How do I cite PacFIN data

The following is a standard method of citing data obtained from the PacFIN system, but the format may vary based on the journal or publication requirements:

“Pacific Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN) retrieval dated _______,
Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, Portland, Oregon (www.psmfc.org).”

Information on the retrieval method and/or assistance from PacFIN staff should be put in the methods section, so that others could repeat the process if necessary.
