| NORPAC.FOREIGN_PROHIB7886 |
Prohibited species catch information from foreign and joint venture fishing operations in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, Gulf of Alaska, and Washington-Oregon-California Regions for the years 1978-86. These are monthly compilations separated by nation, area, vessel class and species. The information are provided for Pacific halibut, all king crab (combined), all Tanner crab (combined), all salmon (combined), and steelhead. The official groundfish catch estimate (blend estimate) is given as well as average weight per individual, number of individuals per ton of groundfish, total number of individuals, and total tons of individuals. A source code is listed, to identify whether the information came from data collected that month or from some other source. |

| YEAR |
number(2,0) |
The last two digits of the year in which the fishing occurred. |
| MONTH |
number(2,0) |
The two digit numerical representation of the month in which the fishing occurred. |
| NATION |
char(13) |
The name of the nation(s) associated with each fishing operation. These nations are: BULGARIA, JAPAN, MEXICO, POLAND, PORTUGAL, PRC (People’s Republic of China),
ROK (Republic of Korea), TAIWAN,
USSR (United Soviet Socialist Republic), WEST GERMANY,
US-BULGARIA, US-GREECE, US-JAPAN, US-POLAND,
US-PORTUGAL, US-PRC, US-ROK, US-SPAIN, US-TAIWAN,
US-USSR, US-W. GERMANY.
All nation names beginning with US- are joint venture operations between the United States and a foreign nation. |
| AREA_NAME |
char(12) |
The name of the International North Pacific Fish Commission area in which the catch was made. These areas are: BERING SEA 1,
BERING SEA 2, BERING SEA 3, ALEUTIANS, SHUMAGIN, CHIRIKOF, KODIAK, YAKUTAT, S. E. ALASKA, VANCOUVER, COLUMBIA, EUREKA, MONTEREY. |
| VESSEL_CLASS |
char(16) |
The vessel type used in the fishing operations. In 1978 and 1979, larger trawlers were separated by size into MED TRAWLER and
LG TRAWLER. From 1980 on, larger trawlers were separated based on their ability to make surimi. If they could make surimi, they were called SURIMI TRAWL; if not, they were called LG FRZ TRAWL. Longliners were listed as a single vessel type (LONGLINER) in 1978-81. From 1982 on, they were separated by target into LONGLINE COD (targeting Pacific cod) and LONGLINE SAB (targeting sablefish). Two additional vessel types, JV/SURIMI TRAWL and LL COD/JV MSHIP, identified the portion of the catch caught by a fishing vessel itself, in the same week that it was processing another vessel's catch in a joint venture operation; JV MSHIP identified the portion of the catch delivered to the fishing vessel for processing. The other vessel types were: FREEZER MSHIP (no surimi capability), SNAIL POT, and SMALL TRAWL. |

7 - no halibut sample data was collected for that cell for that month, quarter, or year, so the information on halibut average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that year, but from a different cell that was judged to give results similar to what would have been found for that cell. |
