A-SHOP Observer Logbook
Name ___________________________________________________ Badge # _______________
Cruise # ______________ Contractor _______________________________________
This logbook is to be used to record all details of your deployment. Take a few minutes to look at each section
to familiarize yourself with the format. Each section has instructions on what information to include and how
to record it. Please refer to your sampling manual for more detailed instructions, such as documenting a
suspected violation.
In order to meet the expectations of the Observer Program for a successful deployment, the following
required sections of the logbook must be fully completed:
•
Vessel safety checklist for each vessel
•
Documentation of all sampling techniques and changes or difficulties with those techniques
•
All suspected violations
•
Any incidents of vessel interaction with seabirds or marine mammals
•
All total catch calculations
•
An entry in the Daily Notes section for each day of your deployment, including all non-fishing days and
days between vessel assignments
•
Sample station inspection checklist
•
MCP scale daily test for each day the MCP scale is used
Always date your entries so that the chronology of events can be traced in each section.
Your logbook is a valuable document. Please make the effort to maintain it, and keep it in a safe place.
All TEXT entries must be made in ink! Calculations may be made in pencil.
Complete the following information in chronological order for each of the vessels you are assigned to during
this deployment:

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement for the At-Sea Hake Observer Program
Information collected through the observer program is used to: (1) monitor catch and bycatch; (2) understand
the population status and trends of fish stocks and protected species, as well as the interactions between them;
(3) determine the quantity and distribution of net benefits derived from living marine resources; (4) predict
the biological, ecological, and economic impacts of existing management actions and proposed management
options; and (5) ensure that the observer programs can safely and efficiently collect the information required
for the previous four uses. In particular, these biological and economic data collection programs contribute
to legally mandated analyses required under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA), the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), Executive Order 12866 (EO 12866),
and other applicable law.
Most of the information collected by observers is obtained through “direct observation by an employee or
agent of the sponsoring agency or through non-standardized oral communication in connection with such
direct observations”. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) regulations at 5 C.F.R. 1320.3(h)(3), facts
or opinions obtained through such observations and communications are not considered to be “information”
subject to the PRA. The public reporting burden for responding to the questions that observers ask and that are
subject to the PRA is estimated to average 20 minutes per trip, including the time for hearing and understanding
the questions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect
of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to: At-sea Hake Observer
Program, 2725 Montlake Blvd. East, Seattle, WA 98112.
Providing information related to observer and vessel safety is mandatory under regulations at 50 C.F.R.
600.746. However, all other requested information is voluntary. Although you are under no legal obligation to
answer non-safety related observer questions, we would appreciate your support as it ensures observer data can
be used for its intended purpose.
The information collected will be kept confidential as required under Section 402(b) of the MSA (18 U.S.C.
1881a(b)) and regulations at 50 C.F.R. Part 600, Subpart E. Notwithstanding any other provision of the law,
no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.

Safety on Board
Identify the following safety equipment to evaluate if it is appropriate based on your Trip and Weather
Condition observations. We recommend that you not embark on a transport vessel that is not equipped with
the safety equipment that will provide a sufficient inventory to address an emergency.
• PFDs
• Immersion Suits
• Survival Crafts
• Signals (general alarm, radios, distress signals)
• EPIRB/PLB
• Fire Extinguishers
• Throwable Flotation Devices
• First Aid
Additional Safety Procedures
• Safety Orientation: Request a safety orientation from the master of the vessel or crew member.
• Station Bill: If available, familiarize yourself with it and recognize your potential role in an emergency.
• Develop a plan of action for how you will respond to a fire, flood, MOB, or an abandon ship emergency.
• If the vessel is equipped with a survival craft , identify the muster station and where you would board the
craft in an emergency.
• Look for watertight doors and if you see them open while underway, inform a crew member and ask if it
should be closed.
• Look at the general vessel conditions; does the vessel appear to be in a condition appropriate for the trip?
Consider all observations listed above.
• If you are being transported on a commercial fishing vessel, refer to your Safety Checklist and the USCG
Federal Requirements for Commercial Fishing Industry Vessels Pamphlet provided in briefing/training for

