Description:
The Fisheries Observation Science (FOS) Program at the Northwest Fishery Science Center consists of two programs, the At-Sea Hake Observer Program (A-SHOP) and the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program (WCGOP). The A-SHOP observes the hake fleet that processes catch at sea, while the WCGOP observers a number of fleets that deliver catch shoreside for processing, including sectors that target and incidentally impact groundfish. Both programs place trained scientists on board commercial fishing vessels to observe and sample all catch; the WCGOP specifically focuses on at-sea discard estimates. This report also includes fish ticket landings data from the Pacific Fishery Information Network (PacFIN).
