Book Description
"This report presents estimates of annual catches of tuna, billfish, and other highly migratory species (HMS), and vessel participation during 2004-2008 for U.S. fisheries operating in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). All statistics for 2008 are provisional. For the purposes of this report, the WCPO is defined as the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) Statistical Area. Information on fisheries is provided and pelagic research over the last year is described. U.S. fisheries include large-scale purse seine, longline, and albacore troll fisheries operating on the high seas, within the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ), and within the EEZs of other states, and small-scale (tropical) troll, handline, pole-and-line and miscellaneous-gear fisheries operating in nearshore waters in the EEZs of American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and Hawaii"--Page 2.
