PART 1REVIEW OF ACTIVITIESJuly 1,1963-June 30,1966INTRODUCTIONIt has become increasingly apparent that the policyof the CalCOFI has been a valid and valuable onethatthe intensive long-term study of the CaliforniaCurrent has constituted a nucleus and raison d’6treof an expanding research and technology of greaterdepth, field and compass in the North Pacific. Thenature of these expanded portions of the programare discussed later in the reports of agencies.The CalCOFI Committee is deeply involved withits fundamental objectives and with reappraisal ofthe direction that the CalCOFI should now take.This reappraisal is necessitated by the delineationof unutilized fish resources of the eastern NorthPacific and the initiation of a fishery one of thesetheanchovy.The philosophical, scientific, and politico-economicfactors pertinent to this reappraisal cannot be competentlydiscussed here. However, the crucial questionscan be reasonably well formulated as follows :Are the long-term needs of the state, society, andmankind best served at this juncture by a concentrationof research on the anchovy and its fishery orby a continued expansion of the research into thetotal environment ?The resolution of this problem depends upon avalid understanding of the evolving position of California; its changing responsibilities to its peopleand to its challenges and opportunities; and the presentand potential contribution of the CalCOFI to theState.On the one hand, as a result of CalCOFI research,we have the opportunity of reestablishing a reductionfishery of some magnitude. On the other hand, we havethe demonstrated, suspected, and as yet unrecognizedopportunities and implications of the Pacific and ofthe expanding research into it, of which the anchovyfishery is an early product.Clearly the rational solution to these mutually exclusiveextremes is an optimum attention to each-ajuste milieu in which the anchovy fishery is substantiallydocumented and studied and, at the same time,the research continues to be directed toward a broadscaleinquiry into the eastern North Pacific, its oceanography,zoogeography, history and fish populations.BACKGROUNDThe CalCOFI program, thus, plans a thoroughcoverage of the California Current system each threeREPORT OF THE CALCOFI COMMITTEEyears (1969 next), and a continuing expansion ofthe several programs, descriptions of which follow.Early in 1966 the CalCOFI Committee, in a letterto the Chairman of the Marine Research Committee,outlined the history, accomplishments, and status ofthe CalCOFI research program in simple, brief, factualterms. The 13 points, to which we referred as“a few of the many unshakeable pillars of certainty”,were :(1) The CalCOFI program was established as a broad andthoughtful inquiry into the environment and the biologyof the California Current system.(2) An object of the program was to clarify the nature ofthe decline of sardine abundance and to understand thenature of the other organisms associated with the sardinein the California Current system.(3) Organizationally, the CalCOFI is established as a groupof cooperative research programs responsible to theseobjectives and subject to the review of their progressby the Marine Research Committee, a highly selectedgroup of interested, practical men.(4) As will be enumerated below, this arrangement hasproven to be extremely successful and rewarding. Therapport between men of scientific and practical bentshas, we believe, been unique. There has been neitherconstraint, on the one hand, nor lack of direction, onthe other but rather an almost wholly unprecedentedbalance between the two where the scientist has beenable to work with “responsible freedom” and where he,the MRC and the public have been highly rewarded.(5) The oceanography, the biology of the California Currentsystem, and the variations in these are now thebest documented and best understood of any oceanicarea in the world.(6) The understanding of fish populations, biology and resourcepotential through studies of eggs, larval andadults of pelagic fishes are the most highly advancedof any.(7) Wholly new technologies of studies of pelagic fish havebeen developed and are of far-reaching, world-wide import.(8) Entrees into the pre-fishery history of the pelagic fishpopulations and environments have been developed andare of great local and world-wide significance.(9) The populations of a large group of pelagic fish havebeen determined, studied, and understood to a degreethat far surpasses any similar studies in the w-orld.The interrelations between competing species of pelagicfishes have been characterized for the first time in history.Possibility of n pelagic fishery has been pointed outand the fishery has been established, in which there is afar greater fund of scientific understanding and knowledgeavailable at its outset than for any other pelagicfishery in the history of man.A program exists that is ably discharging its full responsibilitiesboth present and future in cooperativeresearch.
