Lineage
Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
1. At the end of each fishing year, each region and SF Office Director, or their designated staff, provide updated data elements including values for Overfishing Limit (OFL), Allowable Biological Catch (ABC), Annual Catch Limits (ACL), and Annual Catch Targets (ACT), as appropriate, and final annual catch data for each stock with an ACL into the Species Information System (SIS). Since the fishing year for stocks may vary, and final annual catch data availability may vary, data are provided at staggered periods, by quarter, throughout the year. The data elements are generally published in the Federal Register as part of the annual specification setting process for each stock. Catch data, including landed commercial catch, discarded commercial catch, retained recreational catch, released recreational catch, research catch, and other catch, are based on a variety of data sources depending on the region and fisheries. Not all data elements are available for all stocks. |
|---|
Process Step 2
| Description: |
Total catch estimates and ratios for comparing total catch to data elements are calculated directly within SIS. |
