In 1990, approximately 113,900 pounds of offshore fish (including both bottomfish and pelagic species) were landed by the domestic fleet of 39 part-time vessels. Decreasing trends in fishing effort, annual catch, and revenue were due primarily to fleet damage that occurred after two hurricanes struck American Samoa in 1987 and 1990.
