During recent years when fishing was poor in Monterey and San Fran- 

 cisco, some of the northern plants had fish trucked north from southern 

 California, All fish taken south of Point Conception were included with 

 the San Pedro catch totals, even though they were delivered to another 

 port. The practice of trucking fish north was initiated in the 19U6-U7 



season.
