Length distributions as a percentage of catch for selected species of interest collected by the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program. Fish species are listed in phylogenetical order following Robins et al. (1991) nomenclature. In some instances, meaningful biological interpretation of these distributions may be limited by small sample size or size selectivity of the gear (Anderson and Neumann 1996). Some fish histograms with small sample sizes (<100) are included because of local interest, while others were omitted (reach dependent). Scientific names for the species listed can be found in Table 1.
