D/V Ratio - estimated ratios of dealer weight to VMS-reported hail weight based on FY2007 data. Multispecies yellowtail - 1.07, scallop - 1.00

*Use Vessel Trip Reports up to three months ago to apportion dealer-reported scallop landings to U.S./Canada Area and apply observed yellowtail bycatch rate from last available year.






Notice
Due to the recent suspension of most provisions of Framework Adjustment 42 there has been a change in how yellowtail flounder is counted on flex trips. Please refer to here for more details.

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.
