This was the second of four cruises to attempt the assessment of â The survey was conducted in the area along the â¢^ young sardines from the 1953 spawning, coast of northern Baja California from Point Eugenia to the Mexican Bound- ary, reports an October 6 release from that agency. There appears to be more sar- dines north of Pta. Baja and fewer in Sebastian Vizcaino Bay in 1953 than in 1952, thus the sardine seems to be distributed slightly more to the north. In Sebastian Vizcaino Bay round herring were very numerous. Ancho- vies were scarce in this area but were more abundant to the north. There is evidence of a fair 1953-year- class of Pacific mackerel in Sebastian Vizcaino Bay and to the south, but there is a scarcity north of Pta. Baja. Jack mackerel appeared intermittently throughout the entire area surveyed. The Yellowfin traveled a total of 351 miles while scouting for fish, and observed 210 schools--it was esti- mated that 35 contained sardines, 33 anchovies, 15 jack mackerel, and 10 Pacific mackerel. Seventy-four light stations were occupied yielding 21 samples of sardines, 25 of anchovies, 14 of jack mackerel, and 8 of Pacific mackerel. Of the 21 samples of sar- dines collected, seven contained sar- dines less than 125-mm. standard length. Twenty-eight percent of the light stations yielded sardines. In this same area during the 1952 survey 27 percent of the light sta- tions yielded LEGEND ⢠Adult Bardinee o 0-year class sardines â Jack mackerel A Pacific mackerel X Anchovies Route of cruise M/V yellowfin cruise 53-Y-8, AUG. 31-SEPT.
