Tlie bureau conducts biological and statistical studies of the marine sport and commercial fisheries; and with the information thus grathered and analyzed, is able to make recommendations to the Fish and Game Commission and the Leirislature for wise conservation measures. In order to maintain an ever-expanding' fisliery which is exploiting an ever-shrinking resource, the bureau's research efforts have been redoubled, and our staff is constantly seeking the answers to the perplex- ing problems of changing abundance. With the return of many staff members, and the research vessel from war service, and with the addition of new research men, we are now able to carry on our program on some- thing like the scale that the demands of the fishery require. Califoi-iiia's ocean commercial and sport fisheries still lead those of all the otiier states. While the sport fisliery increased by leaps and bounds following wartime curtailment, the commercial fishery declined consid- erably in volume during the biennium. However, the value in dollars continued to rise.. IJ^IJ^J.- Value and poundage of California commercial fish catch, 1939-1947. Value represents amount paid to the fi.shermen at time of delivery. Note how values have con- tinued to increase while catches have dropped.
