Hawaii-based Longline Logbook Summary Report, January-March 2009

摘要

This report summarizes data on fish catch and fishing effort by Hawaii-based longline vessels during the first quarter of 2009 (Q1-2009). Results are based on the date gear was hauled, as reported by vessel operators to the National Marine Fisheries Service in Federal logbooks of daily fishing activity. The report covers longline operations for fishing trips completed in the first quarter of 2009 and most, but not all, Q1-2009 data from trips that began late in the first quarter and continued into the second quarter of 2009. Therefore, the Q1-2009 summary statistics reported here are preliminary.
