Activity:
Database containing Pacific salmonid catch and hatchery release data
Objectives:
Member countries conduct directed fisheries and stock enhancement activities within their own waters, and member countries cooperate in collecting, reporting, and exchanging fisheries statistics, which North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission (NPAFC) has been reporting in statistical yearbooks. The objective in creating electronic data files combining North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission (NPAFC) statistics and time-series data was to bring about significant improvements to user access including • improved accessibility to multi-year statistics for examining time trends • increased efficiency in compiling and updating statistics • a single-source for North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission (NPAFC) statistics on the website • a time series of statistics on subsistence and sport catches • a file design making statistics easy to view and analyze
