This report describes fishery monitoring and research related to tunas, billfishes, and other pelagic species conducted from May 1, 2003, through April 30, 2004, by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) at its Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC). Summaries of activities and recent findings are provided for programs that monitor NMFS-managed fisheries in the western and central Pacific including domestic fisheries based in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Also described are PIFSC programs in data management, stock assessment, and biological, economic, and oceanographic research. Although most of the projects reported are carried out by PIFSC staff, many are by scientists of the NOAA-University of Hawaii Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (JIMAR) sponsored by NMFS and working at the PIFSC. / NOTE: Administrative rept. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
