SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Based on the management regime 

specified each year, designated 

regulatory areas in the commercial 

ocean salmon fishery off the coasts of 

Washington, Oregon, and California 

may be managed by numerical quotas. 

To accurately assess catches relative to 

quota attainment during the fishing 

season, catch data by regulatory area 

must be collected in a timely manner. 

The requirements to land salmon within 

specific time frames and in specific 

areas may be implemented in the 

preseason regulations to aid in timely 

and accurate catch accounting for a 

regulatory area. State landing systems 

normally gather the data at the time of 

landing. If unsafe weather conditions or 

mechanical problems prevent 

compliance with landing requirements, 

fishermen need an alternative to allow 

for a safe response. Fishermen would be 

exempt from landing requirements if the 

appropriate notifications are made to 

provide the name of the vessel, the port 

where delivery will be made, the 

approximate amount of salmon (by 

species) on board, and the estimated 

time of arrival. 

II. Method of Collection 

Notifications are made via at-sea radio 

or cellular phone transmissions.
