Timely and accurate accounting of
salmon catch data for a regulatory area subject to quota management
is necessary for quota assessment. Requirements to land salmon
within specific time frames and in specific areas may be
implemented to aid in the catch monitoring process. If unsafe
weather conditions or mechanical problems prevent compliance with
landing requirements, salmon fishermen are exempt, provided the
appropriate notification is made as specified annually in the
preseason regulations.
