The data for this report are deri^•ed from the California ]iink ticket .system, wliicii has been well documented (California IJurean of Marine Fisheries, 1952) and consists of iish receipts (pink) filled in by the d(>aler at the time he purchases fisli from tlie fishermen. The tickets list the variety of fish, pounds landed, and block area of catch. Block areas are K) nnnutes of latitude by 10 miirates of lonpitude (Figure 3). At times, dealers do not enter the catch areas, but during the sardine season "checkers" are employed by the Department to interview the vessel captain at time of uidoading and insure that all data concerning each catch are on a special checkcn-'s ticket. The system is also supple- mented by scientific personnel who interview the vessel captains when sampling sardine catches (Figure 4). The 1963-64 season catch localities off: California consisted of three major areas: the central California coast from iMonterey Bay to Point Lopez; the southern California coastal area off San Pedro; and the off- shore islands of southern California (Figure 3). The catch origins cor- respond quite well to an eaidy analysis by Clark (1937), in which most fisli Avere taken within 3-5 miles of shore and in areas shallower than 500 fathoms. To examine major shifts in areas of catch, tonnages for individual l)h)cks have been grouped into general fishing areas (Table 11). Season and interseason ton
