"Catch and effort statistics for the Strait of Georgia tidal sport fishery are presented for each month in 1992. The statistics were derived by combining the data from 29,000 interviews and 53 aerial surveys. Anglers conducted an estimated 468,000 boat trips and kept 596,000 coho, 117,000 chinook, 19,000 pink, 7,000 sockeye and 6,000 chum salmon, as well as 136,000 rockfish and 6,000 lingcod. Among salmon examined for marks, 6.1 % of chinook and 3.4% of coho had adipose fin clips. The chinook catch consisted of 7% age 2 fish, 58% age 3 fish, 30% age 4 and 5% age 5 and older fish. The length frequency distributions of the chinook, coho and lingcod catches are also given"--Abstract, page vii.
