THE PRESENT NOP POPULATION IS VERY HIGH, BEING ABOUT DOUBLE THE 3RD QUARTILE IN NUMBER AND WEIGHT. THE GILL NET CAPTURE INDICATES A PSD OF 19 AND AN RSD-28 OF ZERO. GROWTH OF INDIVIDUAL FISH IS NEAR AVERAGE, BUT IT APPEARS THAT MIGRATION OF ADULT FISH MAY OCCUR. BLG AND PMK WERE SAMPLED BUT THE NUMBERS ARE VERY LOW, BEING NEAR OR BELOW THE FIRST QUARTILE. PSD AND RSD VALUES WERE NOT INTERPRETED DUE TO SMALL SAMPLE SIZES. WAE AND LMB WERE NOT SAMPLED IN THE SURVEY BUT ARE KNOWN TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FISHERY. YEP ARE SLIGHTLY ABOVE MEDIAN IN NUMBERS, BUT BELOW MEDIAN IN WEIGHT. THE PERCH POPULATION HAS A PSD OF 100 AND AN RSD-8 OF ZERO.
