the same fish should be recorded with the
appropriate product code preceded by the
letter "A" (EXAMPLE: A32 is meal from a
fish whose main product has already been
recorded.) If the fish is to be set aside for
fookbank donation, a "D" should also be
used.

PLEASE READ: The Daily Fishing Logbook has been prepared by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in conjunction with
the Pacific Fishery Management Council. This log is for use by operators of catcher/processor vessels, or of catcher vessels that
deliver to mothership vessels. All catcher vessels must have a valid Federal groundfish permit (with the appropriate gear
endorsement) to harvest groundfish off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California (WOC). Maintenance and submission of
these logs currently are voluntary. The information may be used to confirm, and occasionally supplement, observer data, and may be
used for other analyses. These logs will be required in the future; your comments and suggestions are encouraged. Logbook
information will remain confidential, although NMFS may release aggregated logbook data that do not identify individual vessels.

Submit copies of logbooks to:
National Marine Fisheries Service
Northwest Region - F/NWR2
Fisheries Management Division
7600 Sand Point Way N.E.
Seattle, WA 98115

Phone: 206-526-6140
Fax: 206-526-6736

LOGBOOK MAINTENANCE
1. The operator of a catcher or catcher/processor vessel must retain the original copy of this logbook on board the vessel until the end of the
fishing year and for as long after the end of the fishing year as fish or fish products recorded in the logbook are retained on board that vessel. At
the end of the fishing year, after all fish and fish products recorded in the logbook are offloaded, the logbook must be sent to NMFS at the
address above.
2. No person may remove any original page of the logbook. Information recorded in the logbook must be made in indelible ink. No person may
alter or change any entry in the logbook except that an inaccurate or incorrect entry may be corrected by single-lining out the original and inserting
the correction, provided that the original entry or record remains legible.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DAILY FISHING LOGBOOK (DFL) *
The Daily Fishing Logbook (DFL) is required from all permitted vessels that process their own catch. Catcher vessels that deliver to a permitted
processing vessel also are required to prepare the DFL.
Entries in the DFL as to haul or set number, date, time, position, and estimated catch weight must be recorded within two hours after the
completion of the applicable haul or set. All other information required in the DFL must be recorded by noon of the following day. Notwithstanding
other time limits, all required information must be recorded prior to the time when the vessel's catch is off-loaded.
The operator of a catcher vessel or a catcher/processor vessel must submit the completed DFL within 14 days after the vessel checks out of the
fishery, or quarterly if the vessel does not check out of the fishery during the quarter to the Northwest Region of NMFS. The copy of the logbook for
fishing and processing activities conducted during the first quarter of the year must be submitted by March 31, for the second quarter by June 30,
for the third quarter by September 30, and for the fourth quarter by December 31 of the current year.
The DFL must record the following information on a daily basis:
1. The page number. This number must be consecutive beginning with page one for the first day the vessel conducted any fishing operation after
the start of the fishing year in the WOC and continuing throughout the logbook for the remainder of the fishing year. A separate page in the
logbook must be used for each day's fishing activity. If fishing activity is conducted with more than one gear type, or in more than one reporting
area, or for more than one target species during any day, a separate page in the logbook must be used for each gear type, reporting area, or target
species.
2. The date (year-month-day).
3. The vessel's full name.
4. The Federal permit number assigned for WOC groundfish fishery for the current year.
5. The three digit Federal WOC reporting area where the vessel is conducting fishing activity.
6. The gear type used by the vessel. See the list of codes at the end of this section.
7. The last name and first initial of the NMFS observer(s) on board or "none" if fishing without observer coverage.
8. The total number of the crew engaged for fishing and/or processing.
9. The signature of the operator of the vessel.
10. If the target species is not Pacific whiting, write the target species name next to the title at the top of the page.

I. Effort Log
The following information must be recorded for each haul or set, as appropriate to the gear type employed:
11. The haul or set number. This number must be consecutive beginning with number one for the first haul or set for the first day the vessel conducted
any fishing operation after the start of the fishing year in the WOC and continuing throughout the logbook for the remainder of the fishing year.
12. The beginning time (24 hour clock, local time) of the haul or set, when the haul or set reaches fishing depth.
13. The beginning position in geographic coordinates of the vessel must be when the haul or set is at fishing depth.
14. The sea depth and trawl depth (in fathoms) at the beginning of the haul or set.
15. The ending time (24 hour clock, local time) of the haul or set when the winches begin to retrieve the haul or set.

2

16. The ending position of the vessel in geographic coordinates when the winches begin to retrieve the haul or set.
17. The total time of fishing is the duration of the trawl or set in whole minutes.
18. The estimated total weight of the catch for the haul or set in round weight to the nearest tenth of a metric ton (0.1 mt).
19. Processor name. If for a catcher vessel's logbook, then enter the full name of the processing vessel receiving the catch. Otherwise, leave blank.
II. Catch Log
20. The species code must be the appropriate three digit WOC Federal species code. See the list of codes at the end of this section.
21. The discarded and retained weights are the total round weights of the catch to the nearest hundredth of a metric ton (0.01 mt) for that gear type,
area, and day for each groundfish species or species group. If there are no discard amounts, enter zero (0).
22. Prohibited species. These species include all salmon, Pacific halibut and Dungeness crab off WOC. The whole number of individuals must be
recorded for that area, gear type, and day. If no prohibited species are caught, enter zero (0).
23. The balance forward information must be the previous cumulative total catch weight for that gear type, week, and area. On the first day of the
fishing week, the balance forward must be zero.
24. The cumulative total is calculated separately for each fishing week, so that on the first day of the fishing week, the balance forward is zero (0) and
the cumulative total is the same as the daily total. Within the week, the cumulative total must be the sum of the current day's amount (of discarded or
retained weight for groundfish and numbers for prohibited species) added to the balance forward from the previous day for that gear type, and area.
* Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, no shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information
subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. Public reporting burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average approximately 13 minutes per response for catchers and 20 minutes for catcher-processors, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the National Marine Fisheries Service - Northwest Region, Fisheries Management Division, 7600
Sand Point Way NE, Seattle WA 98115. OMB Number: 0648-0271. Expiration Date: 10/31/09. This data collection will be mandatory upon implementation of a final rule under 50 CFR
660, subpart G, and is confidential under Section 402(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
