Table 4.3. Fishing activity reported by federally-permitted fishing vessels using fixed gear in the Northeast Region (35-45ºN) during 1995-2001. (Data shown as ranges in number of trips per 10′ square (TMS) of latitude and longitude, and as cumulative number of trips (in parentheses) associated with percentiles of total reported fishing activity that are mapped in figures 4.7-4.13. Number in last column is the total number of trips reported in all TMSs in the region for that gear type. Note: Not all trips in fishing vessel trip database could be assigned to TMSs (see Table 4.1).)
