Fisheries Sampling Branch Data Collection Focusing on similarities/differences between NEFOP and ASM groundfish data
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) Fisheries Sampling Branch (FSB) collects, maintains, and distributes data for scientific and management purposes in the Northwest Atlantic. FSB manages three separate but related observer programs: Northeast Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP), At Sea Monitoring (ASM), and Industry Funded Scallop (IFS). Although each program is tailored to meet specific monitoring objectives, all programs operate within and are governed by the same laws, and are subject to the same standards in regard to data quality and confidentiality, safety, and harassment.
NEFOP and IFS priorities focus on the following objectives: • Collecting accurate catch data in fisheries that interact with groundfish and other species (tow-by-
tow basis) • Monitoring catch in experimental fisheries and special management programs such as Species
Access Programs (SAPs) and fishing in the U.S./Canada Management Area • Monitoring catch in scallop access areas • Sampling fish and crustacean catch in fisheries throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic
regions • Collecting detailed biological samples (age structures, lengths, etc.) for fish, invertebrates, and
protected species
ASM priorities focus on the following objectives: • Collecting select information on fishing gear to categorize effort • Collecting accurate catch data in the NE multispecies fishery (tow-by-tow basis) • Sampling fish catch in fisheries throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions • Collecting select information on interactions with protected species
The main difference between the two programs is ASM collects a scaled down set of data, thereby reducing training time, gear requirements, and internal support resources. NEFOP focuses on biological sampling of catch including protected species. Biological sampling involves collecting data on age, length, sex, animal condition, and gear interactions in order to provide end users with data to determine the health of a fish stock, project biomass, and to use in scientific studies of life history that examine the distribution of stock, matriarchal lines, and contaminate and food habit studies. ASMs collect data to verify area fished and catch (landings and discards), by species and gear type, for the purpose of monitoring sector ACE utilization (FY2015_Multispecies_Sector_ASM_Requirements_Summary).
The NE multispecies groundfish fishery is covered by both NEFOP and ASM sampling protocols. All groundfish trips follow the same process:
• Observer uploads preliminary data within 48 hours of landing o Both programs upload all ASM data fields electronically
• Species verification samples/photos are checked in within 48 hours of receipt (photo upload or physical sample arrival)
o Both programs have the same species verification requirements • Preliminary data is reviewed and loaded to SIMM within 5 days of landing
1
• Observer submits paper logs within 5 days of landing o Both programs currently use paper logs for verification of electronic submissions
• Paper log data is compared to electronic data and any additional changes are made and reloaded to SIMM within 30 days of landing
• Biological samples are checked in within a week and sent for processing within 90 days o NEFOP biological samples include whole fish/invertebrate samples, whole protected
species or samples, otoliths, scales, monkfish vertebrate, and specialized research tags
After review, the NEFOP data fields are entered into a separate data entry system, audited, and loaded to the observer database for use by NEFSC end-users, a process that typically takes about 90 days from trip landing.
