Abstract
The fishery buy-back programs were studied to analyze fishery production and CPUE. The results from this study during the concerned period can be derived as follows: 1. In total offshore fisheries, CPUE for each boat increased 8.7%, and 8 fishing categories were increased in CPUE for each boat. CPUE for tonnage increased 4.2% in total offshore fisheries field, and 7 fishing categories increased in CPUE for tonnage. In total offshore fisheries, CPUE for HP increased 6.8%, and 8 fishing categories increased in CPUE for HP. 2. The correlation coefficient of the number of fishing boats vs. production and that of the tonnage vs. production were 0.91. This means that there is a strong relation between them. The correlation coefficient of the number of fishing boats vs. CPUE for each boat and that of the tonnage vs. CPUE for tonnage were -0.73 and -0.88 respectively. This reveals that there is a relatively strong reverse relation between them.
