The processed products data are at the national level and include all regions. The data from some processors in American Territories are also included. 1969 false eng false PPS Tables 2015-12-22 publication dataset Representativeness Production volume and value for seafood processors within the continental United States, and applicable territories, for companies that are sampled with the ST1 sampling frame. Survey is voluntary for all but federally licensed processors in the Northeast and there may be an annual variation in response rate. Accuracy Results may be effected by differences in annual survey return rates, coverage, and recency of the sampling frame. Bias Some companies may be missing from the data due to non-response or not being identified for the current year's sampling. Completeness Report Processors are defined as an entity that changes the form of seafood products. For example, a processor that takes in a fresh fish and sells it frozen would qualify as a processor for the purposes of this survey. Entities that change packaging, re-package, or move product without changing it's form do not fall into the definition of processor for the survey. The NMFS Survey of Fishery Processors is the only comprehensive, national survey that focuses on the domestic seafood processing industry. In all regions except the Northeast, the survey is voluntary. In the Northeast it is mandatory for processors with a federal processing permit to provide the requested data. The survey instrument is a paper form that asks for monthly employment figures, a list of product types and the volume and value of each product processed in the previous year. Space is provided for the company to fill in new products. The survey forms are produced by NOAA Fisheries Office of Science and Technology and mailed to five different regional contacts. Each region then proceeds slightly differently: • Northeast – The distribution of forms to companies is overseen by a lead port agent. Other port agents may assist with collecting information from the companies in their area. Dealer permits are not renewed if the processor has not provided the required data. • Southeast and Gulf – Forms are distributed through the Southeast Fishery Science Center to the port agents along the coast who are then responsible for obtaining the data from the companies. • Southwest and Northwest – Forms are distributed through, and returned to, the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission office under an agreement with NMFS. • Pacific Islands – Forms are distributed and collected by Pacific Islands Regional Office staff. The companies in the survey are those that have reported previously or have been found by research or word-of-mouth. Adding companies in order to have a more complete data frame is a constant goal throughout the year. Forms are returned to the Office of Science and Technology for data entry. Follow up contact may be attempted to clarify data that is excluded or unclear. Because the survey is voluntary, we do not receive data from every company we contact. We employ various estimation and alternate data collection methods: • Most Alaska data is obtained from the Alaska Fisheries Information Network (AKFIN). • Data on salmon processing come from the Alaska Department of Revenue. • USDA reports provide data on catfish and rainbow trout processing. • Data from the NOAA Seafood Inspection Program are used to estimate the data for companies that have not reported to the Survey of Fishery Processors but are included in the inspection program • Finally, imputation is used to estimate the remaining missing companies. Pre-printed forms with company contact information and previously reported seafood products are printed by the Office of Science and Technology. The surveys are then organized and packaged by region and sent to NMFS Regional Offices or Regional Council representatives for distribution. 2014-12-17T00:00:00 Surveys are received by NMFS Regional Offices and Regional Council personnel and are distributed to the seafood processing companies. Follow-up attempts are made with the companies and data are returned within a time frame of 1-4 months. Surveys are sent to Office of Science and Technology personnel as they are returned to the regional representative. 2014-05-19T00:00:00 Data are entered by Office of Science and Technology personnel using an online data entry tool, also designed and maintained by the Office of Science and Technology. 2015-07-31T00:00:00 Data from the USDA Catfish Processing Report or the Catfish Database are used to flesh out the received catfish processing data. 2014-07-28T00:00:00 Data from Alaska Department Revenue: Tax Division are used for salmon processing data. 2015-07-29T00:00:00 Data are obtained from the NMFS Seafood Inspection Service to use as a production estimation for applicable non-respondents. 2015-07-31T00:00:00 Mathematical estimation techniques are applied to last year's data to compensate for non-respondents. 2015-08-10T00:00:00 All data are incorporated into working tables in the data-set and after some analysis are transferred to archive tables. 2015-10-23T00:00:00
