• Description:
  Bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) were ranked number one by weight of total recreational landings of marine species in the latest national angling survey (Deuel, 1973). The majority are caught during the summer and fa 11 a long the Middle Atlantic coas·t between Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod. They appear to be particularly abundant along the New Jersey and New York coasts where nearly one-fourth of the entire United States commercial sportfishing fleet is concentrated (Fraser et al., 1977). Along the Middle Atlantic coast party- or charter-boat anglers account for over 50% of the total bluefish catch (Deuel, 1973).
