    • Highly Migratory Species Exempted Fishing Permits & Landings Data

    Metadata Updated: April 12, 2025

    Throughout the year the Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Management Division issues permits to researchers and many aquariums and private collectors. The majority of these permits require reporting their catch history for each year. Both permit information and catch data is entered into an MS Access database designed for the program.
