The Fish Sampling at Lata Fish Market in Temotu Province, Solomon Islands

The data sampling was taken originally from the fishers and not from fish vendors. Fishers were voluntarily provided their fish catches on day basis to the fisheries enumerators. The data contained fish species fished by the local fishers both from the offshore and inshore region within Temotu provincial water and for instance the most dominant fish family are from Lutjanidae and Scombridae. The fish sampling was purposely to provide a baseline information for Temotu Provincial Government on its fisheries on the basis that a private fish company (called Temout Fish Ltd) operates in the province purchasing fish from the local fishermen.
