I am currently researching the impacts of the ENSO impacts on the fisheries in the San Francisco Bay Area, and near shore Pacific waters. Any, any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I am having trouble finding any information relating to commercially sought species in the area. Much of the information relates to pinipeds, birds, and presence of unusual species outside of their normal ranges. Virtually no information can be found on the absence, or reduction of commercial species. NMFS site has been unproductive.

Incidentally, the herring season has been a bust for the fleet. Catches and roe counts are way down. Specifically interested in impacts on Dungenous Crab, Herring, Salmon, Urchins, local ground fish species.--Scott <AWOneWay@aol.com>.
