Inches groups contain fish that were from X to X.99 inches long. For example, inch group 9 means fish that are between 9 and 9.99 inches. Length distributions are available for the 5 most recent complete years on the Atlantic and Gulf coast. Pacific coast lengths will be added later. This was done so that distributions are not skewed by unrepresentative fishing modes, areas, or waves.
Waves are two-month sampling periods.
It does not include inland freshwater areas.