MARPOL Reporting
Discharge of all garbage, most importantly all forms of plastic, is prohibited into the navigable waters
of the United States and into all other waters except as specifically allowed below:
• Within 3 nautical miles of land - discharge of all garbage is prohibited.
• 3-12 nautical miles from land - ground food waste that is able to pass through a screen with
openings no larger than 1 inch is permitted.
• 12 or more nautical miles from land - food waste, wash water, cargo residues and cleaning agents
not harmful to the marine environment are permitted.
Form Instructions:
•
Complete a form whenever you observer the dumping of plastics, discharge of oil or other petroleum
product, or dumping of any prohibited materials by the vessel.
•
Be as descriptive as possible. Make sure to record the date, location, and type of violation.
•
Definitions of descriptions of oil or petroleum product discharge:
Sheen - A very thin layer of oil floating on the water surface. Sheen is the most commonly observed
form of oil during the later states of a spill. Depending on the thickness, sheens range in color
from dull brown for the thickest sheens to rainbows, grays, silvers, and near-transparency in the
case of the thinnest sheens.
Sludge - Usually refers to oil that has mixed with other oils or other natural materials that it picks up as
it floats along. Sludge is usually seen with heavier oils and creates a substance that is thick and
gooey (think, sewer sludge).
Emulsion - The formation of a water-in-oil mixture. Different oils exhibit different tendencies to
emulsify, and emulsification is more likely to occur under high energy conditions (strong winds
and waves). An emulsified mixture of water in oil is commonly called a “mousse;” it’s presence
indicates a spill that has been on the water for some time. An emulsion can range in color from
dark brown to nearly red or tan, and typically has a thickened or pudding-like
consistency compared with fresh oil.
Discoloration - Oil that causes a discoloration to the water. Thicker oils in cold weather will tend to stick
together on the water and not create a “sheen” readily. The oil creates a distinct patch on the
water. Also, some heavier oils tend to sink below the surface and become suspended in the
water column, causing dark colored patches under the surface of the water.
•
If the oil spill that you observe does not fit any of these descriptions, then use your own descriptive terms to
define what you see. It is more important to report an accurate description of the spill than to make the spill
fit into one of these four categories.
•
If you need to make more room you may use the back of the form or your logbook pages. Make sure to
reference the page number of the logbook on the form.
•
Copies can be made of the forms.

Vessel Diagram Instructions
Diagrams are useful documentation in every debriefing and many observer statements. They do not have to
look like they were drawn by an architect, but they should include the following basic features. Use different
colors of ink, if its helpful to demonstrate features.
Orientation: Label the sides and ends for your diagram as appropriate to indicate port and starboard,
bow and stern, overhead and deck.
Dimensions: Label each dimension using standard abbreviations (ft, m, cm, etc.).
Features: Label each feature carefully. Draw lines or arrows from each label to the feature it describes,
or write the label on the feature if there is enough room. You can use keys to label repeated features (such as
locations of factory workers) but make them clear and distinct.
Use the Sampling Area Diagram Features Checklist to ensure you include the following features:
•
flow of fish
•
sample collection location
•
incline belts
•
diverter board
•
flow scale and flow scale readout
•
MCP
•
sample table
•
hose location
•
discard / fish meal chutes
It is acceptable to use the vessel’s diagram but all of the above features need to be shown.
If applicable, you should draw diagrams of areas in which you witnessed violations.

Sample Station Inspections and Inspection Reports
Vessels required by regulation to have an observer sampling station or motion compensated platform scale
must have those items certified. Observer sampling stations are certified by Fisheries Analysis and Monitoring
Division (FMA) staff and motion compensated platform scales are certified by NMFS Regional Office staff.
Certification is good for one year from the date the observer sampling station or motion compensated scale
was approved.
Observer Sampling Station Certification Verification
Request an Observer Sampling Station Inspection Report from the vessel. A faxed copy and original
inspection report was sent to each vessel’s home office following certification and the vessel should be able
to obtain a copy. Notify your inseason advisor if the vessel does not have a copy onboard. Document any
discrepancies between the inspection report and your verification on the Observer Sample Station Verification
Checklist.
Before you complete your inspection of the sampling station to verify that all requirements are met (table of
acceptable area and height, adequate work space, etc.), make sure the station is completely set up. Many
vessels store their motion compensated platform scales or disassemble the observer sampling station when
switching between fisheries. If possible, test the platform scale before your vessel embarks to make sure it
passes the daily test (see “Platform Scale Testing” in your NPOP manual). The scale should be turned on at
least 1/2 hour prior to testing so it can warm up. If the scale is not warmed up the display weight may drift.

Use the pages in this section to document flowscale weight, the weight of any items that were too large to go over the flowscale, catcher vessel (CV)
discards reported from the catcher vessel, and mothership (MS) discards calculated from your samples. Use these values to calculate Estimated
Discard Weight and Observer Catch Estimate. Also, calculate the percent of catch delivered for hauls with CV discards. If the percent of catch
delivered is < 100%, you will need to adjust the percent retained for all species from that haul on your decksheets and in ATLAS. If you run out of
room in this section, continue your documentation in the Additional Calculations section of this logbook.

