Instructions: This survey is designed to record your annual vessel fishing costs. The survey
consists of five sections. Section A asks questions about your vessel. Please record the annual costs
associated with only the vessel identified in section A. If you own more than one vessel, certain
costs may need to be divided among vessels (for example, divide office expenses by the number of
vessels owned). Record the combined annual cost for all fisheries you may have participated in this
fiscal year. In section B, you are asked to provide cost information associated with improvements,
quota transfer/lease, and repair/maintenance and crew compensation. Section C asks question on
your fishing business related costs. In section D, you are asked to report any other annual costs not
reported in sections B or C. Finally, Section E asks questions on the lay system. This survey does
not have questions about trip costs such as fuel, ice, bait, and supplies. This type of information is
collected by observers at sea.
IMPORTANT: if you do not know the cost of a particular item (but an expense was incurred),
please leave the question blank. If this expense does not apply to your vessel, please check the “not
applicable” box.
