The purpose of this publication is to give some explanation, fragmentary though it may be, of the 270 ports where commercially caught fish have been landed in California during the 21-year period 1931 through 1951. For each port of any consequence, we have attempted to indicate its location, history, fish handling facilities, volume of landings, species delivered and brief notes on its sport fishing opportunities. Notes were gathered in 1952 and the first half of 1953.