Sample Design Detail Instructions
Sampling design descriptions must be documented! Complete a Sample Design Description form each time
you change vessels or significantly alter your sampling approach. Consider your sampling options based upon
species diversity, storage space, and vessel assistance. Document both typical (low) bycatch and high
bycatch sample designs.
ALL ENTRIES MUST BE MADE IN INK!
For each vessel you must describe:
•
the flow of fish, detailing any biasing factors
•
the population from which you are sampling
•
the sample methods used
•
how samples are selected
•
any factors that impact your ability to sample randomly
Sample Design EXAMPLE:
Vessel Name:
McHakester
How do fish flow from the codend to the point where you collect your sample?
Fish are emptied from codend over the excluder bars into the bins. They flow from the bins up the
incline belt, over the flowscale, onto the sorting belt where I collect my samples, then to the sizesorting bins in the factory.
Species Composition Samples
What is the population of fish from which you are sampling? All fish in the codend; hauls have been clean
30-60 MT hauls.
How are you generating random numbers?
NMFS issued random number table (RNT)
How are you accounting for potential incline belt bias (e.g. live tank doors closed before and after sample)?
For all species comp samples, I have the bleeder close the live tank doors and run out all the fish on
the belts after the doors at the beginning and end of each sample.
What factors affected the collection of your random sample (e.g. sorting, limited access)? For especially dirty
hauls, I am limited by how much bycatch can be stored. The excluder bars are preventing large
organisms from entering the tanks. I watch the bag dump when not sampling and asked the deck
crew to notify me so I can know when a large item has been kept from going into the tanks because
of the excluder bars.
Describe each element of your sample design:
Typical (low bycatch) haul:
How are you randomly selecting your sample(s) from the population? I divide the hail weight in half and
refer to the list of pre-chosen halves we generated using the RNT to determine which half to sample.
What units are you using? I have been using a spatial frame by dividing the estimated haul weight into
2 equal units (typically 15-35 MT), depending on the size of the bag.
69
What is your sampling method? I remove all bycatch from the sorting belt and weigh it on the MCP.
The hauls have been pretty clean, so there is little problem collecting large sample sizes.
Subsampling for two predominant species:
How are you randomly selecting your sample(s) and subsample(s) from the population? I will use a spatial
sample frame by dividing the sample unit into subsample units of equal size. I use the RNT to
randomly select which units will be subsampled.
What units are you using? I will employ the ‘flowscale is my friend’ method using 1 MT units. If the 2nd
predominant species is closer to 50% of the catch, I will use baskets to try to get ~200kg for each
subsample.
What is your sampling method?
I will divide the sample into 3 equal units and randomly choose
a start point in the first unit, sampling systematically throughout the rest of the sample (e.g. haul is
30MT with some dogfish, randomly chose 1st half to sample, broke sample into 3 units of 5MT, used
RNT to pick #3, first subsample at 3MT, second subsample at 8MT, third subsample at 13MT). Size
of subsamples will either be ~200kg or ~1MT (using flowscale), depending on size and prevalence of
second predominant species.
High bycatch haul:
How are you randomly selecting your sample(s) from the population?_I divide the haul into equal-sized
units based on how much I think I can sample at one time. Then I use a random-systematic sample
frame to choose when to sample. Smaller sample sizes are employed for dirtier hauls
What units are you using? I have been using a spatial frame by dividing the haul into equal sized
units. Unit size depends upon how much bycatch is seen. Smaller sample sizes are employed for
dirtier hauls
What is your sampling method?
If species of concern present, I will get help and try to maintain 50%
sample size. If no help given or overwhelmed with bycatch, I will systematically sample throughout
the entire haul (e.g. 40MT haul: sample 2 MT with help, take 8 MT off to work up sample, repeat).
Did you census for species composition? Y
N
Average Weights:
What is your method for collecting hake average weights?
Using the RNT, I randomly select a ton within my sample. When the flowscale hits my randomly
chosen ton, I open the diverter board and run ~50 hake into a tared basket, tossing any bycatch into
my sample baskets. I weigh the basket on the MCP, then count the hake for average weight. When
there are two predominant species, I randomly select one of my subsamples from which to collect
the average weight sample
What is your method for collecting average weights for abundant non-hake species?
After my species comp sample, I use the RNT to randomly select a basket of ~50 fish to count and
weigh for average weight. If the species is very abundant, I collect the next ~50 fish of that species
right after the hake average weight is collected, and set them aside for average weight.
Sex/Length Samples:
For HAKE:
What is the population of fish from which you are sampling? _All the fish in my average weight sample .
70
How are you generating random numbers?
NMFS issued random number table
How are you randomly selecting your sample(s) from the population?
average weight sample.
What is your sampling method?
I use my randomly collected hake
I basket dump to split the average weight sample to about 15 fish.
For NON-HAKE SPECIES:
What is the population of fish from which you are sampling? _All the fish in my sample (bycatch).
How are you randomly selecting your sample(s) from the population?_ When there are only a few
individuals of a species, I take sex/lengths from all of that species in my species comp sample
What is your sampling method? _ I set aside all the individuals of certain species from my species comp
sample to take sex/lengths
Which species?_ Spiny dogfish, bocaccio, darkblotched, POP, canary
If you use more than one method for selecting non-hake sex/lengths, describe them below.
How are you randomly selecting your sample(s) from the population?_When there are more individuals of a
species than is indicated on the priority list, I choose a random basket from my species comp sample
to take sex/lengths
What is your sampling method? As I count and weigh my species comp sample, I set aside separated
baskets of fish on the priority list . Then I choose a random basket take sex/lengths from.
Which species? Spiny dogfish, rougheye, widow, yellowtail
How are you randomly selecting your sample(s) from the population?
When there are a lot of a
particular species in a haul, I choose a random point in the sample and set aside the next ~20
individuals of that species to take sex/lengths from. .
What is your sampling method? I set aside the next ~20 individuals of that species right after my
hake average weight sample.
Which species?
Spiny dogfish, yellowtail
What factors affected the collection of your random sample (e.g. sorting, limited access)? There were a
couple of hauls where crew members got over-enthusiastic about homepacks but after I spoke to the
factory manager, they have been staying out of my sample area until I’m done.
Biopecimen Samples (ages, genetics, etc.):
What is the population of fish from which you are sampling? All the fish in my sex/length samples.
How are you generating random numbers?
NMFS issued random number table
How are you randomly selecting your sample(s) from the population?
placed on my sample table and numbered sequentially.
My frame is spatial - fish are
What is your sampling method? I select the fish corresponding to the random numbers I have chosen
from the RNT.
What factors affected the collection of your random sample (e.g. sorting, limited access)? This method is
working great, with no problems to date.

