued as individual units as they become available. They provide processed physical, chemical and biological measurements of the California Current region. Each number may contain one or more contributions. A general description of the CalCOFI program with its objectives appears in the preface of Atlas No. 2. CalCOFI Atlas Editorial Board: CalCOFI Coordinator: Michael M. Mullin George T. Hemingway Richard Neal Patricia Wolf

xv Table 2. Sampling effort in relation to distance from coast for north-south segments of the CalCOFI sampling pattern and for the entire pattern (”All”).Within each zone the percentage of total (31,214) station occupancies from stations 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120 to the coast is listed. See Figure 3 for map of the north-south segments.

These maps are designed to show essential details of the area most intensively studied by the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations. This is approximately the same area as is shown in color on the front cover. Geographical place names are those most commonly used in the various publications emerging from the research. The cardinal station lines extending southwestward from the coast are shown. They are 120 miles apart. Additional lines are utilized as needed and can be as closely spaced as 12 miles apart and still have individual numbers. The stations along the lines are numbered with respect to the station 60 line, the numbers increasing to the west and decreasing to the east. Most of them are 40 miles apart, and are numbered in groups of 10. This permits adding stations as close as 4 miles apart as needed. An example of the usual identification is 120.65. This station is on line 120, 20 nautical miles southwest of station 60. The projection of the front cover is Lambert's Azimuthal Equal Area Projection. The detail maps are a Mercator projection.
