Instructions for Completing Daily Catch Records
Completing catch records (CR) is a tedious and time consuming. It’s also required by law in
Amendment 4 of the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council’s Snapper Grouper Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) and the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish FMP. These numbers and weights,
combined with information collected from other sources, provide the best available “picture”
of the health of the stocks of fish you depend upon for your business to remain successful.
Providing an accurate record for every trip you make saves you money (the salary of one research technician at sea). Instead, National Marine Fishery Service (NMFS) dollars can be spent
on other research to add to the numbers you provide. Fair and effective fishery regulations begin
with accurate and timely CR’s provided by you. The staff of the NMFS Headboat Survey
appreciates your efforts to provide us with accurate catch and effort information. By law this
information is confidential and cannot be distributed in a form that can be traced to your vessel.
Filling out a CR is not difficult. Most entries are self evident. The following is a brief explanation of what information to provide in each blank. Extra information makes the CR more time
consuming to complete and may confuse the port agents.
Lines 1-4: Each line should be complete. The trip type table below will help you decide which
line to fill out. “Number of Anglers” must be completed; without this number the CR is useless.
TRIP TYPES
Please calculate the hours for all trips from when you leave the dock until you return to the dock.
Full Day
10 -12 hours
Overnight
12 hours
3/4 Day
7 - 9 hours
1/2 Day

FISH SPECIES Section: Record only one number and one weight in whole pounds for each type
of fish kept. Please do not write in “lbs” or “#”. Spaces have been provided at the bottom of the
form for species not already listed .
Signature: This helps the port agent if he or she must ask any follow-up questions about a
particular entry.
