Experimental pelagic surface longline data collected during NOAA R/V Townsend Cromwell cruise in 1990 at the SE Hancock Seamount

During Townsend Cromwell (TC) Cruise 90-06, experimental pelagic longlining was conducted for swordfish, Xiphias gladius. Pelagic longline gear consisted of a 0.79 cm diameter nylon/cotton line, which is negatively buoyant. Length of mainline was initially 2,055 m but was later expanded to 2,878 m. During the first five sets, No. 28 circle hooks were used with a dropper length of 1 m. Thereafter, length of 3.6 m were used. During most sets the mainline was buoyed to the surface at 411 m interval and droppers attached to the mainline at 14.5 m intervals. On each set, a single blue or green chemiluminescent Cyalume stick was attached to the snap end of every other dropper. The majority of sets had hooks baited with whole Loligo squid. All sets were soaked during the night; soak time was 2.5-3.5 hours.

UFA Auction Sampling Data

Between 1984 January - 2002 June, personnel from NMFS/PIFSC/FRMD/FMB/FMAP and Hawaii Department of Aquatic Resources (DAR) conducted port sampling at the United Fishing Agency (UFA) Fish Auction. They recorded the total landing at the UFA Fish Auction, with a frequency of six times a week during the earlier years to twice a week during the later years. 

In 2000 January, DAR implemented a Dealer Data collection procedure that receives reports from the fish dealers that are more complete and covers more than just the auction. This Dealer Data takes the place of the UFA Sampling Data, and after a 2.5 year overlap, the collection of the UFA Sampling Data was discontinued in 2002 June. The DAR Dealer Data is archived and documented separately.

HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Fisheries Interactions data

The data set contains records of all documented hookings and/or entanglements of Hawaiian monk seals with actively fished gear, both commercial and recreational.     The data do NOT include fishery interactions in which seals take the bait or the catch without becoming hooked or entangled.  Data include 1) reports from the public or field biologists of seals sighted with embedded hooks; 2) reports from the public or field biologists of seals entangled in nearshore gillnets within the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI); 3) NMFS observer reports, and 4) fishery logbooks.  Reports from the public are followed up by field biologists to verify the incident.  Seals observed entangled in nearshore gillnets in the MHI are generally considered to have become entangled while the gear was being actively fished, rather than when the gear may have been derelict.

HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Blood Values (Establishing hematology and serum chemistry reference ranges for wild Hawaiian Monk Seals)

Hematology and serum chemistry evaluations are essential to a patients comprehensive health exam by providing measures of organ function, blood cell volume and health status.  Reference ranges have to be established to interpret that the values are within normal limits.  Presently, hematology and serum chemistry results from healthy, sick and injured Hawaiian monk seals are interpreted using past studies, which were limited by small samples sizes across age classes, collected from captive Hawaiian monk seals or established using frozen samples.  This study builds on previous studies in sample size, quality and demographic representation to establish blood reference ranges by using samples collected between 2004 and 2015 from wild monk seals of multiple age classes (n=65 seals; 28 adults, 18 subadults, 8 juveniles, 11 weaned pups). Samples were analyzed by a single veterinary diagnostic laboratory within 24 hours of collection from apparently healthy, free-ranging wild seals sampled opportunistically during population monitoring and research activities. Reference ranges were developed for 50 complete blood cell counts and serum chemistry parameters using the mean of the values within two standard deviations. While there are several possible approaches to establishment of reference ranges, this method was chosen to maintain consistency with those used by the veterinary diagnostic laboratory most commonly used for sample analysis. Key indices evaluated include total white blood cell count (WBC; mean- 8.145 K/uL, SD-1.73 ), red blood cell count (RBC; mean- 3.397 M/uL, SD- 0.46), hematocrit (mean- 51.56%, SD- 4.99), and total serum protein (TP; mean- 7.625g/dL, SD- 0.81). The development of comprehensive hematology and serum chemistry reference ranges for Hawaiian monk seals will enable more consistent and systematic interpretation of results, which will aid in the assessment and treatment of seals in rehabilitation and the determination of health status of seals sampled during translocation and other research/recovery activities.

PIR Marine Turtle Nesting and Basking

Effective management of marine turtle data is essential to maximize their research value and enable timely population assessments and recovery monitoring. To provide such capabilities at the National Marine Fisheries Service, a comprehensive Turtle Data Processing System (TDPS, formally called Marine Turtle Data Management System) was created. The system was written in DBase III and Clipper and implemented on IBM/PC-compatible computers running under MS-DOS. As of 2017, TDPS was updated into Microsoft Access. The TDPS is modular, supporting data of various types. Cross-referencing and multiple-encounter analysis are enabled through a core database file of individual turtle identifications, based on uniquely-inscribed flipper tags and passive-integrated transponder tags.

Hawaiian monk seal sighting and human-seal interaction data extracted from Instagram postings to support NMFS monk seal recovery efforts in the main Hawaiian Islands, from 2014-10-01 to 2015-09-30.

As social media platforms develop, they potentially provide valuable information for wildlife researchers and managers.  NOAAâs Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program (HMSRP) is exploring how social media can help scientists understand the biology, ecology and threats to this endangered species. By using the media sharing and social networking service Instagram, we extracted pertinent data while disseminating information and inspiring support for Hawaiian monk seals. Specifically, we investigated how Instagram could: 1) expand our normal data set by identifying individual animals not detected by standard methods, 2) help categorize type and severity of human interactions, 3) provide early warning of concerning seal behaviors, and 4) help assess public perceptions of monk seals. We searched the keyword #monkseal examining a total of 640 public posts from a possible 8,808 available. From these, seals were individually identifiable in 80 posts representing 15.6% of the subpopulation and approximately 108 human-seal interaction events ranging from close approaches to physical interactions. The nature of comments on posts indicated that the general public attitude towards seals is less than 1% negative and that self-policing sometimes occurs on inappropriate posts. Besides gaining information, we were also able to advise the public about seals of concern and solicit information to aid HMSRPâs emergency response. Maximizing benefits on social media requires consideration and tact, especially when promoting a collective mind-shift like responsibly coexisting with wildlife. This relatively new tool has the potential to yield vast amounts of data and soon, developments will streamline data collection, utilization and sharing. Science and technology continue to evolve, and wildlife programs should take advantage of progressive and broadly inclusive tools like social media for the benefit of species conservation.

Lobster Logbook

The NWHI lobster trap fishery, which commenced in the mid-1970s, is a multispecies fishery and primarily targets the Hawaiian spiny lobster (Panuliris marginatus) and the common slipper lobster (Scyllarides squammosus).  The ridgeback slipper lobster (S. haani) became a target species later in the fishery as the live market opened up.  The green spiny lobster (P. penicillatus) and the chinese slipper lobster (Parribacus antarcticus) were incidental catches made in very low abundances.  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.  Octopus were one of the incidental catch species that were retained by some vessels.

The fishery started out as a frozen tail fishery.  Towards the end of the fishery the vessels were returning with live spiny and slipper lobsters.  Majority of the live lobsters were destined for non-US markets.  The frozen tails were marketed world wide.
