by false color enhancement. The greener coast- 
al waters are represented by red, orange, and 
gold. The bluer, oceanic waters are colored blue 
and aqua. Circles overlaid on the image show 
the location and size of albacore catch for a 6- 
day period in 1981, demonstrating that most of 
the albacore were caught along the seaward 
COMMERCIAL AND OPERATIONAL USERS' PANEL 
side of the ocean-color boundaries. These prod- 
ucts were used, not only by commercial albacore 
fishermen, but also by commercial swordfish and 
salmon fishermen in Southern California. The avail- 
ability of real-time data from SeaWiFS will greatly en- 
hance the ability of these industries to improve their 
cost-effectiveness.
