Defined as fishers who captained a tuna targeting trip with a NOAA fisheries observer onboard between 2008 and 2012; ∼20% of all tuna trips are observed.

Some fishers in this group also participate in swordfish fishing; swordfish trips are not included in this analysis.

In the final network groups, A was included in the K-A network, B was included in the E-A network, and C and D remained in the K-A network (Table 2).
