The operator of any groundfish catcher/processor or mothership must use a combination of NMFS-approved catcher/processor eLog or mothership eLog and seaLandings or eLandings to record and report groundfish and Prohibited Species Catch (PSC) information. seaLandings is a fishery harvest reporting software program that functions without constant Internet connectivity and is installed on computer workstations. This interface targets at-sea vessels that use a satellite phone for email transmission. seaLandings eLog may be sent via direct transmission. The zipped report file is attached to an email that is sent to the email server, [email protected]. eLandings is the web-based version of the fishery harvest reporting program and requires consistent Internet connectivity on the vessel workstation computer.


In addition, catcher/processors and motherships required to weigh catch on a NMFS-approved scale must use a NMFS-approved eLog to daily record and report the results and timing of daily scale tests to NMFS. This allows NMFS staff to continuously monitor daily scale tests by vessels when they are at sea and to work with vessel crew to ensure that any bias in daily scale tests is discovered and corrected quickly. Allowing NMFS to identify potential scale problems during, rather than after, a fishing year will result in more effective analysis of overall trends in scale testing.


The operator must first manually enter the daily flow scale test information onto the paper Record of Daily Scale Tests form (see http://www.alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/scales/dailytest_fl.pdf). Then enter the following information from all scale tests, including failed tests, into the eLog within 24 hours of the testing. The daily test entry screen is shown below.




All users of the seaLandings or eLandings software application must Register their Operation in eLandings (see https://elandings.alaska.gov/) prior to use of the eLog program to identify who is reporting and what type of operation they are running.
