The data set contains receipts of tuna destined for canning, from both domestic and imported sources, at cannery locations within the 50 states, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa. Monthly data are available electronically from 1979 to present with new data currently uploaded annually (this may change to quarterly or monthly uploads sometime in 2020). Data elements include species, product condition, flag of catcher vessel, ocean area of harvest, harvesting gear type, harvesting vessel trip dates, unloading dates, carrier vessel name, location, cannery location, fishing vessel registration number, weights and dolphin-safe status. Non-summarized proprietary data are considered business confidential.

To store data submitted electronically by SC/OQ dealers.

Data from strandings included as part of the UME. All data are included in the Tech Memo.

All commercially landed bluefin tuna must be reported to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) so that NMFS can ensure the fishery stays within the U.S. quota. Bluefin tuna are internationally managed under the binding recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). The United States receives an annual bluefin tuna quota and may be penalized if the quota is exceeded. Landings data are also used by U.S. and ICCAT scientists to estimate the status of the resource. Data elements include dealer, dealer permit number, date of landing, port, vessel name, vessel permit number, fish length, fish weight, gear type.

Table of variables collected by observers documenting the date, location, and basic gear and environmental characteristics of gear deployed during observed trips.

Each sample that is received by NSIL is assigned a laboratory number and a case file is initiated by the sample custodian. The case file will contain all relevant paperwork for that sample including the sample submission sheet, laboratory raw data worksheets, the final results report and any other relevant documentation. The sample custodian enters the client information into the NSIL Sample tracking system (Sample receipt database) and generates appropriate client and sample receipt information. The laboratory analysts perform the appropriate analyses and record the results and whether the results are compliant or non-compliant with the assigned acceptance levels. The analysts also record the record of charges and the analytical and quality assurance units that were used to complete all analysis. The database is used to track samples analyzed by NSIL from sample receipt to reporting of results. It tracks numbers of samples, number of analytical units, types of samples, purpose for sampling ans analytical costs.

This data set contains vessels, logbooks, fish size and landings data for three fleets of gillnet vessels that operate within 200 mile of the U.S. west coast, mainly in waters off California. The three fleets consist of set gillnet vessels targeting halibut and angel sharks, small-mesh drift gillnet vessels targeting white sea bass and yellowtail and large-mesh drift gillnet vessels targeting swordfish and thresher sharks. In addition, observer data are available from the large-mesh drift gillnet fleet. The data are owned by CDFW and managed jointly by CDFW and SWFSC.

This data set contains tuna morphometric measurements collected by Pacific Oceanic Fishery Investigations from commercial fishery (chartered) vessels in 1952 and 1955. Date, position, gear, sex and maturity, weight and length measurements were collected on the following species: skipjack tuna, bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna.

This data set contains tuna morphometric measurements collected by Pacific Oceanic Fishery Investigations from 1949 through 1957 on research vessels. Date, position, gear, sex and maturity, weight and length measurements were collected on the following species: skipjack tuna, little tunny (kawakawa), bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, and albacore.

The Vessel Arrival Info is a spreadsheet that gets filled out during the initial stage of the debriefing process by the debriefer. It contains vessel name, trip number, trip dates, number of sets, set number, set date and logbook page number per set. The completed Vessel Arrival Info is emailed to the logbook group at the Pacific Islands Science Center.
