PacFIN Brief for 1990

[Complete 1990 PSMFC Annual Report (pdf)]

Pacific Coast Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN) PacFIN is a highly visible and successful cooperative coastwide fishery data collection, analysis, and monitoring system which builds on existing state data programs to meet federal management obligations. The PacFIN computer database contains fishery catch and effort information, primarily for the vast groundfishfisheries, from California to Alaska. These day-to-day fisheries data contribute to the "real time" management of the state and Regional Council fisheries. The PacFIN database resides on the NMFS computer in Seattle and is administered by PSMFC employee Will Daspit (206) 526-4072.
