Table 15. — Species composition, southern New 



Jersey ocean party- and charter-boat 



fisheries, 1954 



unavailable; however, table 16 furnishes 

 some measure for all species combined. 

 Since there was no record, of the number of 

 hours fished, further effort data cannot be 

 calculated. A report by Younger and Zamos 

 (1955) reviews the marine sport fishery in 

 New Jersey, but contains no further infor- 

 mation on the southern New Jersey fishery.

Ocean sport-fishing fleets in Delaware
