OY = Optimum Yield The OYs are commercial (LE and OA) guidelines only, the anticipated recreational catches are not included here. The OY for Pacific Whiting is the total U.S. coastwide shoreside allocation. The nontrawl (NTW) sablefish catch displayed on this report includes catches for both the limited entry and open access fisheries. The nontrawl limited- entry sablefish harvest guideline is 2430 metric tons and the open-access sablefish harvest guideline is 600 metric tons. Starting in 1995 this non-trawl sablefish catch statistic no longer includes treaty Indian catch. 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.
