OY = Optimum Yield The OYs are commercial (LE and OA) guidelines only, the anticipated recreational catches are not included on this report. The OY for Pacific Whiting is the total U.S. coastwide shoreside allocation. * The nontrawl (NTW) sablefish catch displayed on the Total Fleet report includes catches for both the limited entry and open access fisheries. The nontrawl limited-entry sablefish harvest guideline is 2282 metric tons and the open-access sablefish harvest guideline is 535 metric tons. The non- trawl sablefish catch statistic does not include treaty Indian catch.
