Item Identification

Title: Cost Earnings Survey of NWHI Bottomfish Fleets (2003)
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2005-04-30
Abstract:

During May-August 2004, face-to-face interviews with owners and/or captains of all NWHI bottomfish vessels were conducted to collect primary information on costs of fishing operations in 2003. Information on physical characteristics of the vessels, motivation of fishermen, and other topics was also collected. Follow-up interviews were conducted in September 2004 and March-April 2005 to collect data missed during the first interviews. M. Pan and A. Griesemer conducted the project.
Purpose:

The objectives of this project were to update cost-earnings information from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) fleet for the vessels that made fishing trips in 2003, examine the economic health of the fleet, and assess vessel operations and activities relevant to vessel economic returns of the fleet.

Data was completed with no omissions and selection criteria (approached all active vessels).
Quality Control Procedures Employed:

The quality of the data was controlled throughout the data life cycle including data collection, data entry, data cleaning, and data storage. Data were collected following rigid statistical method (e.g. interviewers were trained to get familiar with the questionnaire for in-person survey). Data entry file was developed to minimize data entry errors. Data were cleaned with logic checking, skipping patterns, and outliers. Data files were stored in PIFSC’s server with password protection.
