Preliminary 2009 Estimates are available for Waves 1 through 4. Final estimates are available for 2008 and earlier.
Preliminary estimates were posted for Wave 4 for the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, and Hawaii.
.
Preliminary estimates of participation, effort, and catch are posted 45 days following the end of a wave (e.g. Wave 3 data for May-June, are usually posted by August 15). Final data, including any changes due to quality assurance measures or new census data, are generally posted by April 15 of the following year.
Care is advised when comparing catch estimates across an extended time series because of differences in sampling coverage through the years. PSEs are presented with all estimates as a measure of precision. Large PSEs indicate high variability around estimates and therefore low precision. Weight estimates are minimums and may not reflect the actual total weight landed or harvested. Use caution with these values. Please review the GLOSSARY for other import tips on usage.
