Description:This is the 15th submission of annual U.S. and Territorial fishery statistics by the NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). The submission consists of preliminary 2018 fisheries data for highly migratory species (HMS) in the Pacific Ocean, and updated data for 2017, unless otherwise indicated. Annual catch and effort estimates are included for fisheries of the United States and Participating Territories of American Samoa and Guam, as well as the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Three categories of fisheries data are provided: Category I – annual catch estimates by species, and numbers of active vessels by vessel size class, in each fishing fleet (purse seine, longline, albacore troll, tropical troll, handline, and skipjack pole-and-line); Category II – catch (in number and weight of fish) and effort data in aggregated form for purse seine and longline fisheries; and Category III – size (length or weight) composition of catch data for key species caught by the purse seine, longline, tropical troll, and handline fisheries.
