Based on 1st quarter FY2008 data, the ratio of dealer reported haddock landings to Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) reported haddock kept equals 0.95 for the non-trawl fishery. For the remainder of the fishing year, based on FY2007 data the ratio of dealer reported haddock landings to Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) reported haddock kept equals 1.21.





Notice
Previous quota reports were based on catch from all trips that declared Area 2 through VMS even if the trip never entered Area 2. Excluding catch from trips that never entered the Eastern U.S./Canada Area is a more accurate reflection of the current harvest of the Eastern Georges Bank TAC established under the U.S./Canada Resource Sharing Understanding.

Note on January Framework Adjustment 42 suspension.

The 2008 Quota Period began on May 1, 2008, therefore this report does not contain any landings reported prior to May 1, 2008.

Management actions for the U.S./Canada Management Area, under the authority of the Regional Administrator (such as closures and possession limits) are based upon Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) reports and other available information.
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) vessels via Vessel Monitoring System; (2) NOAA Fisheries Service Observer Program, through audited observer reports submitted by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center. Data in this report are for landings made through May 3, 2009 and may be preliminary. Differences with data from previous reports are due to corrections made to the database and updates to observer data.
