CA Regulations / Re: Groundfish Management: Inseason Adjustments - Pacific Fishery Management Council

Very different numbers if you include other "groundfish" species (like Lingcod), might be the reason for the discrepancy.
I had posted annual commercial takes for the US in another thread and it was very flat for the last 20 years. But the NOAA also allows you to query their databases and you can pull up by state / species. So I queried California, last 15 years, all species of rockfish. The results were eye opening. Commercial rockfish take is climbing very rapidly. Columns are Pounds, Tons, $.
I'm getting different numbers when I run the query, using this page, https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/foss/f?p=215:200

Same here. Attached is the table that I see. Harvest was much higher until 2003 and then dropped dramatically and has stayed pretty steady since. Note that I did not include all years for clarity. This is a great site by the way. Thanks sandwg for posting it.
