    • Highly Migratory Species Electronic Dealer Reporting System

    Metadata Updated: April 5, 2025

    Electronic dealer reporting for highly migratory species (HMS) dealers was instituted to expedite dealer reporting of federally-managed HMS, including swordfish, BAYS (bigeye, albacore, yellowfin and skipjack) tunas, and sharks. All purchases of HMS from a federally permitted dealer are reported electronically and fed to the eDealer database. Data are used for inseason monitoring of HMS quotas, provides collaboration of fishing vessel trips, information for international reporting for The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), and domestic management of HMS.
