"This report presents estimates of annual catches of tuna, billfish, and other highly migratory species (HMS), and vessel participation during 2009-2013 for fisheries of the migratory species (HMS), and vessel participation during 2009-2013 for fisheries of the United States and its Participating Territories operating in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO).

All statistics for 2015 are provisional. Statistics for 2014 have been updated from those reported provisionally in the submission of 2013-2014 U.S. fishery statistics for the western and central Pacific Ocean (NOAA, NMFS 2015). Statistics for 2011–2013 have not been updated. For the purposes of this report, the WCPO is defined as the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) Statistical Area. For the most part, U.S. estimates of catch by weight are estimates of retained catches due to lack of data on weights of discarded fish"--Page 2 [doi:10.7289/V5/DR-16-038 (http://dx.doi.org/10.7289/V5/DR-16-038)]

"This is the 12th submission of annual U.S. and Territorial fishery statistics by the NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). The submission consists of preliminary 2015 fisheries data for highly migratory species (HMS) in the Pacific Ocean, and updated data for 2014, unless otherwise indicated. Annual catch and effort estimates are included for fisheries of the United States and Participating Territories of American Samoa and Guam, as well as the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands."--Page 1.

"This report presents estimates of annual catches of tuna, billfish, and other pelagic species, vessel participation, and other fishery information for 2001--2005 for U.S. fisheries operating in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO).

Information on the fisheries is provided, and pelagic research during 2005 is described. U.S. fisheries include large-scale purse seine, longline, and distant-water troll fisheries operating on the high seas, within the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ), and within the EEZs of other states, and small-scale troll, handline, pole-and-line, and miscellaneous gears operating in nearshore waters in the U.S. EEZ"--Page [1].

"This report presents estimates of annual catches2 of tuna, billfish, and other highly migratory species (Table 1a-1g), and vessel participation during 2005-2009 (Table 2a-2b) for fisheries of the U.S. and its Participating Territories operating in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). All statistics for 2009 are preliminary. For the purposes of this report, the WCPO is defined as the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) Statistical Area. Information on fisheries is provided and pelagic research over the last year is described. The fisheries include large-scale purse seine, longline, and albacore troll fisheries operating on the high seas. The purse seine and longline fisheries also operate within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the U.S., and within the EEZs of other nations. Small-scale tropical troll fisheries operate in nearshore waters around American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and Hawaii (Table 1g), while small-scale handline and pole-and-line fisheries operate only in the Hawaii EEZ"--Page 2.
