      <abstract>The basic 10 minute grid was created using the ARC/INFO generate fishnet command. The input coordinates were in decimal degrees and the resultant coverage was subsequently projected into Teale Albers. The coastline derived from the 1:100K hydrology was incorporated to the 10 minute grid. The trawl logbook developed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the States of Washington, Oregon, and California, and the National Marine Fisheries Service was used as the reference. Many grids, therefore, are 30' x 30' or larger or are partial representations of a 10' grid. Islands, bays, deltas and estuarine waters that occurred in the 1:100K hydrology were included in the coverage. Any features not in fishable waters were given an ID of zero. All other features correspond to the ID shown in the Trawl Logbook. The field containing the ID is called block10-id.</abstract>
      <purpose>Commercial fishing reporting blocks for the state of California. In 1933 the Division of Fish and Game divided the ocean waters of the state into sections, or blocks. Each block was approximately ten miles square, using the longitude and latitude lines so that each block was ten minutes of longitude and ten minutes of latitude. This system was carried out to about fifty miles from shore. Beyond this was constructed one row of blocks thirty minutes of longitude and thirty minutes of latitude to take care of any extension of fishing grounds. For more information see: Bureau of Commercial Fisheries. 1935. Fish Bulletin No. 44. The Commercial Fish Catch of California for the Years 1930-1934, Inclusive.</purpose>

</eadetcit>
      <eadetcit>Sample Trawl Data						

Year: 1992						


Trawl data relates to the caltrawl coverage by block number.						

caltrawl.pat:Block10-id ---&gt; caltrawl.dat:Block						
		(ONE		TO 		MANY)

Each record in the caltrawl.dat file is a 'trawl event'.						
A 'trawl event' is the dropping and hauling in of a net.						

There may be many events per 'fishing trip'.  Each 'trawl
"event' is given a ""drag_nbr"" in the table. This indicates"
the sequence of events. 

"In general, if you group the vessel ID and Port for particular"
"departure time and date, this would be a 'fishing trip'."

This would likely show a number of 'trawl events' as indicated 
"by the sequential ""drag_nbr""'s."

The table may be queried in many ways and related back to the
caltrawl coverage to show which blocks satified the query(s).

Whenever your end query has repeated block ids or ONE --&gt; MANY
you must choose to link the tables (ArcView / ARC-INFO).

"If your end query has non-repeating block ids, you can opt"
to join the resultant table back to the coverage.

The advantage to ending up with a joined situation is that
in ArcView the 'Theme' then can be easily classified.
"For instance, green shade for less harvesting and red for"
heavy harvesting etc....
