Abundance of Neglected Fishing Gear in the Hawaii-Based Pelagic Longline Fishery Grounds

We study the abundance of derelict fishing gear (DFG) accumulating in zones coinciding with the fishing grounds of the Hawai’i-based pelagic longline fishery with results that suggest that the relative abundance of DFG has declined ~66% from 2008–2016.

Alaska Longline Survey Data Map

The Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) conducts annual longline surveys to estimate the relative abundance of major groundfish species on the continental slope of the eastern Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and the Gulf of Alaska. The survey is primarily designed to assess sablefish and indices of abundance have been computed since 1979. Catch data from other species are also available. From 1979 to 1994, the AFSC conducted cooperative annual longline surveys with Japan, and then independently from 1987 to present.
