The Hawaii - California Longline Limited-entry Fishery Quarterly Report 1 July - 30 September, 2017

This quarterly report for the period 1 July - 30 September, 2017, contains summary data summaries of fishing effort and catch statistics as reported on longline log sheets for the Hawaii - California longline limited-entry fishery. Data in this report originate from the PIFSC Information Management System (Oracle) table LLDS_REPORT_STATS_RFMO_HC, representing preliminary data received as of 15 March 2018. Catch and effort statistics are based on date of longline haul. When a statistic (number of vessels, trips) involves dates of haul in two summary periods (i.e., years, semi-annual, quarters), the item is counted in both summary periods. Thus, a trip total is for “partial and completed” trips. As such, these statistics are not additive (i.e., sum of four quarters is not the total for the year, etc.). 2019 NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) PIFSC (Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center) Submitted https://doi.org/10.25923/pc00-5s41 Public Domain 1930
