Description

Abstract: In 1995, the fourth consecutive year of the Shoreside Pacific Whiting Observation Program was completed. The program was initially established in 1992 to provide information for determining the impacts of directed whiting fishing by mid-water trawlers on species caught as bycatch and to determine the results of catch restrictions (such as time and area closures) implemented to protect salmon and other prohibited or sensitive species. Reasons for continuing the program include providing an accurate accounting of all catch from targeted whiting trips and accommodating the landing of non-sorted catches from these trips. In 1995, a secondary goal was to collect biological samples on Pacific whiting and selected bycatch species. The program has been a cooperative effort between the fishing industry and government agencies to provide observations on directed Pacific whiting trips delivered to shoreside processing plants. Participants in this cooperative program are mid-water trawlers delivering whiting to shoreside processors located in Washington, Oregon and California; shoreside processing plants receiving Pacific whiting; Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC); National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC); Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW); Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW); and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG).

Purpose: This report summarizes some of the results of the 1995 shoreside observation program, briefly describes plans for an observation program in 1996, and provides discussion and recommendation for program improvement.
