    • AFSC/FMA/North Pacific Observer Debriefed Data Presentation Layer (OBSINT)

    Metadata Updated: October 2, 2025

    Observer data span more than two decades and multiple database development interations. To facilitate status of stocks authors and other users of these records, a data set separate from the OLAP was created which reformats and repackages vetted (debriefed) observer data from NORPAC into a common structure, format, and syntax. The granularity of current production data is compromised, however for the purposes of longitudinal research the data set is internally consistant, and spans the developmental boundaries.

    Access Constraints Cite As: Alaska Fisheries Science Center, [Date of Access]: AFSC/FMA/North Pacific Observer Debriefed Data Presentation Layer (OBSINT) [Data Date Range], https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/10657., Access Constraints: All unagregated observer data is confidental to the vessel and or plant from which the fishery activities were observed. Aggredated data is provided to the public by AKFIN and PACFIN., Use Constraints: These data are intended for use by status of stocks authors and other researchers who require a longitudinal view of observer data. Records derived from the production database after 2007 have been modified to afford a presentation layer that spans the entire domestic observer program.
