Steps
Go to the PacFIN Query Builder at pacfin.psmfc.org/data/explorer and select a base table such as COMPREHENSIVE_FT (coastwide fish tickets), COMPREHENSIVE_BDS_COMM, or COMPREHENSIVE_NPAC.
Set filters for state, port, gear type, species (PacFIN species code), and year range.
Run the query to produce a summarized report of landings weight and value; large extracts may need to be scoped narrower to avoid timeouts.
Download the result set (CSV/Excel) for offline analysis, or save the query definition for repeated future runs.
Consult PacFIN's published Query Builder documentation for table definitions and known data caveats such as confidentiality suppression rules.
Known gotchas
PacFIN aggregates and confidentiality-screens data before release — landings for fewer than a threshold number of vessels/dealers in a cell are typically suppressed, so expect blanks in low-count breakdowns.
The Query Builder is a guided reporting UI rather than a documented open REST API; treat scripted access as browser/session automation against the same web tool, not a stable API contract.
