Abstract

The California barracuda, Sphyraena argentea, has been fished commercially for over 70 years. Peak landings were made during the early 1920's and have since declined to an incidental level. The present interest in barracuda centers around its desirability as a game species. Recent estimates of barracuda abundance indicate the population is at a low level and in need of increased management efforts. (21pp.)
