^aFigures presented in the table denote the total number of boat trip samples selected for each species. Prior to 1991, a subsample (basket of fish) selected from a market category of a boat trip sample was composed of a fixed number of fish. From 1991 through the present, a subsample has consisted of a fixed weight of fish, with the exception of widow rockfish, for which fixed-weight subsamples have been selected since 1989.

^bA year with a missing value denotes no biological samples were collected for the given species.
