"The following tables represent effort, retained catch (kept) and discards as reported on longline logsheets for the American Samoa limited-access longline fishery. Effort and catch-effort statistics are based on date of longline haul. Effort and catch statistics are based on logbook data submitted to the PIFSC, FRMD and represent an Oracle table LLDS_REPORT_STATS_AS database extraction done on 31 March 2017. When a statistic (number of vessels, trips) can involve dates of haul in 2 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 are not additive statistics (i.e. sum of 4 quarters is not the total for the year, etc.)"--Page [1].
