  Hard data for this report was extracted from PacFIN database on 13-OCT-2000.

  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.
