SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
Fishery quotas are established for
many species in the fishery management
plans developed by both the Gulf of
Mexico Reef Fish Fishery Management
Council and the South Atlantic Fishery
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Management Council. The Southeast
Fisheries Science Center has been
delegated the responsibility to monitor
these quotas. To do so in a timely
manner, seafood dealers that handle
these species are required to report the
purchases (landings) of these species.
The frequency of these reporting
requirements varies depending on the
magnitude of the quota (e.g., lower
quota usually require more frequent
reporting) and the intensity of fishing
effort. The most common reporting
frequency is twice a month; however,
some fishery quotas, (e.g., the mackerel
gill net) necessitate weekly or by the trip
reporting.
In addition, information collection
included in this family of forms
includes interview with fishermen to
gather information on the fishing effort,
location and type of gear used on
individual trips. This data collection is
conducted for a subsample of the fishing
trips and vessel/trips in selected
commercial fisheries in the Southeast
region. Fishing trips and individuals are
selected at random to provide a viable
statistical sample. These data are used
for scientific analyses that support
critical conservation and management
decisions made by national and
international fishery management
organizations.
II. Method of Collection
Dealer reports may be emailed, faxed
or mailed. Information from fisherman
is obtained by face-to-face interviews.
III. Data

Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).

for-profit organizations.
