This conpled with the occurrence of larger fish at Monterey might suggest that anchovies in- crease in size northward along the California coast. Very small anchovies, however, were also taken in the neighborhood of Hueneme and fish be- tween 140 and 160 mm. occurred as far south as Oceanside. From the data at hand, therefore, the reasons for the size differences between Monterey and Southern California samples are not clear. They may result from a faster growth rate in Central California, from incomplete sampling or from the fact that the bait fishermen operate closer to shore than do the Monterey fishermen. As at Monterey the females in the Southern California samples attain a larger size than the males, the maximums being 166 and 160, mm., respectively. The ratio of females to males was at Monterey and in Southern California. For the entire Pacific Coast McHugh's (1951, table 1) data indicate a ratio of Weight-Length Relationship Calculations of the relation between weight and length were based on the average weight and the average length of each sample. There were 77 samples from Monterey and 17 from Southern California for which weights were available. These gave for Monterey a formula for the.
