Lobster Logbook Data

The NWHI lobster trap fishery, which commenced in the mid-1970s, is a multispecies fishery and primarily targets the Hawaiian spiny lobster and slipper lobster. Three other species, green spiny lobster (P. penicillatus), ridgeback slipper lobster (S. haanii), and Chinese slipper lobster (Parribacus antarcticus) are caught in low abundance. Fishery statistics during the early developmental phase of the fishery (1976-82), prior to the establishment of the Crustaceans FMP, are scant. Also, despite significant changes in trap configuration during the 1980s, information identifying the type of trap fished is not available.
