Southeast Region Headboat Survey-Landings Estimates

A correction factor is calculated by month and vessel to adjust for misreporting as described above. These correction factors are applied to the reported landings by species-vessel-month combinations to generate total estimated numbers of fish landed. These numbers are then multiplied by mean weights of fish calculated from the bioprofile data by species-area-month combinations to generate a total weight of fish landed for each species-vessel-month combination. Landings estimates are provided by species, area and month.

To estimate catch and releases of fish caught by headboat vessels for use in ACLs, stock assessments, etc
