In 2025, the last full year of PacFIN data, West Coast commercial fishermen landed 1.2 million pounds of bocaccio worth $755 thousand, averaging $0.63 per pound. Ex-vessel value fell 19% from 2024, while average price per pound rose 9%. Ranked by total catch value, bocaccio is 37th among the 263 species and species groups reported to PacFIN and tracked by Cormorant.
Oregon and Washington landings of bocaccio total less than 1% of ex-vessel value (or are confidential) and are not charted.
Bocaccio is overwhelmingly a California fishery (99% of 2025 ex-vessel value), with minor landings in Oregon and Washington. It was landed in 17 of the 19 PacFIN port areas, from Northern Puget Sound, Washington, south to San Diego, California. Monterey led all port areas with 34% of value.
Port areas ranked by ex-vessel value with landed weight and price per pound.
3 port areas had only confidential bocaccio data and are excluded from these rankings.
Bocaccio is landed through much of the year, but 75% of 2025 landed pounds came in March–October, with July the busiest month.
In 2025, the largest share of bocaccio ex-vessel value came from hook and line (48%), followed by trawl gear (44%), based on PacFIN gear-group landings.
