  and 294 metric tons for the Conception INPFC area. The non-trawl sablefish 
  catch statistic does not include treaty Indian catch. The values for NTW 
  Primary Sable and NTW DTL Sable include areas V&C&E&M. 
  
  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.
