Vessel (at-sea) production reports are mandatory reports submitted by catcher/processors and motherships that are issued a Federal Fishing Permit. These reports document groundfish production in post-processed product weight by species, gear type, area fished, and product type. Initially reported weekly, at-sea production reports transitioned to daily reports in 2009. The weight of each species of fish is reported by product code (e.g., fillets, minced fish, surimi, etc.). The product weight is converted to a pre-processed (round) weight of fish by expanding the product weight using product recovery rates (PRR). Standardized PRRs are published in Federal regulations for product types and species combinations (50 CFR 679 Table 3).
