FISHERIES OF CALIFORNIA IN 1920. 



Through the courtesy of the California State Fish and Game 

 Commission the Bureau has received copies of its monthly sheets 

 showing the catch of fish by species and by localities for the calendar 

 year 1920. In the appended table, page 57, these figures have been 

 compiled by months and by species, such an arrangement being of 

 value in ascertaining seasonal variation in catch. There has also 

 been added a table, page 59, of the imports of fresh fish from Mexico 

 to California centers during 1920.
