Large Pelagic Logbook Set Survey (Vessels)
공공데이터포털
This data set contains catch and effort for fishing trips that are taken by vessels with a Federal permit issued for the swordfish and sharks under the Highly Migratory Species (HMS) fishery management plan. Fishermen that own vessels with permits in these fisheries are required to complete a vessel logbook for every trip in which any species in the Highly Migratory Species fishery management plans are caught and landed. Fishermen are not required to report fishing trips in which other than these species are caught. However, fishermen are required to submit a no-fishing report if they did not fish for or catch any HMS species during a calendar month. In 1986, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) initiated a logbook program for vessels that held a federal vessel permit to fish for swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. In 1993, a similar program was initiated for vessels with a federal permit to fish for sharks that are included in the HMS fishery management plan. In order to provide sufficient level of detail for fishing effort by the longline vessels, the catch and effort data need to be reported for each longline set. Consequently, a single logbook form was designed for the fishermen to record the catch (numbers of animals caught) and effort, which includes data on the length of the longline, the number of hooks and the duration of the set. To reduce the number of times that fishermen need to record certain pieces of information, e.g., location of unloading, duration of trip, number of crew, a trip summary form was designed in 1999 that includes the trip-related information that is the same for every set. This redesign of the logbook form resulted in two forms, the trip summary and the set forms. Only one trip summary needs to be completed for each trip, but a separate set form needs to be completed for each longline set made during the trip. At the same time, additional questions were added to the trip summary form to collect information on the expenses that the vessels incurred during the trip. Initially, this information was voluntary and the fishermen did not have to provide the cost data whereas the catch and effort data are mandatory and the vessels permit will not be renewed if logbooks are not received for every trip where swordfish and/or sharks are caught and landed.

Gill Netting data collected during cruises of NOAA R/V John R Manning in 1956 and 1957 and Hugh M Smith in 1959 in the central North Pacific Ocean. Collected data include date, position, gear configuration, species, fork length, weight, and sex-maturity.
Pacific Albacore Troll and Pole-and-line Fisheries
공공데이터포털
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.
Operation-Level Observer Data from the High-Seas Driftnet Fisheries of Japan, Korea and Taiwan in the North Pacific Ocean, 1990-1991
공공데이터포털
In the U.S., driftnet observer data were managed and archived by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center and disseminated to NMFS driftnet program scientists in the AKFSC and the Southwest Fisheries Science Center. Using the combined edited data from all 1990-1991 observer deployments on the squid and large-mesh vessels, Marian Yong of the SWFSC Honolulu Laboratory produced a text file of operation-level, species-specific summary statistics. For each observed operation, separate records of details were created for each species taken during the operation within each observed combination of retrieval type and net depth. In most operations there was just a single category - ordinary retrieval of gear set at the sea surface. All records included a set of header fields including information on vessel ID, flag state, observer nationality, date and location of gear deployment, environmental characteristics, and more. For fish and squid species, each record included additional fields of summary statistics pertaining to the totality of sections monitored: number of sections, mean mesh size, number of standardized (50-m) tans deployed, number of animals decked, number of dropouts, and number of animals of unknown status (this was always empty for squid and fish, as explained below). Other fields contained the same set of aggregate statistics for sections which were monitored for dropouts. In the case of mammals, birds and turtles, some of the fields just described for fish and squid were overloaded with different data pertinent to protected species. The field for decked animals represented the number of animals that were decked and discarded dead, the field for dropouts contained the number of decked animals released alive, and the field for unknown status referred to the number of animals released in unknown condition. In addition to the species-specific records detailing primary monitoring information, data for each operation included a single "Null Species - Operation Marker" record. This was designated by species code 999 and included all the operation-level header data and operation-level summary statistics for average mesh size, total number of sections monitored, and total standardized tans deployed. These statistics were detailed for all the sections monitored and for the subset of sections where dropouts were assessed. The Augmented Data The original text files of observation-level data were prepared in 1992 (dn90obs, dn91obs, and a combined file DNALLOBS). They have been circulated and used in a few subsequent analyses and published papers. However, they have remained largely unavailable and undocumented. The purpose of this project was to create and describe an enhanced version of the original file of combined operation-level data that is easier to use for data analysis and visualization. The enhanced version includes several new fields. To augment the 'species code' field in the original file, new hierarchical taxonomic fields were added to provide species common name, scientific name, group and category. In addition, a new 'date' field was added based on the original fields of operation day, month and year. Finally, new decimal fields of operation 'latitude' and 'longitude' were added. The new data set is provided in an accompanying Excel file: Driftnet Observer Data_12Aug24.xls
