  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.
