Figure 5.— Monthly CPUE for white marlin 

 from the longline fishery and the recreational 

 fishery in the three major fishing areas in the 

 northern Gulf of Mexico, 1971-78. Longline 

 CPUE depicted for Panhandle and New Or- 

 leans were derived from data taken from the 

 5° square labeled II in Figure 3. CPUE for 

 Texas was taken from the 5° 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 and numbers offish hooked 

 per 100 hours fished in the recreational 

 fishery. The Tournament panel displays 

 CPUE calculated fi-om billfish fishing tour- 

 naments while the panel labeled Dock shows 

 CPUE derived from noncompetitive fishing.
