• Description:
  The 1982 foreign trawl fishery for western Pacific seamount groundfish opened May 1, 1982. As in previous years, the trawling office of Nippon Suisan Kaisha, Ltd., in Tobata, Japan, notified the Southwest Fisheries Center Honolulu Laboratory, National Marine Fisheries Service of their proposed schedule for trawling inside the U.S. Fishery Conservation Zone (FCZ) around Hawaii (see Table 1 and Figure 1). The first trawler which operated in Hawaii's FCZ in 1982 was the Takachiho Maru. a 3,600-gross ton independent stern trawler which normally fishes in the Gulf of Alaska, but which had been trawling the Emperor Seamounts, northwest of Midway Islands since February 1982 (see Appendix Table 1). I boarded the Takachiho Maru from a U.S. Navy tug at Midway on May 2 (CUT) and began 14 days of sampling pelagic armorhead and alfonsin at the Hancock Seamounts.
