       HARD DATA THRU  APR03  APR03  MAR03

  Hard data for this report was extracted from PacFIN database on 06-JUN-2003.

  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.

  catch statistic does not include treaty Indian catch. The values for NTW 
  Primary Sable and NTW DTL Sable include areas V&C&E&M. 
  
  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.
