The last two digits of the year in which the fishing occurred.

The two digit numerical representation of the month in which the fishing occurred.

The name of the nation(s) associated with each fishing operation. These nations are: BULGARIA, JAPAN, MEXICO, POLAND, PORTUGAL, PRC (People's Republic of China), ROK (Republic of Korea), TAIWAN, USSR (United Soviet Socialist Republic), WEST GERMANY, US-BULGARIA, US-GREECE, US-JAPAN, US-POLAND, US-PORTUGAL, US-PRC, US-ROK, US-SPAIN, US-TAIWAN, US-USSR, US-W. GERMANY. All nation names beginning with US- are joint venture operations between the United States and a foreign nation.

The name of the International North Pacific Fish Commission area in which the catch was made. These areas are: BERING SEA 1, BERING SEA 2, BERING SEA 3, ALEUTIANS, SHUMAGIN, CHIRIKOF, KODIAK, YAKUTAT, S. E. ALASKA, VANCOUVER, COLUMBIA, EUREKA, MONTEREY.

The vessel type used in the fishing operations. In 1978 and 1979, larger trawlers were separated by size into MED TRAWLER and LG TRAWLER. From 1980 on, larger trawlers were separated based on their ability to make surimi. If they could make surimi, they were called SURIMI TRAWL; if not, they were called LG FRZ TRAWL. Longliners were listed as a single vessel type (LONGLINER) in 1978-81. From 1982 on, they were separated by target into LONGLINE COD (targeting Pacific cod) and LONGLINE SAB (targeting sablefish). Two additional vessel types, JV/SURIMI TRAWL and LL COD/JV MSHIP, identified the portion of the catch caught by a fishing vessel itself, in the same week that it was processing another vessel's catch in a joint venture operation; JV MSHIP identified the portion of the catch delivered to the fishing vessel for processing. The other vessel types were: FREEZER MSHIP (no surimi capability), SNAIL POT, and SMALL TRAWL.

ALASKA), 67 (VANCOUVER), 71 (COLUMBIA), 72 (EUREKA), 73 (MONTEREY).

The best estimate of the allocated tonnage caught (i.e., combined tonnage caught of those species groups that had catch allocations) for the year, month, nation, vessel_class, and area_number.

The average weight (kg) of the individual halibut found in the observers' samples.

The number of halibut caught per ton of allocated groundfish sampled for the presence of halibut.

The estimated total number of halibut caught for the year, month, nation, vessel_class, and area_number.

The estimated tonnage of halibut caught for the year, month, nation, vessel_class, and area_number.

A one-digit number that indicates where the halibut information came from. 4 - the halibut information came from sampling from that year, month, nation, vessel_class, area_number. 5 - no halibut sample data was collected for that cell (year, nation, vessel_class, area_number) for that month, so the information on halibut average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that cell for the same quarter. 6 - no halibut sample data was collected for that cell for that month or quarter, so the information on halibut average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that cell from the other quarters of the year. 7 - no halibut sample data was collected for that cell for that month, quarter, or year, so the information on halibut average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that year, but from a different cell that was judged to give results similar to what would have been found for that cell.

The average weight (kg) of the individual king crab found in the observers' samples.

The number of king crab caught per ton of allocated groundfish sampled for the presence of king crab.

The estimated total number of king crab caught for the year, month, nation, vessel_class, and area_number.

The estimated tonnage of king crab caught for the year, month, nation, vessel_class, and area_number.

A one-digit number that indicates where the king crab information came from. 4 - the king crab information came from sampling from that year, month, nation, vessel_class, area_number. 5 - no king crab sample data was collected for that cell (year, nation, vessel_class, area_number) for that month, so the information on king crab average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that cell for the same quarter. 6 - no king crab sample data was collected for that cell for that month or quarter, so the information on king crab average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that cell from the other quarters of the year. 7 - no king crab sample data was collected for that cell for that month, quarter, or year, so the information on king crab average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that year, but from a different cell that was judged to give results similar to what would have been found for that cell.

The average weight (kg) of the individual Tanner crab found in the observers' samples.

The number of Tanner crab caught per ton of allocated groundfish sampled for the presence of Tanner crab.

The estimated total number of Tanner crab caught for the year, month, nation, vessel_class, and area_number.

The estimated tonnage of Tanner crab caught for the year, month, nation, vessel_class, and area_number.

A one-digit number that indicates where the Tanner crab information came from. 4 - the Tanner crab information came from sampling from that year, month, nation, vessel_class, area_number. 5 - no Tanner crab sample data was collected for that cell (year, nation, vessel_class, area_number) for that month, so the information on Tanner crab average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that cell for the same quarter. 6 - no Tanner crab sample data was collected for that cell for that month or quarter, so the information on Tanner crab average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that cell from the other quarters of the year. 7 - no Tanner crab sample data was collected for that cell for that month, quarter, or year, so the information on Tanner crab average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that year, but from a different cell that was judged to give results similar to what would have been found for that cell.

The average weight (kg) of the individual salmon found in the observers' samples.

The number of salmon caught per ton of allocated groundfish sampled for the presence of salmon.

The estimated tonnage of salmon caught for the year, month, nation, vessel_class, and area_number.

A one-digit number that indicates where the salmon information came from. 4 - the salmon information came from sampling from that year, month, nation, vessel_class, area_number. 5 - no salmon sample data was collected for that cell (year, nation, vessel_class, area_number) for that month, so the information on salmon average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that cell for the same quarter. 6 - no salmon sample data was collected for that cell for that month or quarter, so the information on salmon average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that cell from the other quarters of the year. 7 - no salmon sample data was collected for that cell for that month, quarter, or year, so the information on salmon average weight and numbers per ton came from sampling from that year, but from a different cell that was judged to give results similar to what would have been found for that cell.

The average weight (kg) of the individual steelhead found in the observers' samples.

The number of steelhead caught per ton of allocated groundfish sampled for the presence of steelhead.
