Description:This report presents observed and estimated bycatch of green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) in fishery sectors observed by the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program (WCGOP) and the At-Sea Hake Observer Program (A-SHOP) from 2002–19. Three federal groundfish fisheries observed by WCGOP and A-SHOP encountered green sturgeon over this time period, though none of these observations occurred during the most recent two years (2018 and 2019). The fisheries with observed green sturgeon bycatch are: the limited entry (LE) bottom trawl fishery (active 2002–10), the individual fishing quota (IFQ) bottom trawl fishery (active 2011–present), and the at-sea hake fishery (active 2002–present).
