SF staff routinely sails with program participants in order to collect independent catch weight measurements to compare to the Captains’ kept and discard records for verification.The SF Program creates a unique opportunity for the collection of biological data as well as biological samples both by vessel operators and by SF staff. Participant vessels are able to provide biological data and fish to the NEFSC for use in research relevant to species stock assessments and a better understanding of fish biology. Commercial fishermen have the ability to provide samples during periods of time when traditional sample sources are unavailable (i.e., periods when NEFSC bottom trawl surveys are not operating, periods of species closures, specific needs with respect to species presence at certain times of the year and/or in specific locations, etc.) and they can also provide additional information with regards to their encountered catch (i.e., length frequencies, sex ratios, etc.). Monitor and verify participants catch estimation of discard species. Collect biological data during periods of time when traditional sample sources are unavailable to fill in data gaps. completed Burchard, Katie A 401-782-3251 401-782-3292 28 Tarzwell Drive Narragansett RI 02882 USA katie.burchard@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 Study Fleet Program age biological data catch estimation depth fishery dependent data length length frequency maturity sex sex frequency temperature theme continuous temporal Georges Bank Gulf of Maine Mid-Atlantic Northwest Atlantic Southern New England place benthic demersal pelagic stratum 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.

This allows for the possibility of transcribing errors. Taking the weight of fish at sea is difficult due to the unstable environemnt on a vessel. There fore weight is accurate to the nearest tenth place.
