Table 4.2. Fishing activity reported by
federally-permitted fishing vessels using mobile, bottom-tending gears in the
Northeast Region (35-45ºN) during 1995-2001. (Data shown as ranges in number of 24-hr
days per 10′ square (TMS) of latitude and longitude, and as cumulative
number of 24-hr days (in parentheses), associated with percentiles of total
reported fishing activity that are mapped in Figures 4.2-4.6. Number in last column is the total number
of days at sea in all TMSs in the region for that gear type, as calculated
from the time absent from port for each reported trip. Note: Not all trips in fishing vessel trip
database could be assigned to TMSs (see Table 4.1).)
