Reports

The results presented here are the tabular Catch-per-Unit-gffort (CPUE) Virginia trawl data for young of the year and yearling finfish from the inception date of the survey (1954) to the present.

These data will also be the basis for developing a Virginia juvenile finfish index in 1989-1990.
