Abstract
  • Catch data for albacore troll boats were collected from fishermen's logbooks and from dockside interviews during the 1968, 1969, and 1970 seasons. Fishing powers of these boats were calculated and used to determine the 10 most successful and 10 least successful fishermen (highliners and lowliners, respectively) who fished off Oregon and Washington. Characteristics of these two groups of fishermen were then compared. In general, highliners had longer boats and fished nearer the fleet center and along the offshore margin of the fleet. Lowliners tended to have smaller boats and fished along the trailing (south) inshore margin of the fleet. Both groups responded to changes in apparent albacore abundance by aggregating on days of high apparent abundance, although this response was less pronounced in 1969 and 1970. Highliners caught significantly smaller (but more) fish than the lowliners.
