Submission of U.S. fishery statistics for the Eastern Pacific Ocean to the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission for 2003 and 2004

"This is the first formal submission of U.S. fishery statistics by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (Fisheries), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) to the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). As specified by IATTC Resolution C-03-05, catch and effort (or logbook) statistics for 2003 and 2004 and size composition statistics for 2004 are submitted. The catch and effort data, which are for longline fishing, are provided at Level 3, the international standard for such data. Also provided are estimated annual landings in weight by species for 2004, as requested at the first IATTC Meeting for the Review of Fishery Statistics in April 2005. The methods used in compiling the three categories of fishery statistics and other specifics are described below. The definition of eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) used in compiling these statistics is from 150° W longitude eastward to the American coast, without northern or southern boundaries. The only Pacific Island-based fishery that fishes in the EPO is the Hawaii-based tuna longline fishery. All statistics were compiled by year the catch was landed (2003 and 2004) regardless of the year the gear was set."--Page 1. Robert A. Skillman. "Issued 15 July 2005." "These statistics were prepared by Russell Ito, Frederick Dowdell, and Craig Graham in the Fishery Monitoring and Socio-Economics Division and Karen Sender in the Information Technology Services group at the PIFSC."

本数据集为美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）下属国家海洋渔业局（National Marine Fisheries Service, NMFS，文中亦称Fisheries）、太平洋岛屿渔业科学中心（Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, PIFSC）首次正式向美洲热带金枪鱼委员会（Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission, IATTC）提交的渔业统计数据。
根据IATTC第C-03-05号决议要求，本次提交了2003年与2004年的捕捞与作业（或日志）统计数据，以及2004年的种群体长组成统计数据。其中延绳钓渔业的捕捞与作业数据采用国际通用的三级标准（Level 3）格式提供。同时按照2005年4月IATTC首次渔业统计审查会议的要求，同步提供了2004年按物种分类的年度估算捕捞重量数据。
下文将详述三类渔业统计数据的编制方法及其他相关细节。本次统计所采用的东太平洋（Eastern Pacific Ocean, EPO）范围定义为：西经150°以东至美洲沿岸海域，未设置南北边界限制。在东太平洋海域开展作业的太平洋岛屿籍渔业仅为夏威夷籍金枪鱼延绳钓渔业。所有统计数据均按照捕捞上岸年份（2003年与2004年）编制，而非渔具投放年份。
