Quarterly Report:

Summary of U. S. observer sampling of joint venture fisheries in the northeast Pacific Ocean and eastern Bering Sea, 1990

Abstract

This report summarizes the 1990 joint venture groundfish activities in the eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands region and off the Washington-Oregon-California coast. Data contained herein provide estimates of the joint venture groundfish catches. Estimates of the rockfish and flatfish catches are tabulated by species group and also by species. Estimates are derived from catches and average weights of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis), snow (Tanner) crab (Chionoecetes spp.), and king crab (Lithodes and Paralithodes spp.) Incidental catch estimates are also made for Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi).
