Participating vessels collect data within their permitted fisheries using normal commercial fishing operations, and are selected to address specific research topics. Vessels collect data via electronic logbook (ELB) and submit the data to NMFS (refer to VERS system for details). The data collected by the vessel operators serve as the basis for ancillary data which are collected by Study Fleet staff and are usually associated with one or more targeted research objectives. The data collected from these vessels can be used to supplement the stock assessment process and are especially useful when catch data are limited. The NEFSC Study Fleet program was initiated to assemble groups of commercial New England vessels capable of providing high resolution (temporal and spatial) self-reported data on catch, effort and environmental conditions while conducting "normal" fishing operations. The ultimate goals are for scientific researchers to: Provide additional data sources to the stock assessment process Gain a better understanding of fishing operation in the region Improve the accuracy and precision of fishery dependent data Examine the catch estimation error associated with fishery dependent data Collect biological samples based on specific special/temporal needs Collect oceanographic data (temperature depth) during fishing activities completed Hoey, John J 401-782-3323 401-782-3201 28 Tarzwell Drive Narragansett RI 02882 USA john.hoey@noaa.gov pointOfContact Morin, Michael D 401-782-3278 401-782-3292 28 Tarzwell Drive Narragansett RI 02882 USA mike.morin@noaa.gov custodian continual Cooperative Research area fished biological observations catch eVTR fishing effort gear characteristics self-reported data study fleet temperature depth theme Mid-Atlantic New England place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/NEFSC > Northeast 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.

Cooperative Research is designed to bring stakeholders together in a spirit of mutual participation, enabling an environment of shared knowledge and collaborative management strategies. As such, the Study Fleet program provides several benefits to its commercial participants including: Participate directly in the scientific data collection process Documentation of fishery and anecdotal knowledge inaccessible to researchers Sharing of ideas and observations among fisheries scientists and commercial fishermen Gain insight into how environmental factors influence catch rates Financial compensation for time and effort involved false eng false Data Table Table: GPS_LOAD_HISTORY 2016-09-01 publication Table: GPS_LOAD_METHOD 2016-09-01 publication Table: GPS_POLL_DATA 2016-09-01 publication Table: GTE_CODES 2016-09-01 publication Table: GTE_EDITING_LIST 2016-09-01 publication Table: GTE_EFFORTS 2016-09-01 publication Table: GTE_JOIN 2016-09-01 publication Table: GTE_JOIN_AUDIT 2016-09-01 publication Table: GTE_LOAD_HISTORY 2016-09-01 publication Table: GTE_TRIPS 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_AGE_TYPES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_BIOSAMPLE 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_BIOSAMPLE_AGE 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_BIOSAMPLE_EXT 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_BIOSAMPLE_TYPES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_CATCH_EST 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_CATCH_TYPES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_DATA_TYPES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_LENGTH_FREQ 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_LENGTH_TYPES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_LENWGT_CONV 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_MATURITY_CODES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_PROGRAM_CODES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_QTY_TYPES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_REQUEST_SAMPLES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_SEX_CODES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_SEX_FREQ 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_TRIP_TYPES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_BIOSAMP_WEIGHT_TYPES 2016-09-01 publication Table: SF_SAMPLING_PROJECTS 2016-09-01 publication Table: TD_DEPLOYMENT_FILES 2016-09-01 publication Table: TD_DEPLOYMENT_HISTORY 2016-09-01 publication Table: TD_LOCATION 2016-09-01 publication Table: TD_PROBE_DATA 2016-09-01 publication dataset Accuracy Data are audited in several ways: a) automated database audit triggers and procedures, b) post load comparison to other data sets (eg. matching biological sample trips to Observer data to examine fishing location and species composition), c) determination of 'realistic' values (eg. does the age determined from an age structure agree with the measured length of the fish) Catch data are collected using the FLDRS data collection system (refer to VERS system), these data serve as the basis for additional data elements collected by Study Fleet staff which are stored in the NERS database. Study Fleet staff collect field data both on paper or via electronic application, logistics are dependent upon the particular configuration of the vessel and the data collection objectives of the specific trip.
