  Hard data for this report was extracted from the PacFIN database on 19APR94

  *Nontrawl sablefish catch displayed on this report includes catches for
   both commercial and Tribal fisheries. The nontrawl sablefish Harvest
   guideline is 2814 metric tons and the Tribal sablefish Harvest guide-
   line is 300 metric tons.

  *Unspecified rockfish catches for the Vancouver and Columbia areas are
   not included in the catches for the various Vancouver and Columbia
   rockfish species on this report. Unspecified rockfish catches for
   these areas are apportioned when projections are made.

  V&C = Van&Col = U.S. Vancouver & Columbia INPFC areas combined
  V&C&E&M = U.S. Vancouver & Columbia & Eureka & Monterey INPFC areas combined
  V&NC = U.S. Vancouver & No. Columbia (No. of Cape Falcon) areas combined
  E&SC = Eureka & So. Columbia (So. of Cape Falcon) areas combined
  C&E&M = Columbia & Eureka & Monterey INPFC areas combined
  E&M&C = Eureka & Monterey & Conception INPFC areas combined

  SBTS+URCK = Sebastes Complex plus Unspecified Rockfish. Due to the large
              amount of rockfish catch classified as unspecified rockfish
              (primarily in the Monterey and Conception areas) SBTS+URCK is
              the best estimate of catch for Sebastes Complex for the E&M&C
              area.
