California's popular red abalone sport fishery season will open April 1 in waters north of San Francisco Bay. Anyone who takes abalone must record their catch on an abalone report card and tag the animal with tags corresponding to the report card.
Abalone report cards have greatly increased the consistency of our annual take estimates are a vital source of information needed to manage this resource.
Everyone engaging in the take of abalone is responsible for knowing and abiding by all California marine sport fishing regulations pertaining to abalone. DFG produced a short video that demonstrates the required tagging procedures.
