Gill net fishing activity can trigger herring to spawn prematurely in deep water or on herring nets. Such spawning may affect the survival of herring eggs and subsequent year class strength. These spawns are not included in spawn escapement estimates, thus affecting biomass estimates and catch quotas. The FGC felt that this action was in the best interest of the fishery. A test boat program, described later, also placed restrictions on round haul vessels fishing in the same holding area. Congestion Congestion on the fishing grounds and at dockside during unloading op)erations is a serious problem. It has been compounded by the two different gear types used in the fishery and the need to unload quickly and return to the fishing grounds before a spawning run ends. Limited entry controlled the number of herring permits, but many new problems surfaced that have precipitated the following regulations. Gear Limits. Purse seines and lampara nets are limited to a maximum length of 240 fm (439 m) with no depth restriction. In San Francisco Bay gill net permittees are limited to 2 shackles of 65 fm (119 m) each. In Tomales Bay the gill net limit is 195 fm (357 m). Assigned Fishing Days. Purse seine vessels were allowed to fish only Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday in the 1977-78 season. In the 1978-79 season, lamparas were. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have
