Summaries of commercial fishery catch, revenue, and effort (PacFIN data)

HMS SAFE Data Portal

PacFIN data for the HMS SAFE is available through the HMS SAFE
Portal hosted on the Pacific Fisheries Information Network
(PacFIN) website. This HMS SAFE Portal, developed and maintained by
PacFIN, provides a point of public access to HMS fisheries landings,
revenues and participation data. This Portal supplements information
provided here on the Council website. In addition, APEX report HMS006
tracks cumulative landings during the current year by species and
fisheries up to the most recent landing date entered in the PacFIN
database.

For easy reference, six summary tables showing landings, revenue, and
price per pound for HMS management unit species by species and fishery
are found below. (Note that the reports in the HMS SAFE Portal may
present data for different species groupings, in which case the totals
will not match.)

Confidential values (less than 3 vessels or dealers) are not reported
and the cells are denoted by “C”. Values less than 0.5 are rounded to 0.
Blank cells indicate null value (no data exist for that stratum).
