Table 2.  Observed landings (metric tons) and predicted minimum/maximum harbor porpoise bycatch in the Offshore Management Area by season during 2005-2006.

Year Season Total Offshore Landings Minimum Bycatch Estimate* Maximum Bycatch Estimate*
2005 Fall 105.14 0 1
2005 Winter 416.68 0 49
2006 Fall 293.40 0 3
2006 Winter 86.11 0 10
Annual Averages Combined Season 450.66 0 32

* min bycatch rate = 0.0000, max fall bycatch rate = 0.0102, max winter bycatch rate = 0.11720

Note: Fall season is from September to December, but the Offshore closure begins in November. Winter season is from January to May, though in the 2005 SAR estimates, the winter season was modified due to grouping of bycatch of other species. Landings shown here for winter 2005 reflect the January to May landings and differ from what was reported in the SAR.
