       HARD DATA THRU  DEC04  JAN05  DEC04

  Hard data for this report was extracted from the PacFIN database on 15-FEB-2005.

  HG = Target Landed Harvest Guideline
  The HGs are commercial (LE and OA) guidelines only, the anticipated
  recreational catches are not included on this report.

  The HG for Pacific Whiting is the total U.S. coastwide shoreside allocation.

  * The at-sea catch statistics are estimates of total removals including discards.

  * The nontrawl (NTW) sablefish catch displayed on the Total Fleet report
    includes catches for both the limited entry and open access fisheries.

  * The values for NTW Primary Sable and NTW DTL Sable include areas V&C&E&M.

  * The 2005 Harvest Guideline for Bocaccio MT&CP (all gears) = 85 mtons.

  * The 2005 Harvest Guideline for Near-Shore Rockfish South = 97 mtons.

  V&C&E   = U.S. Vancouver & Columbia & Eureka INPFC areas combined.
  V&C&E&M = U.S. Vancouver & Columbia & Eureka & Monterey INPFC areas combined.
  MT&CP   = Monterey and Conception INPFC areas combined.
     CP   = Conception area.
    So.   = Monteray and Conception INPFC areas combined.
   Nor.   = Vancouver & Columbia & Eureka INPFC areas combined.
