At-sea Production Report Data Entry
To be able to enter an At-sea Production report, you must be a registered eLandings user. If you are not please proceed
to the eLandings registration page: eLandings Registration
If you are not already logged into eLandings, log in at https://elandings.alaska.gov. 
Once logged in, you will see the Reports Menu screen. Use the operation dropdown to select the operation/vessel
you with to make a production report for.
After you have selected your vessel using the drop-down screen, click on the Production Report button to start
entering daily production data.

91

Pot

Enter a crew size. Crew size does not include observers, but does include skippers.
Verify the At-Sea Port Code is correct
Enter a three-digit Federal reporting area. If a special area was reported, use the drop-down list next to Special Area
to choose COBLZ, RKCSA, or AISWW. Maps and coordinates of these special areas and reporting areas may be found
at http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/rr/figures.htm.
A management program is required to be selected using the drop-down list. If the vessel was fishing open-access,
please select OA as the Management Program.
Only the CDQ, RPP, and AFA management programs require a Program ID. The management program ID values for
AFA and CDQ ids are:

port (without gear in the water).

Six digit statistical areas are required on daily production reports for catcher processors and motherships. Please
enter the State stat areas that are located in the Federal reporting area where your nets were hauled. Please do not
include any State stat areas that are not located within the Federal reporting areas where your nets were hauled.
Approximately assign percentages to stat areas where the catch occurred.  Stat areas do not need to be reported
when you are submitting a 'No Production' report.  Again, 'No Production' reports only need to be submitted when
your vessel has gear in the water or you are processing fish, not during offload or when steaming to port.

If any production was done, use the Production section of the report to list the species and their ending product
code.
Use the three digit species code, denote if the product was Primary (P) or Ancillary (A), and then the weight in to the
nearest thousandth metric tons for each species.
Lists of species codes, product type codes, and product codes may be found at
http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/rr/tables.htm.
The system will not allow you to enter invalid combinations of product codes and product type codes when you save
the report.
Please make verify your weights are defaulted to accept weights only with three decimal places. This rounding may be
automatically set in the "User Profile" screen as "Number of decimals to display for weights".
If you need more lines to enter additional species, click on the More Lines button at the bottom of the screen to
manually add more rows. You also may add more rows automatically in the "User Profile" section (see previous
section for more details).

After you are finished entering products, please enter all discards.
For each line of discards, please denote the species by three digit species code
Enter a two-digit Discard Disposition code. Discard Disposition codes may not be entered in the product section, and
are only to be used in the discard section.
Weights must be entered to the nearest thousandth, record weight of discards for any non PSC species.

Count must be entered as a whole number. For prohibited species (e.g. salmon, crab, herring), the number of
fish/crab MUST be reported, but weight does not need to be reported.

Saving Your Report
When you are done entering data for your report, click on the Save button at the bottom of the screen.
If you do not wish to save changes, you may click on the Cancel button, which will exit you out of the Production
Report Entry screen. However, any changes made will not be saved if you click on the Cancel button.

You may receive an error message upon saving your report. Error messages are displayed when you try to save
(unsuccessfully) at the top of the Production Report Entry screen.
You will not be able to save or submit a report until all errors have been fixed. The error message will indicate the field
that needs to be corrected. 
Warning messages do not prevent you from saving reports, but are meant to warn users of uncommon entries (such
as entering >400 mt for a single species and product code combination).

After all errors have been corrected, save your report by clicking on the Save button again at the bottom of the
screen.
When the report saves successfully, a message will appear at the top of the Production Report Entry screen that says
'Report saved successfully.'
You will also notice a message appears that reads 'Production Report - Not Submitted.' No error messages will appear
when a report is saved successfully.  Agency staff cannot view production reports with a status of Not Submitted, so if
you call for user support, keep in mind that Not Submitted reports are only visible on your end.
After saving the report, please note that you must submit the report to finalize it and transmit it. Please transmit a
copy of your report by clicking on the Submit Report button at the bottom of your Production Report Display
screen.
NOTE: After you have submitted your report once, you do not need to submit it again if changes are made after
the first submission. If you attempt to submit the report twice, an error message will appear saying you've already
submitted the report. If you make changes to a report after the report has been submitted, please just save the
changes, and the changes automatically will be submitted to the agencies. A second submission is not required!

After you've submitted your report and the status of your report says Final Report Submitted, scroll to the bottom of
the Production Report Display screen and click on the View PDF to Print button. A new browser will open to display
the report. Check your print-out against your data to make sure that you have not made any data-entry errors. 

If you find an error, click on the Edit button at the bottom of the Production Report Display screen to make
corrections.
When finished, please print and save a copy of the PDF file for your records. Federal law mandates that you keep
copies of your reports for 3 years, plus the current year. You only need to save the current year's reports on the vessel.
You may be asked by NMFS staff members to make changes to reports in the future, so please file your reports onsite so you may access them quickly in case revisions need to be made.

MRA Spreadsheet
If your report is the first of a new trip for Maximum Retainable Amount (MRA) calculations, click on the Trip Event dropdown menu. The Trip Event field is a voluntary field that was created to help crews flag when their reports are the first of
a new trip for MRA purposes.

The following Trip Events are available:
Enter SSL Protection Area: A new fishing trip is triggered for any fishing after entering a SSL protection area

closed to directed fishing for Pacific cod or Atka mackerel (see regulations at 679.22(a)(7)
(a)(8)

, (a)(7)(v), (a)(7)(vi),

(a)(8)(iv) and (a)(8)(v)).

area closed to directed fishing for Pacific cod or Atka mackerel (see regulations at 679.22(a)(7)
(a)(7)(vi), (a)(8)

, (a)(7)(v),

(a)(8)(iv) and (a)(8)(v)).

Directed Fishing Closure: A new fishing trip is triggered for any fishing in an area following a change in the

directed fishing status for any species retained aboard the vessel.
Offload Product: A new fishing trip is triggered for any fishing following the offload of fish or fish products.
 Please choose a Trip Event, or leave the Trip Event field blank if your report is not the first of a brand new MRA trip.  After
you've entered all products and discards for that report, please click on the Save button.  Once you review your work and
you are ready to transmit your data, click on the Submit Report button.

Only after you've submitted your report will you be able to view the MRA spreadsheet.  Click on the View MRA
Spreadsheet button at the bottom of your report.

An Excel spreadsheet will download. You will be able to see all product reported for a given week, including days that
comprise different trips.

You'll notice reports are listed as separate columns and the following header information is available: Federal Fisheries
Permit, vessel name, Report Date, Trip Event (the event that triggered a new trip for that particular report), management
program, and management program ID. The data are listed by species code, product code, total round weight for all
species/product code combinations reported that week, and round weight reported for each report ID.
Please note that the total round weight add all weights together, including weights from different MRA trips. The
MRA spreadsheet is not meant to be the final computation of MRAs per trip, but it is meant to provide the crews a
way to tabulate and cut and paste products from the same trip. Further computation by crews is required in order for
MRAs to be calculated on a trip basis.
