Description:This report analyzes trends in fishing effort in the U.S. West Coast groundfish fisheries for the period 2002–17. We describe changes in the amount, timing, location, and depth of fishing effort by analyzing landed weight of targeted species, number of hauls, and tow duration or fixed gear units. We focus on changes that have occurred since the 2011 implementation of an individual fishing quota (IFQ) program. The 2012 NMFS Biological Opinion requires that we update these reports every two years, so we especially analyze developments from the two most recent years of data, 2016 and 2017, to provide context to
the bycatch amounts and patterns reported in other Biological Opinion documents.
