This fleet primarily targets skipjack and yellowfin tuna, but also incidentally catches bigeye tuna. U.S.A. purse-seine vessels fishing in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) have been monitored by NOAA Fisheries under the SPTT since 1988. Logbook and landings data must be submitted as a requirement of the SPTT with 100% logbook coverage. Most SPTT-licensed vessels e-report their daily logbook data through a software system called Industry Fisheries Information Management System (iFIMS), and also submit copies of their catch and effort logbooks, their offloading logbooks, and cannery receipts to PIRO field staff in American Samoa. The WCPO fleet operates mainly in areas between 10 degrees N and 10 degrees S latitude and 130 degrees E and 150 degrees W longitude, with the majority of the fishing effort occurring south of the equator. onGoing Suter, Jenny M 1845 Wasp Blvd Honolulu HI 96818 USA jenny.suter@noaa.gov Contact via email pointOfContact Tomita, Ashley S (808)725-5693 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA ashley.tomita@noaa.gov pointOfContact Suter, Jenny M 1845 Wasp Blvd Honolulu HI 96818 USA jenny.suter@noaa.gov Contact via email custodian continual FMP FRMD PIFSC purse seine skipjack yellowfin tuna theme 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.
