The ridgeback slipper lobster (S. haani) became a target species later in the fishery as the live market opened up. The green spiny lobster (P. penicillatus) and the chinese slipper lobster (Parribacus antarcticus) were incidental catches made in very low abundances. Fishery statistics during the early developmental phase of the fishery (1976-82), prior to the establishment of the Crustaceans FMP, are scant. Also, despite significant changes in trap configuration during the 1980s, information identifying the type of trap fished is not available. Octopus were one of the incidental catch species that were retained by some vessels. The fishery started out as a frozen tail fishery. Towards the end of the fishery the vessels were returning with live spiny and slipper lobsters. Majority of the live lobsters were destined for non-US markets. The frozen tails were marketed world wide. To provide fishery information for stock assessment and management purposes vessel captains have been required under Amendment 1 of the Crustaceans Fishery Management Plan (FMP) to submit a trip logbook with data on daily catch (in numbers), lobsters retained (landings), fishing effort (number of traps hauled), and area fished (bank). completed Tomita, Ashley S (808)725-5693 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA ashley.tomita@noaa.gov Contact via email pointOfContact Bigelow, Keith A (808)725-5388 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA keith.bigelow@noaa.gov Contact via email custodian asNeeded FMB FRMD IFP NWHI PIFSC frozen tails live lobsters lobster logbook protected species observation slipper lobster spiny lobster trap theme 1980 - 1999 temporal Northwestern Hawaiian Island (NWHI) Pacific Ocean place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/PIFSC > Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
