Description:The Fisheries Observation Science (FOS) Program at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) places trained scientists, known as observers, on U.S. West Coast fishing vessels to collect data on catch composition and amount, obtain biological samples, collect information on fishing operations, and record interactions with protected species, among other duties. This data report presents multiple tables that summarize the level of this observer coverage. Coverage rates are defined as the proportion of targeted landings associated with observed trips to the total targeted landings across all trips in the fleet, based on fish ticket data from the Pacific Fishery Information Network (PacFIN). The species considered to be targeted are defined based on the fishery and described in the header of each table. The total targeted landings by each fleet are reported even in years when FOS did not observe any trips.
