The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) instituted the Wreckfish Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) in 1992. Trip and fixed cost data estimates were collected via mail survey for the first year of the program (1993) by a NOAA contractor, but no further cost data was collected until 2013 (for the 2012 fishing year). The population included all holders of Wreckfish Individual Transferable Quota (five individuals at the time of survey). Because the population is so small, a census was necessary. Per-trip and fixed cost estimates are included. This data set includes survey results merged with individual landings from the wreckfish logbook.
