Studied sea surface temperatures and albacore 

 landings for the period 1947 to 1960. Warm- 

 water years were better for catch but did not 

 ensure good fishing. Cold-water years were 

 detriminal to fishing success. Fluctuations 

 in landings were results of yearly variation 

 in abundance and variability and were not 

 related to fishing.

California current influenced the distribu- 

 tion of albacore: when the flow was strong 

 albacores' southern limit was farther south, 

 when weak the southern limit was farther 

 north. Isotherms coincided with the fishery 

 at its north and south limits. Atmospheric 

 changes influenced sea conditions and pro- 

 duced temperature anomalies which were re- 

 flected in albacore distributions.
