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 Council OY for 2003 is 6,500 metric tons for the area North of Conception and 294 metric tons for the Conception INPFC area. The non-trawl sablefish catch statistic does not include treaty Indian catch. 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.
