Description:"This is the first formal submission of U.S. fishery statistics by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (Fisheries), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) to the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). As specified by IATTC Resolution C-03-05, catch and effort (or logbook) statistics for 2003 and 2004 and size composition statistics for 2004 are submitted. The catch and effort data, which are for longline fishing, are provided at Level 3, the international standard for such data. Also provided are estimated annual landings in weight by species for 2004, as requested at the first IATTC Meeting for the Review of Fishery Statistics in April 2005. The methods used in compiling the three categories of fishery statistics and other specifics are described below. The definition of eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) used in compiling these statistics is from 150° W longitude eastward to the American coast, without northern or southern boundaries. The only Pacific Island-based fishery that fishes in the EPO is the Hawaii-based tuna longline fishery. All statistics were compiled by year the catch was landed (2003 and 2004) regardless of the year the gear was set."--Page 1.
