Each year the SWFSC publishes a summary of the fishery and it’s associated statistics in an administrative report. download tableDigital The North Pacific and South Pacific Albacore Troll and Pole-and-line Fisheries project contains landings, logbooks, and size composition data from U.S.A. troll and pole-and-line vessels fishing in the North and South Pacific, from 1952 and 1987, respectively, to the present. These data are collected for use in monitoring the fisheries, contribute to stock assessments on north Pacific albacore, and to fulfill reporting obligations of Pacific RFMOs.

Coverage rates vary by year but are currently greater than 75%. Length Composition data sampling coverage has been evaluated to determine adequacy of accurately representing the size distribution of fish targeted by this fishery. Accuracy Landings data are submitted by buyers and accuracy is very accurate. Logbook data are completed by vessel captains and can be suspect. length composition coverage rates are appropriate for determining yearly distributions by fishery Completed logbook forms are submitted to SWFSC by vessel operators. The data are edited, entered by SWFSC staff and a private data entry company. The data are managed by SWFSC staff. Size samples are collected by port samplers, observers, and crew, submitted to SWFSC. The data are edited, entered and managed by SWFSC staff. Landings data are collected from industry, foreign fisheries agencies, state agencies and the PacFIN system, integrated with other data in an Oracle database Pole-and-Line Line Pole-and-Line Charter vessels-small boats various vessels ranging in size (20-40 ft length) chartered for cetacean surveys when a NOAA small boat is not available.
