Instructions for
CATCHER/PROCESSOR TRAWL GEAR
DAILY CUMULATIVE PRODUCTION LOGBOOK (DCPL)

REQUIREMENTS
Unless approved to use an electronic logbook, the operator of a catcher/processor that is required to have
an Federal Fisheries permit (FFP) under § 679.4(b), that is using trawl gear to harvest groundfish, and that
retains any groundfish from the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) or Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management
Area (BSAI) is required to use a combination of catcher/processor trawl gear DCPL and eLandings to
record and report daily processor identification information, catch-by-haul landings information,
groundfish production data, and groundfish and prohibited species discard or disposition data.
Account for each day of the fishing year.
The operator must account for each day of the fishing year, January 1 through December 31, in the
DCPL.
Two logbooks of same gear type.
If more than one logbook of the same gear type is used in a fishing year, the page numbers must follow
the consecutive order of the previous logbook.
Two logbooks of different gear types.
If two logbooks of different gear types are used in a fishing year, the page numbers in each logbook must
start with page one.
Two logbooks of different operation types.
If vessel functions as both a mothership and as a catcher/processor in a fishing year, a separate logbook of
each type must be maintained. The page numbers in each logbook must start with page one.
DATA ENRY TIME LIMITS
The operator of a catcher/processor using trawl gear must record in the DCPL or eLandings the
information in the following table for each haul within the specified time limit:

ACTIVE AND INACTIVE TIME PERIODS IN THE DCPL
The operator must indicate whether the vessel was active or inactive during the time period. A
catcher/processor using trawl gear is active when processing groundfish or when all or part of the trawl
net is in the water. An inactive period is defined as a time period other than active.
Record January 1 on page 1.
The operator must record the first day of the year, January 1, on page one of the DCPL regardless of
whether the vessel was active or inactive. The operator must record time periods consecutively.
Required information for inactive periods.
If inactive, the operator must record the following information on one logsheet in the DCPL:
Catcher/processor name, Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) processor code, FFP
number, operator printed name, operator signature, and page number.
Mark “inactive.”
Record the date (mm/dd) of the first day when inactive under “Start date.”
Write brief explanation why inactive, e.g., bad weather or equipment failure. If inactive due to
surrender of a FFP, write “surrender of permit” as reason for inactivity.

OMB Control No. 0648-0213
Expiration Date: 09/30/2008

Record the date (mm/dd) of the last day when inactive under “End date.”
Inactive two or more quarters.
If the inactive time period extends across two or more successive quarters, the operator must complete a
logsheet for each inactive quarter: the first logsheet to indicate the first and last day of the first inactive
quarter and the second logsheet to indicate the first and last day of the second inactive quarter.
REQUIRED INFORMATION, IF ACTIVE
If the catcher/processor is active, the operator must record for one day per logsheet in the DCPL, the
information described below:
IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION.
Date.
Enter date of each day (mm/dd/yy). This date is also the date of gear deployment. Use a separate
logsheet for each day.
Page number.
Number the pages in each logbook consecutively, beginning on the first page of the DCPL with page 1
for January 1 and continuing for the remainder of the fishing year.
Printed name and signature of operator.
The operator’s name must be printed in the DCPL. The operator must sign each completed logsheet of
the DCPL as verification of acceptance of the responsibility to provide accurate, complete, and timely
data. The operator’s signature is due by noon of the day following the week-ending date of the weekly
reporting period.
Vessel identification.
Name of vessel as displayed in official documentation; FFP number of the vessel; and ADF&G processor
code.
Federal reporting area.
Record the Federal reporting area code where gear retrieval was completed, regardless of where the
majority of the set took place. Use the reporting area codes presented in Figure 1 and Figure 3 to
part 679. Use a separate logsheet for each reporting area.
C. Opilio Crab Bycatch Limitation Zone (COBLZ) or Red King Crab Savings Area (RKCSA).
If gear retrieval occurred in the COBLZ (see Figure 13 to part 679) or RKCSA (see Figure 11 to part 679)
area within a reporting area, use two separate logsheets, the first to record the information from the
reporting area that includes COBLZ or RKCSA, and the second to record the information from the
reporting area that does not include COBLZ or RKCSA.
Crew size.
Record the number of crew members (including operator), excluding certified observer(s), on the last day
of the weekly reporting period.
Gear type.
Use a separate logsheet for each gear type. Indicate whether pelagic trawl or non-pelagic trawl gear was
used to harvest the fish.

Expiration Date: 09/30/2008

Management program.
Indicate whether harvest occurred under a special management program: CDQ Program, Research
Fishery, Exempted Fishery, or Aleutian Islands Pollock Fishery (AIP) and add identifying number, if
appropriate. Use a separate logsheet for each management program. Use a separate logsheet for each
identifying number of the same program type. If harvest is not under one of these management programs,
leave blank.
Observer information.
Record the number of observers aboard, the name of the observer(s), and the observer cruise number(s).

CATCH-BY-HAUL INFORMATION.
The operator must record the following information for each haul. If no catch occurred for a given day,
write “no catch.”
Haul number. Number hauls sequentially by year.
Gear Deployment (Or To Set Gear).
Record the following information for trawl gear deployment:
The time (in military format, A.l.t.) when the trawl net enters the water, and
The position (latitude and longitude to the nearest minute; indicate E or W for longitude) where the
trawl net enters the water.
Gear Retrieval (Or To Haul Gear).
Record the following information for trawl gear retrieval:
The date (mm/dd) and time (in military format, A.l.t.) when retrieval of trawl gear cable begins.
The position (in latitude and longitude to the nearest minute; indicate E or W for longitude) where
retrieval of trawl gear cable begins.
Average sea depth and average gear depth.
Average sea depth and average gear depth; indicate whether average is reported to the nearest meter or
fathom. Use the same units to report sea depth and gear depth throughout the year.
Target Species Code.
Enter the species code of the species you intended to catch this haul. Enter only a single target species
code of the desired target.
IR/IU species (see § 679.27).
If a catcher/processor, enter species code of IR/IU species and estimated total round weight for each
IR/IU species, if applicable; indicate whether estimated weight is to the nearest pound or the nearest
0.001 mt. Use one line to record information for each IR/IU species, including species code and amount
of catch. If more than one IR/IU species are to be recorded, the operator should use a separate line for
each species.
Total Estimated Hail Weight.
If not using NMFS-approved scales, the operator must record the hail weight of each haul. Total hail
weight is an estimate of the total weight of the entire catch without regard to species. Indicate whether
estimated weight is to the nearest pound or to the nearest 0.001 mt.

If required to use a NMFS-approved scale, the operator must record the scale weight of each haul without
regard to species. Indicate whether weight is in pounds or to the nearest 0.001 mt.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The operator of a catcher/processor using trawl gear must record all product information for all retained
groundfish in eLandings (see § 679.5(e)(10)).
