摘要

The study provided quantitative and qualitative data describing major fisheriesoff Washington in a format suitable for mapping. The Washington Department of Fisheries (WDF) developed quantitative databases summarizing the coastal trawl groundfish trawl fishery database (CTLDB) from 1971-1988, and the coastal salmon database (CSDB) from 1978-1987. The report describes the two databases; a separate report gives instructions for use, interpretation, and administration for the two qualitative databases. The CSDB is derived entirely from the WDF Fish Ticket database. The CTLDB is derived from the WDF Trawl Logbook and Fish Ticket databases that includes: landing year, month, and weight; gear type; species; fishing location; and towing number.
