Abstract:
HMS regulations at ยง635.5 (b)(2)(i)(A) require bluefin tuna landing card data to be collected via a fax-in system or electronic data entry. The data fields collected include date, dealer number, vessel number, vessel master signature, gear, fishing location, tag number, landing port and fish size. Up until now, only the fax-in system has been operationally available. However, in conjunction with the development of an individual bluefin quota (IBQ) management system under the final rule for Amendment 7 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS Fishery Management Plan (RIN 0648-BC09), electronic entry of these data will be necessary for bluefin purchased from Longline and Purse seine category vessels, about 50% of the bluefin landings. Real-time landings data are necessary to support the management of individual bluefin quota shares. Until the electronic entry is thoroughly tested and implemented, both forms of reporting will be required.
