Haddock Catch in Herring Fishery by Limited Access Vessels issued All Areas and Areas 2 and 3 Permits Quota Period: May 1, 2010 - April 30, 2011 Report run on: May 5, 2011 For data reported through: April 30, 2011 Cumulative Landings Summary Report

Notice The quota period for the haddock bycatch allowance is based on the Northeast multispecies fishing year (May 1 – April 30), not the Atlantic herring fishing year (January 1 – December 31). Therefore, if the haddock bycatch quota is reached the resulting prohibition on fishing for, possessing, or landing herring in excess of 2,000 lb per trip in or from the Gulf of Maine/Georges Bank Herring Exemption Area would extend through April 30, 2011. These data are the best available to NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) when this report was compiled. Data for this report may be supplied to NOAA Fisheries Service (NMFS) from the following sources: (1) dealers via Dealer Electronic Reporting to either the Standard Atlantic Fisheries Information System (SAFIS) or the Federally Licensed Seafood Dealers Trip Ticket System; (2) NOAA Fisheries Service Observer Program, through audited observer reports submitted by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center; and (3) from the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement via reports resulting from actual dockside inspections of catch. Data in this report are for landings made through April 30, 2011 and may be preliminary. Discrepancies with data from previous reports are due to corrections made to the database.
