NEW DATA RELEASE: FISHERY-INDEPENDENT SETLINE SURVEY INTERACTIVE DATA (2018)

The International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) is pleased to announce the scheduled data release of the interactive raw data from our most recent Fishery-Independent Setline Survey (FISS):

We previously communicated fishery-independent setline survey results via meeting documents and presentations at the commencement on the first day of our Interim Meeting (late November). However, due to stakeholder feedback and in an attempt to provide more timely updates, we have decided to take an improved and advanced approach.

The 2018 Fishery-Independent Setline Survey raw data results are now available on our interactive data webpage, provided at the link above. The available views allow users to interactively review the raw results from the Fishery-Independent Setline Surveys for 2018 and prior years with an ability to drill down and track differences among areas and across years.

The updated page may also be accessed via the “Data” link found at the top of each page of the IPHC website.
