Economic status of the groundfish fisheries off Alaska, 1995
Abstract
This report presents data which summarizes various aspects of the economic performance of the domestic groundfish fishery in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off Alaska. Generally, data are presented for 1991 through 1995. Although limited catch, ex-vessel value, and export value data are also included for the fishery during the early or mid-1980s. With the exception of the exports, Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) is not included in this report because for management purposes halibut is not part of the groundfish complex.
Compared with the report that was prepared a year ago, there have been major changes in the data that are presented. The changes include a new source of ex-vessel prices for 1991-95, more extensive bycatch data, and more detailed data on the size and level of activity of the groundfish fleet.
