Lineage | The NMFS Survey of Fishery Processors is the only comprehensive, national survey that focuses on the domestic seafood processing industry. In all regions except the Northeast, the survey is voluntary. In the Northeast it is mandatory for processors with a federal processing permit to provide the requested data. The survey instrument is a paper form that asks for monthly employment figures, a list of product types and the volume and value of each product processed in the previous year. Space is provided for the company to fill in new products. The survey forms are produced by NOAA Fisheries Office of Science and Technology and mailed to five different regional contacts. Each region then proceeds slightly differently: ⢠Northeast â The distribution of forms to companies is overseen by a lead port agent. Other port agents may assist with collecting information from the companies in their area. Dealer permits are not renewed if the processor has not provided the required data. ⢠Southeast and Gulf â Forms are distributed through the Southeast Fishery Science Center to the port agents along the coast who are then responsible for obtaining the data from the companies. ⢠Southwest and Northwest â Forms are distributed through, and returned to, the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission office under an agreement with NMFS. ⢠Pacific Islands â Forms are distributed and collected by Pacific Islands Regional Office staff. The companies in the survey are those that have reported previously or have been found by research or word-of-mouth. Adding companies in order to have a more complete data frame is a constant goal throughout the year. Forms are returned to the Office of Science and Technology for data entry. Follow up contact may be attempted to clarify data that is excluded or unclear. Because the survey is voluntary, we do not receive data from every company we contact. We employ various estimation and alternate data collection methods: ⢠Most Alaska data is obtained from the Alaska Fisheries Information Network (AKFIN). ⢠Data on salmon processing come from the Alaska Department of Revenue. ⢠USDA reports provide data on catfish and rainbow trout processing. ⢠Data from the NOAA Seafood Inspection Program are used to estimate the data for companies that have not reported to the Survey of Fishery Processors but are included in the inspection program ⢠Finally, imputation is used to estimate the remaining missing companies. |
