HG = Target Fishing Mortality Guideline The HGs are commercial (LE & OA) guidelines only, the anticipated recreational catches are not included on this report. * The WA tribal catches include both shoreside and at-sea landings. * The at-sea catch statistics are estimates of total non-tribal removals including discards. * The nontrawl (NTW) sablefish catch displayed on the Total Fleet report includes catches for both the limited entry and open access fisheries. * The values for NTW Primary Sable and NTW DTL Sable are limited to the V&C&E&M area. * The HG for Pacific Whiting is the total U.S. coastwide allocation. V&C&E = Nor. = U.S. Vancouver & Columbia & Eureka INPFC areas combined. V&C&E&M = U.S. Vancouver & Columbia & Eureka & Monterey INPFC areas combined. MT&CP = So. = Monterey and Conception INPFC areas combined. CP = Conception area.
