Oceanside. Landings of red urchins at Oceanside only account for 2.2 percent of the commercial value.

Lobster accounted for 42.5 percent of the value of the total catch at the San Diego port, and lobster and

combined red urchin accounted for 83.7 percent of the value of the total catch. Thus, lobster landings at

Oceanside were by far the most valuable resource for local fisherman while lobster and red urchin are

about equal for the San Diego area.

It is important to note how relatively large the lobster and urchin fisheries are in relation to other San Diego

area fisheries. As shown in Table 3.8-11, lobster and urchins were the only species whose ex-vessel value

was in excess of million over the period 1981-1998. The next most valuable species for the same

period was well under million.

Other important commercial species for San Diego County include rock crabs (various species of Cancer

spp.) which ranked third in value ( ||content|| .6 million), California halibut which ranked 4th ( ||content|| .4 million), and

abalone (all species of Haliotis spp.) ranked 5th ( ||content|| .0 million). Few red urchins are landed at Oceanside,

so rock crab and halibut ranked second and third in value at this port, respectively. These three species
