Description:

This report presents estimates of annual catches of tuna, billfish, and other highly migratory species (HMS), and vessel participation during 2014–2018 for fisheries of the United States and its Participating Territories operating in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). All statistics for 2018 are provisional. Statistics for 2017 have been updated from those reported provisionally in the submission of 2016–2017 U.S. fishery statistics for the WCPO (NOAA, NMFS 2017). Statistics for 2014–2016 have not been updated. For the purposes of this report, the WCPO is defined as the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) Statistical Area. For the most part, U.S. estimates of catch by weight are estimates of retained catches due to lack of data on weights of discarded fish.
