13 State of Hawai‘i Department of Business, Economic
Development, and Toursim, 2006 Data Book. Due to
revisions to the commercial fishing report forms in
October 2002, licensed commercial fishers no longer
report ex-vessel landing values. The latter information
is collected from a fish dealer reporting system.
The Division of Aquatic Resources is developing an
application to integrate the fishing and fish dealer
reporting systems to summarize landings with ex-vessel
landing value information. Therefore, only total landings
reported by commercial fishers are available at this
time, at http://www.hawaii.gov/dbedt/info/economic/
