AND 2002 Sport Abalone Catch - Top Ten Sites
A report card for the California recreational red abalone fishery was established in 2000, requiring pickers to record catch and effort, including date and location of catches. Beginning with the 2002 abalone season, Department biologists determined that a combination of returned cards and a random telephone survey would be the best way to estimate catch and effort, given that only a portion of the cards purchased are returned to the Department. Abalone catch and effort estimates for the 2002 season are available in the report included on this Web site, which was published in the Department's peer-reviewed journal, Fish and Game.
