CNMI Northern Island Bottomfish System (NIBS)

This was a DFW market sampling program that existed for a few years back in the late 1990s-2000s for the developing Northern Island bottomfish fishery (years need to be checked). This is near census sampling of some of the trips to the northern islands, and effort, species ID, weight and length data by fishing location were collected while the program was active. As the fishery declined and resources at DFW became more scarce, this voluntary sampling program was terminated. These data are considered confidential.
