38  Fishery Landings

Description Fishery landings are indicators of ecosystem services provided and also reflect removals from the CCE. Commercial landings data are best summarized by the Pacific Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN; pacfin.psmfc.org), and recreational landings are best summarized by the Recreational Fisheries Information Network (RecFIN; www.recfin.org). Landings provide the best long-term indicator of fisheries removals. Status and trends are estimated relative to a frame of reference of 1991-2020. In most cases, landings data for the most recent reporting years are only complete through the latter months (e.g., October-December); these data are updated in the next annual cycle.

Commercial landings data are reported coastwide and by state (CA, OR, WA) by fishery species category; in the case of recreational landings, however, we use the same geographic reporting distinctions but differentiate only between salmon recreational and total recreational landings.
