Descriptions of Selected Fishery Landings and Estimates of Vessel Revenue from Areas: A Planning-level Assessment
Prepared by:
National Marine Fisheries Service
June 29, 2021
Data sources:
Commerical Fisheries landings data, Vessel Trip Reports, and Surfclam/OceanQuahog Logbooks
In order to meet requirements of maintaining data confidentiality, these strata are presented individually. In addition, records that did not meet the rule of three (>=3 unique dealers and >= 3 unique permits), values were summarized as ‘ALL OTHERS’.
Some caveats/notes:
- Values are reported in nominal dollars. Values in 2019 dollars are reported as well (see below for details).
- Pounds are reported in landed (dressed) pounds.
- Data summarized here is based on vessels that are required to provide federal VTRs.
- Federal lobster vessels, with only lobster permits, do not have a VTR requirement. Many Atlantic Highly Migratory Species permitted vessels also do not have a VTR requirement. Trips with no VTR are not reflected in this summary.
- There exist other fisheries in State waters that may not be reflected in data from federal sources (e.g. whelk, bluefish). It is recommended to query state agencies for additional data within state waters.
- All summaries presented here are built from percentages of a trip that overlapped spatially with the WEAs. These percentages were applied to landings and values for that trip and summed. This differs from simply using the self-reported VTR/clam logbook locations as those place all value from that trip at a single point. Use of the VTR raster model is more representative as smoothing reported locations reduces the effect of location inaccuracy.

Most Impacted FMPs
We define “most impacted” as the FMPs deriving the most revenue from thearea over the twelve year analysis period of 2008 to 2019, indicating the highest potential for impact to industry from a reduction in fishing area.The top 5 FMPs by revenue in OCS-A 0537 were Sea Scallop, All Others, Surfclam, Ocean Quahog, Summer Flounder, Scup, Black Sea Bass and Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish. Revenue values have been deflated to 2019 dollars. All numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand. Specific figures on these FMPs within the area follow.

Most Impacted Species
We analyzed the top 10 species due to their economic importance in the area and to isolate them from combined FMPs. The top 10 species by revenue are: Sea Scallop, Ocean Quahog, Summer Flounder, Longfin Squid, Black Sea Bass, Scup, Atlantic Mackerel, Atlantic Herring, Monkfish and American Lobster . The category “All Others” refers to species with less than three permits or dealers impacted to protect data confidentiality. Revenue values have been deflated to 2019 dollars. All numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand.

Revenue by Port
The ten most impacted (by revenue) ports are listed below. These ports are estimated to receive the most landings from fishing done within the OCS-A 0537 area. The table below displays each port’s landings revenue breakdown. The table present the cumulative revenues from 2008-2019. New Bedford receives the highest value of landings of any port, with $18.457 million from 2008-2019. All numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand.

Percentage of Revenue by Permit
We also analyzed the percentage of each permit’s total commercial fishing revenue coming from within the OCS-A 0537 area (see boxplots figures and tables below). Boxplots are important statistical summaries because they provide information about the distribution of the percentages. The boxplots below begin at the 1st quartile, or the value beneath which 25 percent of all observations fall. A thick line within the box identifies the median, the observation at which 50 percent of observations are above or beneath. The box ends at the 3rd quartile, or the observation beneath which 75 percent of observations fall. Nonparametric estimates of the minimum and maximum values are also indicated by the “whiskers” (dashed line terminating in a vertical line) that jut out from each side of the box. Any points outside of these whiskers are observations that are considered outliers. In our tables, however, the maximum values are inclusive of outliers. The first table below presents the minimum, 1st quartile, median, 3rd quartile, and maximum values for the area. These are the twelve year revenue percentages. The following table represents the total number of outliers by year. The boxplots in the figures below further separate the area out by year.

Species Dependence
The tables below indicate the top ten species deriving the most revenue from the area by year. Additional information includes landings, and effort (Days-at-Sea, or DAS), occurring within the area of interest, as a percentage of totals generated by that species across the entire region by year and the total number of trips and vessels from the area by year, FMP, species, and port. Trips with less than three permits or dealers have been removed to protect data confidentiality. The category “All Others” refers to gear type categories with less than three permits or dealers impacted to protect data confidentiality.
