Book excerpt: "The goal of the work covered in this report was to use information gathered by NOAA's Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) to generate reef fish catch estimates during the years 2004-2011 in Hawaii. The goal is to provide an explicit and transparent means to generate substitution weights (i.e., a mean weight per fish caught per taxon and fishing mode) for MRIP expansion records that include estimated harvest (number of fish caught) but not estimated catch weight"--Objectives and background.
