information
tableDigital
This data set contains quantities and values for all seafood products that are reported landed in St. Thomas, St. Croix or St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. These data are reported by fishermen that are licensed by the Territorial Government and are required to complete and submit fishing logs for each trip. There have been several major changes in the reporting forms throughout the program history which affect the data. These are documented separately. These are raw data are not corrected for non-compliance with the reporting regulations unless otherwise specified. For the purpose of these metadata, the word 'confidential' generally refers to sensitive data.
These data provide the quantities and value of the marine commercial fishing industries sector in the U.S. Virgin Islands for inclusion in the nation's gross national product. This time series, which begins in 1974, also provides the best basis for estimates of total landings for the commercial fisheries for the three islands. These landings estimates are included in peer reviewed stock assessments which determine the population status of various key species. Finally, recent on-line entry of landings data is providing a more timely means of monitoring the catch so that allowable catch levels are not exceeded.

Little detail is available for fin fish species prior to 1996 as landings were identified more by gear (Pot fish, Hook fish, etc.) Lobster (spiny lobster) is generically available for all years. Conch and whelk are specifically available for all but the 70's to early 80's. After 1996 fish are generically available for most of catch (snappers, groupers, grunts, tunas, etc...). Several years (1996-1999) contain a mix of the 2 reporting types (old gear based and new species oriented).

These landings are trip based, but also include some summary data, especially in earlier years.

These are reported landings. Expanded landings which include estimates for unreported data will also be available in the near future.

Access Constraints: To access confidential (sensitive) data a completed non-disclosure agreement must be on file with NOAA-SEFSC. Otherwise Data that are submitted as confidential can be released to the public under the following circumstances:
1. Combined or aggregated data. Confidential (sensitive) data can be released if the data are aggregated or summarized in a manner that prevents the identification of the person or organization that submitted the data. The "rule of three" and identification of majority allocations" are the primary data suppression methods.
2. Obscure (scramble) or remove the data identifier. For some types of data, confidential data Can be released as non-confidential if the identity of the person, vessel, company, etc. that submitted the data is not included or is scrambled as part of the data that are released.
3. Submitter. Confidential (sensitive) data collected under federal authority Can be released to the original entity (person, vessel, business, etc.) that submitted the data.
4. Confidential (sensitive) data waived. The protection of confidential data can be waived by the person or business that submitted the data.

Commercial Landings from the USVI.
1974-07-01
These data reside primarily in the ALS schema of the SECPR database at the SEFSC. The table ALS.ALS_LANDINGS_USVI contains the data in compatible format with the rest of the ALS commercial landings data set for the SE Region of the U.S. The table ALS.USVI_SPECIES_GROUP_FORMS_ALL contains the data for the species group type forms in the basic format received from the USVI. Use of these forms began in July 1995, coexisting with previous gear-based reporting forms until July of 1999 when all the reporting was done using the newer forms. This table has some information (such as discards and reports of non-activity) not included in the ALS table. The previous gear-based data, while reformatted to the ALS.ALS_LANDINGS_USVI table, is still on PC (see point of contact) in its basic format. Note that the ALS data only contain data from trips where landings occurred and do not include reports of non-activity or trips having no landings. As of July 2011, USVI commercial landings are being entered on-line to the Caribbean Commercial Landings data set in the CCL schema of the SECPR database. Reporting forms have changed throughout the history of the program and are listed separately.

Representativeness
Data provided by industry - fishers - Canvass of landings of all species in SE US and US Caribbean, State or Federally Managed . These are raw data. Data quality parameters vary by individual species and are determined during Stock Assessment. They may be found in the Stock Assessment Reports.
Completeness Report
Compliance report available in Caribbean Commercial Landings web-based data entry application.
Data are reported by permitted commercial fishers on logbook forms to the USVI Dept. of Fisheries and Wildlife. Forms are then processed for data entry by USVI-DFW. Data are entered by USVI DFW into Caribbean Commercial Landings web based application. Data are checked by look-up tables on entry and by SEFSC for high/low pounds and prices along with reporting compliance and made available to USVI-DFW by SEFSC.
