  • These data describe landings and fishing effort for the CA commercial spiny lobster fishery. Data are contained in two tables: 1) a time series collected by the California Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) of lobster catch (kg) and effort (lobster tarp pulls) by year (1998-2020) and location (geographic fishery blocks). Catch is recorded and reported to CDFW by fish processors (buyers) with “fish tickets”. Trap pulls are recorded and reported by fishermen with logbooks. 2) The number of traps counted in the water at increasing distances from the boundary of marine reserves, three reserves located in the northern region of the fishery and three from the southern region of the fishery, in November 2022.
