Figure 6.— Monthly CPUE for sailfish from 

 the longline fishery and recreational fishery 

 in the three major fishing areas in the north- 

 em Gulf of Mexico, 1971-78. Longline CPUE 

 depicted for Panhandle and New Orleans 

 were derived from data taken from the 5° 

 square labeled II in Figure 3. CPUE for Texas 

 was taken from the 5° square labeled IV in 

 Figure 3. The first month depicted on the 

 abscissa is March (M) 1971. CPUE is in num- 

 bers of fish caught per 1,000 hooks in the 

 longline fishery. The Tournament panel dis- 

 plays CPUE calculated from billfish fishing 

 tournaments while the panel labeled Dock 

 shows CPUE derived from noncompetitive 

 fishing.
