Electronic Reporting in Alaska Fisheries

eFISH

Alaska Region's online Fisheries Information System, eFISH, provides registered buyers and fishermen access to their permit accounts to:

• check account and vessel balances and landing ledger reports, quota share holdings reports, and processor quota share holding reports from various fisheries
• report IFQ/CDQ landings
• conduct quota transfers
• renew certain fishery permits
• submit ex-vessel value and volume reports
• pay cost-recovery fees for crab, IFQ, observer and rockfish programs
• report a Guided Angler Fish (GAF) landing and check a GAF permit balance.

Interagency Electronic Reporting System 

The Interagency Electronic Reporting System provides the Alaska fishing industry with a consolidated electronic means of reporting production and landings of commercial fish and shellfish to multiple management agencies. Some of the benefits of the electronic reporting system include:

• improved data quality
• automated processing of data
• improved process for correcting or updating information
• availability of more timely data for fishery managers
• reduction of duplicative reporting of similar information to multiple agencies

eLandings 

Using the eLandings web-based application, processors report production and landings data. Once data are entered and submitted, users receive a printed production report, fish ticket, and/or an IFQ (individual fishing quota) report as a receipt.
