Video recordings of fish catch composition aboard selected vessels are collected are stored on hard drives in an effort to track vessel catch and discards to accurately debit discarded catch from the individual fishing quota (IFQ) account of each account holder. This information is collected in place of the sampling for species composition of the catch conducted by human at-sea catch monitors or observers. Reviewers of the videos enter data from the drives and maintain data integrity and quality. Raw, reviewed electronic monitoring data collected by Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission must have additional data items added to it to conform to the standard format of data normally collected by Alaska observers in order for the data to be processed by catch accounting of the NMFS Alaska Regional Office. The EM_OBSINT tables contain these transformed data. These data, like data collected by Alaska groundfish observers, and transmitted electronically to the AFSC and are the source data for those interfaces used for fishery management, scientific inquiry and fishing activity monitoring by industry. Video review data is merged with other data necessary for catch accounting of the Alaska Regional Office. The prime purpose of the information and monitoring technologies program is to facilitate the flow of quality data which meets the needs of agency clients and allows the conduct of research and industry outreach, addressing data quality issues while maintaining data confidentiality. underDevelopment Thompson, Lisa 206-526-4229 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115-6349 USA lisa.thompson@noaa.gov custodian Fishery-Dependent Tracked Asset theme Fisheries AFSC AI Alaska Alaska Fisheries Science Center Aleutian Islands BS BSAI Bering Sea Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands EEZ Exclusive Economic Zone GOA Gulf of Alaska North Pacific theme DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AFSC > Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
