Hawaii law requires that all fishers who take marine life for commercial purposes report their catch and effort to the Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR). From 1948 through 2009, fishers submitted their effort and catch using paper forms supplied by DAR. The forms were revised multiple times over the years therefore the exact elements tracked depends on the year. In January 2010, DAR launched a self reporting web application to replace the paper forms. A minority of fishers still submit paper forms which are then entered into the web application by DAR staff. All data from 1948 through today has been migrated into a single modern database.

This database contains a time series of consumer-level prices for a sample of retail markets in Honolulu between 2007-2011. Data include weekly prices for fish species prevalent in Honolulu retail seafood markets. Additionally, each record contains information on the product form, origin of the fish (if known), labelling schemes, quality (where applicable), and the use of preservation methods (such as CO-treatment).

This is proprietary sales data from one Kona-based fish dealer for August 1986 to December 1988. Fishing was generally around Kona. This is Dealer Data and is highly confidential.

This data set contains consumer-level prices for a sample of retail markets in Honolulu for 2016. Data include weekly prices for fish species prevalent in Honolulu retail seafood markets. Additionally, each record contains information on the product form, origin of the fish (if known), labeling schemes, quality (where applicable), and the use of preservation methods (such as CO-treatment).

Between 1984 January - 2002 June, personnel from NMFS/PIFSC/FRMD/FMB/FMAP and Hawaii Department of Aquatic Resources (DAR) conducted port sampling at the United Fishing Agency (UFA) Fish Auction. They recorded the total landing at the UFA Fish Auction, with a frequency of six times a week during the earlier years to twice a week during the later years. In 2000 January, DAR implemented a Dealer Data collection procedure that receives reports from the fish dealers that are more complete and covers more than just the auction. This Dealer Data takes the place of the UFA Sampling Data, and after a 2.5 year overlap, the collection of the UFA Sampling Data was discontinued in 2002 June. The DAR Dealer Data is archived and documented separately.

These data represent a cost-earnings study of the Main Hawaiian Islands bottomfish fishery for the 2010 operating year. Data collected include fisher classification, vessel characteristics, levels of investment, trip-level expenditures, fishing behavior, market participation, social aspects of the fishery, and demographics. Additionally, attitudes and perceptions towards fisheries management agencies and current and future management tools are described.

These data represent a cost-earnings study of the main Hawaiian Island Charter fishing fleet in 2012. Data collected include fisher classification, vessel characteristics, levels of investment, trip-level expenditures, fishing behavior, market participation, social aspects of the fishery, and demographics.

This data set contains summarized pounds of select pelagic fish species bought by selected federally permitted seafood dealers in the SE Region of the US mainland. Data was collected 2 times each month and used for quota monitoring.

Between March 2001 and January 2002, available Hawaii pelagic longline vessel owners and/or operators were interviewed at Kewalo Basin and Honolulu Harbor to obtain cost and revenue information to support a cost-earnings analysis of this fleet. Any permitted Hawaii longline vessel that fished in 2000 and was in port during the interview period was approached. Survey questions focused on variable costs (costs incurred when the vessel actively fished) and fixed costs (costs incurred regardless of the number of trips the vessel took) as well as vessel characteristics, demographics, fishermen's comments, and the economic effects of recent management changes because of protected species issues. Operational and vessel costs were collected by personal interview with vessel owners, captains and crew. Revenue information was obtained from the Hawaii Department of Aquatic Resources commercial catch reports. In additon, commercial fishing industry members were also interviewed and provided pertinent ancillary information on the longline fleet. J. M. O'Malley and S.G. Pooley conducted this data collection.

Contains information collected such as: lengths, weights, sex, quantity, species, etc. from various bottomfish and pelagic species during frequent visits to the United Fishing Agency Fish Auction in Honolulu, Hawaii.
