INSTRUCTIONS FOR

FIRST WHOLESALE VOLUME AND VALUE REPORT

(shown here for information only)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Wholesale Volume and Value reports are used for directed fisheries where fish are harvested exclusively, or almost exclusively, by catcher/processors and where insufficient ex-vessel prices data is available. These species include all groundfish species (except Pacific cod, pollock, and sablefish) allocated to the Amendment 80 and CDQ Programs.

NMFS relies on the information provided in the Wholesale Volume and Value report to estimate the ex-vessel value of those species. The first arm’s length transaction that occurs under these conditions is the first wholesale price or first market price. The Magnuson-Stevens Act mandates that cost recovery fees be based on the ex-vessel value of fish. Given that there is no reliable ex-vessel price generated for some species, that price must be estimated.

Deadline: This report must be submitted electronically to NMFS no later than November 10 of the year in which the landings were made.

The First Wholesale Volume and Value Report is available on the Alaska Region website at http://www.alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/ram.
