Pelagic fisheries include those with species that live in the open ocean, both close to shore (coastal pelagic species) and farther offshore (highly migratory species). Coastal pelagic species in California include: Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax caerulea) Northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) Pacific mackerel (Scomber japonicus) Jack mackerel (Trachurus symmetricus) Market squid (Doryteuthis (Loligo) opalescens) California’s highly migratory species include: Tunas Bigeye (Thunnus obesus) Pacific bluefin (Thunnus orientalis) North Pacific albacore (Thunnus alalunga) Skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis) Yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) Pelagic Sharks Blue (Prionace glauca) Common thresher (Alopias vulpinus) Shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) White (Carcharodon carcharias) Billfishes Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) Striped marlin (Kajikia audax)
