       HARD DATA THRU  OCT05  NOV05  OCT05

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

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

  * 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 are limited to the V&C&E&M area.
  * The 2005 Harvest Guideline for Bocaccio MT&CP (all gears) = 85 mtons.
  * The 2005 Harvest Guideline for Near-Shore Rockfish South = 97 mtons.
  * The HG for Pacific Whiting is the total U.S. coastwide allocation.

  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.
