ANGLER IDENTIFICATION OF MARINE FISHES 45 monds, Mukilteo, and Seabeek on Hood Canal. Juan de Fuca Strait anglers were contacted at Freshwater Bay, Crescent Bay, Sekiu, and Neah Bay. The coastal sites were Ilwaco and Westport. There was no indication tliat an individual participated in tlio survey more than once. Specimens All of the fishes used were included specifically or categorically in Clark's (1962) survey. Half of tlie salmon and all of the other speci- mens were collected by angling in Puget Sound. The other salmon were obtained from purse seine vessels at West Beach off northwest Whidbey Island. The nonsalmonid fishes used, except the shiner perch (Cymafogasfer 0{/i/''<^'{/fl'/«), are commonly taken incidentally by Washington salmon anglers. Average lengths (Table 1) were weighted by the number of anglers attempting to identify the various sized specimens. The mini- mum legal total length for Washington sport-caught salmon is 16 inches (37 cm fl) on Puget Sound and 20 inches (46 cm fl) off the coast and on western Juan de Fuca Strait. The salmon were dressed as soon as practical, by removing viscera and gills without severing the isthmus. Care was taken to keep scales intact. The other fishes were not dressed. Specimens not used immedi- ately were wrapped in plastic and aluminum foil and stored in a freezer. The nonsalmonid fishes were often collected on the day of the survey. Specimens were used a maximum of two days and were kept on ice during this FIGURE 1—Typical display of survey specimens. Photograph by Ronald E.
