PACIFIC COD EX-VESSEL VOLUME AND VALUE REPORT

(shown here for information only)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Each shoreside processor and mothership that accepts deliveries of unprocessed Pacific cod harvested from the BSAI and that paid an ex-vessel price to the harvesting vessel for delivering unprocessed Pacific cod caught using fixed or trawl gear is required to submit this report electronically to NMFS no later than November 10 of the year in which the landings were made.

NOTE: if no ex-vessel sale occurs (e.g., if the processor accepted fish for special processing),

do not include that sale on this form.

Ex-vessel Volume and Value reports will be used when an ex-vessel price is paid to the harvesting vessel for delivering unprocessed Pacific cod caught using either fixed or trawl gear. Each shoreside processor and mothership that accepts deliveries of unprocessed Pacific cod harvested under an Amendment 80 Cooperative Quota permit is required to submit this report electronically to NMFS no later than November 10 of the year in which the landings were made.

This information would allow NMFS to collect price data on unprocessed Pacific cod from January 1 to October 31 each year. The information submitted would be summarized to estimate an annual standard ex-vessel price for Pacific cod. Annual Pacific cod shorebased and mothership deliveries of fixed gear and trawl gear ex-vessel prices will be used as a proxy for the fixed gear and trawl gear catcher/processor harvests.

The Pacific Cod Ex-vessel and Volume Report is available on the Alaska Region website at http://www.alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/ram.
