These summary reports are derived from daily records in the mandatory logbooks submitted to NOAA Fisheries by captains of U.S. pelagic longline vessels in American Samoa after each fishing trip.
We investigate potential options to optimize fishing gear configurations for United States Pacific pelagic longline vessels to maintain target catch rates whilst reducing bycatch mortality, injury, and harm.

Despite fishing trip cost being an important element in evaluating performance of fisheries, low observe coverage often results in limited trip-level data. This article introduces a model to estimate and predict the fishing trip costs of unsampled trips.
We examine the source of a discrepancy in study results and find catch rate composition to critically affect the underlying trends in data with which models are fit and are likely the source of the conflicting findings.
These summary reports are derived from daily records in the mandatory logbooks submitted to NOAA Fisheries by captains of U.S. pelagic longline vessels in the main Hawaiian Islands and California after each fishing trip.
