For inseason management and for analysis of fishery regulations and their impacts, the Northwest Region relies on several of the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission's state-based data systems. These include PacFIN (commercial), RecFIN(recreational) and EFIN (economic). The regional office also makes use of the Northwest Fisheries Science Center's West Coast Groundfish Observer Data (commercial).

For understanding market trends, the Northwest Region often uses U.S. Foreign Trade Data (U.S. imports and exports of fishery products) and information developed by other NOAA Fisheries Service regions and its Office of Science and Technology (Japanese statistics developed by the Southwest Region, Fishery Market News). The regional office also relies on the Pacific Fishery Management Council's Groundfish and Salmon Stock Assessment and Evaluation (SAFE) documents. Northwest Region permit data is used for many analyses.
