Perhaps the backbone of the Southern California sportfishery is the kelp and sand bass. TTntil the spring' of 1950, very little research work on these fishes had been done. At the present time an experimental tagging program is in effect and a total of more than 1,200 fish have been tagged. This venture is a cooper- ative one between several groups: the Bureau of Marine Fisheries, sport- boat owners, boat landing operators, live bait dealers, a tackle manu- facturer, the Southern Council of Conservation Clubs, and the Sporting Goods Dealers Association of the Los Angeles area. Only because of the friendly efforts of all of these groups, and many individuals as well, has it been possible to put on this tagging )irogram to the extent Figure 13. Tagging rock bass It is far too early to explain any definite results, although information is coming in at an unusual rate. In keeping with a policy .set up in the summer of 1948, the bureau has maintained monthly news releases summarizing- the marine sport- catch all along the California coast. The value of such a policy is mani- fold, but most important it does much to convince boat operators that they personally profit by keeping and sending in catch records that will be used as public Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