Daily Notes
Use the following pages to record the day to day events that occur throughout your deployment. Your entries
should start on the day you are first deployed and end after you leave your assignment to debrief.
The importance of documentation cannot be stressed enough. Recording each incident is preferable to trying
to reconstruct events from memory months later. Making timely entries enhances the overall quality of your
data and will greatly ease your debriefing process by making your cruise self-explanatory.
All daily notes entries must be made in ink!
At the start of your deployment:
•
Record embark date, time, and location.
•
List key crew members (captain, factory manager, deck boss, etc.). Tip: Ask for a crew roster.
•
Record information regarding the safety orientation and drills.
•
Document plans regarding working with your observer partner (safety plan, shifts, data entry/checking, etc.)
Daily entries should be made at least once per day and include:
•
date for every entry and times, if you make more than one entry per day
•
information regarding your sampling efforts and data collection - include haul numbers and any problems
you may have encountered
•
specific notes on problems that occur while you are aboard the vessel
•
any illnesses or injuries you suffer
•
details regarding your safety orientation(s) and all safety drills
•
sampling methods you choose for catch estimation, species composition sampling, length and specimen
collections, halibut viability/injury assessments, as well as any other data collections completed
•
non-fishing days and unassigned days, including days in town between fishing trips
•
details regarding potential violations
At the end of your deployment:
•
Record disembark date, time, and location.
Additional sampling information that should be included for each deployment:
•
Detailed explanation on any missed hauls
•
Detailed explanation of changes to your sampling (e.g. ran out of space to store bycatch)
•
All sample designs attempted and all changes to a design
91
Enforcement issues / any type of potential violation
Your daily notes entries should also be used to record the circumstances surrounding any potential violations
you witness including:
•
interference with your duties
•
harassment
•
marine casualties
•
mishandling of prohibited species
•
harassing or harming marine mammals or seabirds
•
MARPOL (marine pollution) concerns
These pages should be used to document any problems you encounter and the actions taken by you or vessel
personnel. Document crew member’s names, their position or title, dates, locations, and the details of the
incident or conversation. Remember to include “who, what, when, where, and why.”
If an event seems significant only in hindsight, record the details on the day on which you document it. Include
the current date and the date of the event. For example, “May 19, 2021 - Three days ago, on May 16th at
about 3:00 pm, I was on the bridge when...”
Document all marine casualties. Marine casualties are: Fire, Flooding, Man Overboard, Grounding,
Loss of Power, Loss of Steering, Crew Injury Beyond Regular First Aid, Lack of Safety Drills,
Refrigerant Leaks.
Include the following with each entry:
92
•
Vessel location, date, and time
•
Captain’s name
•
Where did the incident occur
•
Cause of the event
•
Injuries
•
Action taken by the vessel
•
Crew involved
•
Was a MAYDAY issued?
•
Did the general alarm sound?
•
Vessels involved
•

