aData type denotes the type of fishery that samples were collected from: C is commercial fishery, and S is sport (recreational) fishery.

bSpecies abbreviations are as follows: "Grs. rockfish" is greenstriped rockfish; "ywm. rockfish" is yellowmouth rockfish; "whs. greenling" is whitespotted greenling; and "surfperch, unident." is unidentified surfperch.

cAge method denotes the structure that was used to determine the age of the specimen: N is not aged, O is otolith, I is interopercle, F is fin ray, and S is scale.

dTime period represents the beginning and ending year of the dataset, although data may not be available from each year in the period.

eThe PSMFC area denotes the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission area. The coastal regions of the Pacific Ocean are partitioned into the PSMFC areas (geographical units) for monitoring and management purposes.

fSPC areas denote sport punch card areas, which are statistical catch reporting areas for recreational fisheries.
