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.
