Abstract should not exceed one double-spaced page and

Text style will in general follow that of the U.S. Department
of Commerce (NOAA) Fishery Bulletin. Contributors who are
not familiar with this publication will do well to follow The
Chicago Manual .f Style (1982). Authors are strongly urged to
compare their typewritten equations with similar expressions
in the printed literature, with special attention to ambiguity of
the symbols for “one” and for “el,” before submitting. Whenever
possible, write in the first person, and use active verbs.
Measurements must be given in metric units; other equivalent
units may be given in parentheses.
Personal communications and unpublished data should not be
included in the Literature Cited but may be cited in the text in
parentheses. Usefootnotes only when parentheses will not suffice.
List footnotes on a separate sheet.
Literature cited should appear in the text as Smith (1972) or
Smith and Jones (1972) or (Smith and Jones 1972; Jones and
Smith 1973) or Smith et al. (1972). All literature referred to in
the text should be listed (double-spaced) alphabetically by the
first author on a separate sheet under the heading Literature
Cited. Only the authors’ surnames and initials will be used. No
citation should appear in the list of Literature Cited unless it is
cited in the text, tables, or figure captions. Each citation must
be complete according to the following:
(article):
Eppley, R. W., E. H. Renger, E. L. Venrick, andM. M. Mullin. 1973.
A study of plankton dynamics and nutrient cycling in the central
gyre of the North Pacific Ocean. Limnol. Oceanogr. 18(4):543-551.
(book):
Odum, E. P. 1959. Fundamentals of ecology. 2d ed. Philadelphia:
Saunders, 546 pp.
(chapter):
Wooster, W. S., and J. L. Reid, Jr. 1963. Eastern boundary currents. It,
The sea, M. N. Hill, ed. New York: Interscience Pub. pp. 253-280.
Tables (with arabic numbers) should be typed (doublespaced)
separately from the text; each table should start on a
separate page and must have a brief title. Please avoid vertical
rules and be consistent in format.
Figures, whether drawings or halftones, should be submitted
in a format not larger than 8% X 11”. Submit one set of
camera-ready figures plus 2 sets of copies. Photographs should
be printed on glossy paper. Drawings should be reduced photographically.
A composite figure should be submitted as a
single photograph or at least as a single careful paste-up. Figures
will appear as either single-column (85-mm-width limit), or
double-column (178-mm-width limit); or as full page. Special
cases should be discussed with the editor before submittal.
After reduction, no letter or number should be smaller than 1
mm. Special note should be taken of the disappearance of decimal
points during reduction. If commercially prepared shading
is used, make a trial reduction to ensure that the patterns do not
merge at the required reductions. The determining factor for
size should be the complexity of detail to be shown.
Each figure must have a caption; captions should be typed,
double-spaced, in numbered sequence on a separate sheet.
Illustrative materials submitted for publication are often first
prepared for oral presentation in slide format. Authors should
take special care that slide-format material submitted to Cal-
COFI Reports is appropriate to printed format with respect to
economy, redundancy, and style.
Acknowledgments, if included, should be placed at the end of
the text and may include funding source.
Reprint orders will be mailed (to senior author only) on publication
of the completed book. No covers will be supplied, and
there will be no further reproduction.
The CalCOFI Reports will use the CalCOFI Atlas full-page
chart format where the material would be best used overlaid on
the CalCOFI Atlas charts for purposes of comparison and
where the material presented is of insufficient scope and quantity
to warrant the publication of an atlas.
The CalCOFI Editorial Board will consider for publication,
in the section entitled “Scientific Contributions, ” manuscripts
not previously published elsewhere that bear some relationship
to the following with respect to the Californias, the California
Current, and the Gulf of California:
marine organisms
marine chemistry, fertility, and food chains
marine fishery modeling, prediction, policy, and management
marine climatology, paleoclimatology, ecology, and paleoecology
marine pollution
physical, chemical, and biological oceanography
new marine instrumentation and methods.
