"The following tables represent preliminary summaries of effort, retained catch (kept) and discards (released) as reported on longline log sheets for the Hawaii-permitted longline fishery. To satisfy confidentiality and RFMO reporting standards, data from the West coastpermitted fishery is also included in this report. Effort and catch statistics are summarized from logbook data submitted to the PIFSC, FRMD and are based on date of longline haul. The statistics are generated from Oracle table HICA20180209 RFMO 5x5 NON CONF; database extraction was done on 14 February 2018. When a statistic (number of vessels, trips) can involve dates of haul in two summary periods (i.e. years, semi-annual or quarters) the item is counted in both summary periods. Thus, a vessel or trip total is for "partial or completed" vessel or trip summary. As such, these are not additive statistics (i.e. sum of four quarters is not the total for the year, etc.)"--Page [1].