Daily Notes Examples:
Beginning of deployment:
Vessel Name
McHakester
5/17/21 - Boarded the vessel at 2140. I’ll be acting as lead observer with Julia Pescada as
second. Crew threw lines and began steaming to grounds at 2315. Prior to leaving the dock,
I completed my vessel safety checklist and participated in a safety drill for abandon ship
(including donning my immersion suit). All looks good safety equipment wise. I checked the
ATLAS system on the observer computer and sent a message to my inseason advisor. Got
full crew roster from purser Dan deMan to help with daily notes.
5/18/21 - Still enroute to fishing grounds. Asked captain Mike McFisher if I could put one
of the boat’s immersion suits under the stairs that exit from the factory to the deck, since
that’s the way I’ll exit from sampling if there is an emergency. He agreed and had the
purser get a suit for me from the bow locker. Julia and I checked it over to make sure the
seams were all good and waxed the zipper before stashing it under the stairs.
5/19/21 - Brought up the first net (haul 1) just before midnight on 5/18. A large salmon
shark was in it, too large to go into the live tank. I measured the fork and natural length
and decided to try to cut it up to weigh on the MCP. Worked pretty well with a deckhand
helping. I recorded it on my decksheet as a presorted sample with a count of 1 and the
weights from all the pieces. In the wheelhouse, I summed the pieces to get a total weight
for the shark and added that to the final flowscale weight to get my observer estimate and
to the discard weight. I didn’t see any other sharks in the haul. I sampled hauls 2, 3 (hake
otolith haul) and 4, and details on my sample design are on page 74.
5/20/21 - Rough weather today. The crew tested the flowscale 3 times before it passed.
Factory manager Jack Mackerel said the rough weather messed with the scale calibration.
I sent an ATLAS message to let my inseason advisor know that the scale had to be re-tested
twice.
Mid-deployment example 1:
6/1/21 - Received my mid-cruise questions this morning and sent answers off after I entered
my data for the day.
6/2/21 - Went through otoliths we’ve collected thus far to make sure they’re all correctly
labeled with species and haul and bundled groups of hauls together in each species bag.
93
Mid-deployment example 2:
6/3/21 - All is pretty routine. Sampled hauls 91, 92, and 93. Got a yelloweye rockfish in
haul 293 so I collected the whole specimen for training.
6/4/21 -Sampled hauls 96, 97, and 98. Seeing quite a bit of dogfish so I’ve been using large
(1MT) subsamples, taken systematically throughout my sample. The bin operator Jorge
Eglesias is pretty helpful about stopping the belts and helping lift baskets when I need it.
6/5/21 - When I went to my sampling station, I discovered someone had taken my clipboard
with my Deck Forms and pencil out of my basket. I had to look around for it for awhile and
it delayed my sampling start time by 20 minutes! It turns out one of the crew, Tom Foolery,
was playing a joke on me. I talked to the captain about it and he assured me he would
emphasize to the crew that they can’t touch my sampling equipment. I will discuss this with
my debriefer to see if I need to write a statement about this.
End of deployment:
6/12/21 - Steaming into port and I will be disembarking to go debrief. Let my contractor
know that we are done and expected to hit the dock tomorrow afternoon. Used the
Disembark Chekcklist to make sure we don’t forget anything before we disembark. Julia and
I checked our data one last time before archiving it. Sent a text message to A-SHOP to let
them know we were done and would be at NMFS tomorrow afternoon to drop off specimens
and data. Used the boat’s pressure washer to wash my sampling gear so hopefully won’t
have to do too much cleaning back in the lab. I put a big note to myself on the door so that I
remember to grab the fish and specimens from the freezer.
6/13/21 - Disembarked! Gonna grab an Uber to NMFS to drop off frozen fish and turn in
data.
