CORRECTION: The original publication of this report, released in February 2009, had

incorrect summaries in Tables 5a, 5b, and 5c. The original tables were incorrect because of the way the data were stratified. This report contains the corrected Tables 5a, 5b, and 5c

which summarize data by statistical area. The row totals and grand totals originally reported remain unchanged; however, statistical area assignments have changed. This report also

contains a corrected Appendix Table 1a which summarizing the catch and discard reasons. The catch and discard reasons associated with ‘ALL species’ have changed; all other values

in this table remain unchanged.

Pursuant to section 515 of Public Law 106-554 (the Information Quality Act), this information product has undergone a pre-dissemination review by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, completed on January 26, 2009.

SBRM Annual Discard Report Background The Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology (SBRM) Omnibus amendment requires an annual discard report based on Northeast Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP) data to be prepared by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) and provided to the Councils. Specifically, the requirements are as follows:

"Once each year, the Science and Research Director will present to the Councils a report on catch and discards occurring in Northeast Region fisheries, as reported to the NEFOP by at-sea fisheries observers. This annual discard report will include: (1) The number of observer sea days scheduled for each fishery, by area and gear type, in each quarter; (2) the percent of total trips observed, by gear type, in each quarter; (3) the distribution of sea sampling trips by gear type and statistical area in each fishery; (4) the observed catch and discards of each species, by gear type and fishery, in each quarter; and (5) the observed catch and discards of each species, by gear type and fishery, in each statistical area."1

This report summarizes the NEFOP data for a recent 12 month period and is comprised of two sections, as described below. Further information on the SBRM Omnibus amendment is available at the New England Fishery Management Council website at http://www.nefmc.org/issues/sbrm/. Further information on the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program is available at the NEFSC website at http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/femad/fishsamp/fsb/ .

Data Used This annual discard report is based on July 2007 to June 2008 NEFOP data. This data set includes all hauls from NEFOP observed trips using ‘limited’ sampling or ‘complete’ sampling protocols. Any NEFOP data that required aggregation beyond the fleet2

As in the SBRM analysis of precision

level or data that could not be stratified to a fleet due to missing gear, area or mesh information were excluded from the fleet summaries. Data from ‘off-watch’ hauls and data from aborted trips were excluded from all summaries. Additionally, some NEFOP data, representing 10 trips, have not been included due to limitations associated with data auditing (computerized data not available yet). All non-living matter (including debris consisting of rock, metal, glass, wood, rope, rubber, etc.) and previously-living matter (including stomach contents or clappers) have been excluded from this report. Incidental takes that were classified as too decomposed to have been killed by the gear that captured them and seals and large whales that were not seriously injured by the gear have also been removed. Conversion factors were applied to convert any dressed weight data to live weight equivalents.

two broad geographical regions, New England and Mid-Atlantic, based upon the port: ports located from Maine to Rhode Island were grouped together to form the New England (NE) region and ports located in states from Connecticut southward comprised the Mid-Atlantic (MA) region. Gear type is based upon Northeast gear codes (negear). Some gear codes were combined into a single category (e.g. mid-water paired trawl and mid-water single trawl). Mesh size groups were formed for the otter trawl and gillnet gear types. For otter trawl, two mesh groups were formed: small (sm; less than 5.5 inches) and large (lg; 5.5 inches and greater). For gillnet, three mesh groups were formed: small (sm; less than 5.5 inches), large (lg; from 5.5 to 7.99 inches) and extra large (xlg; 8 inches and greater). NEFOP trips were assigned to one of five access area categories based on the NEFOP program code. The five access area categories include: Access Area (AA), US/Canada (US/CAN), B-day Program (BDP), Hook Special Access Program (HOOK), and OPEN. Trips that used either scallop trawl or scallop dredge were further classified into two trip categories: General (GEN) or Limited Access (LIM)4

; trips using other gear types were assigned a trip category of ‘all’. In this report, ‘area’ refers to statistical area.

Annual Discard Report Tables The table numbers in this annual discard report correspond to the report requirements listed in the Federal Register (above). The annual discard report is divided into two sections: Section 1 contains Tables 1-5, where Tables 4a-b and 5a-b summarize data at a species group level. Section 2 contains Tables 4c-d and 5c-d where data are summarized at the individual species level. Tables 4 and 5 are partitioned into two parts because fish/invertebrate species are reported in pounds while the interactions of incidental take species are reported in numbers of individuals. Appendix tables summarizing information on discard reason and interactions with incidental take species are also provided in Section 1. Appendix tables include data from trips that could not be classified to a fleet.

Cautionary Note to Readers This report is a comprehensive summary of the data collected on observed trips by NEFOP trained at-sea observers. No discard estimation, resulting from an expansion of discard ratios, has been performed for this report. It is improper to calculate discard to kept ratios using this report because the data utilized to generate this report includes data from all hauls for which an observer was ‘on-watch’, including hauls where discard data were not collected due to incidental take sampling and trips with ‘limited’ sampling protocols. It is also improper to compare discard amounts across fleets without accounting for the number of observed trips by fleet; the number of observed trips will vary by fleet. This report is not intended to replace analyses that subset NEFOP data for discard estimation. Readers should also note that Tables 1, 2 and 3 slightly inflate the number of observed sea days and trips because a single trip may use multiple gears and mesh sizes and/or fish in multiple statistical areas. The actual number of sea days and trips are reported in the table captions.

It is important to note that the SBRM annual discard report provides a broad summarization of NEFOP data. Subsequent SBRM analyses and/or species-specific stock assessment analyses may differ from this report due to differences in stratification and data used.
