QA/QC

Issues/Edits:
4-Feb-11

1. 2005 Seafoods Prodicer's Cooperative Annual Report is incomplete, and the productions/waste information 

is not entered for that year due to the incomplete information (info available through Nov)

2. Added a total seafood waste (by year) column to worksheet

 3. Resurection Seafoods-Seward whitefish waste totals incorrect 

changed whitefish total 2005, 2006

question: for years that don't specify salmon/whitefish, where should waste be noted? For Resurrection, post2006 was recorded as whitefish since that was the major waste type when waste/species were distinguished

4. Inlet Fish producers (permit ending in 2048). There is a discrepency between the totals resulting from the 

waste numbers in their report and how we've been calculating waste (raw-finished=waste). Their reported waste 

numbers are nearly half of what we calculated for 2005 salmon waste, for example. This is an issue for all years. 

Also, please see salmon/halibut waste proportion issue for 2008.

5. Inlet fish raw waste total 2005 changed (incorrect summation)

6. Inlet fish raw waste total 2006changed (incorrect summation)

7. Inlet Fish Producers (permit ending in 487). Again, waste totals do not match raw-finished (for 2005, 2007, 

2008). For example, in 2007 their product outweighed their raw material. They are saying fresh/frozen is 

product, not something like fishmeal, would could be potentially bulky. Also, not sure that salmon/halibut yrs 

(e.g. 2008) should have all of their waste in the non-salmon category.

8. Snug Harbor. Whitefish total 2005 was inccorect--changed. Discrepency for whitefish total 2006 (see note (I 

recalculated raw and finished, so I believe it might be an error)

Snug Harbor raw fish totals for 2006, 2007 were incorrect---changed.

minor waste discrepency for non-salmon 2007, 2008

9. Harbor Crown. Changed 2005 product volume. Discrepency with non-salmon waste volume fore 2005-2007 

(waste discharge numbers in annual reports vs. raw-finished product)

10. Trident KTN-changed volume of salmon waste 2007, 2008

11. Ocean Beauty KTN (AKG520402). 2005 total product was changed (incorrect number)

12. Deep Creek--waste volumes need addressed. They were divided by two b/c two species of fish for 2005. for 

2006, no species were identified and the volume was placed in whitefish. I also changed the waste value for 

2006, because it was miscalculated.

13. moved deep creek and ocean beauty---Nikiski into Kenai group

14. put in volumes of raw fish for Homer. 2005 report explains that they are only a grinding facility and that they 

take fish carcases, grind them and discharge. No finished product.
