To facilitate status of stocks authors and other users of these records, a data set separate from the OLAP was created which reformats and repackages vetted (debriefed) observer data from NORPAC into a common structure, format, and syntax. The granularity of current production data is compromised, however for the purposes of longitudinal research the data set is internally consistant, and spans the developmental boundaries.

Promoted to Production Winter 2010 | Currentness: Publication Date 1986 All of these data are collected cooperatively from private commercial fishing interests and are protected from general release by confidentiality statutes. This protects the private business interests of industry while still providing NOAA Fisheries with the detailed information necessary to effectively manage the ecosystem. The staff authorized to use these data include NOAA Fisheries' scientists and managers participating in a broad range of activities including: stock assessments, marine mammal interactions, food habits, fish age analyses, economic analyses, fishery management plan development, in-season fishery management. The data are also shared with other authorized users in the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and North Pacific Fishery Management Council staff with similar responsibilities. Aggregations of observer data which protect confidentiality are periodically developed and released to the public. Observer data serve as essential building blocks for numerous public analyses, reports, and scientific documents.

Accuracy Because the granularity of the data changed at the development boundary, these data may have lost some of the richness of the newer data model. Some denormalization of post 2007 data has occurred. Bias Any bias is inherited from the source observer data. Completeness Measure These data are recomputed whenever the underlying data is changed. Raw observer data is denormalized and flattened for analytical users.
