Length distributions (length)
as a percentage of catch (percent) for selected species of interest
collected by the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program. Fish species
are listed in phylogenetical order following Robins et al. (1991) nomenclature.
In some instances, meaningful biological interpretation of these distributions
may be limited by small sample size or size selectivity of the gear
(Anderson and Neumann 1996). Some fish histograms with small sample
sizes (<100) are included because of local interest, while others
were omitted (reach dependent). Scientific names for
the species listed can be found in Table 1.
