* » Abstract |
Data is collected by observers on deck sheets and other types of paper forms and then the data is keyed into the ATLAS observer software. Currently the ATLAS software consists of 3 parts: Oracle XE database, Oracle Apex, Oracle Rest Data Services (ORDS) The FMA database consists of various data collected by fishery biologists while deployed on board commercial fishing vessels or at shoreside processing plants participating in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska groundfish fisheries. Data collection activities began in 1973 and they continue to date. While deployed at their assignments, observers collect data on the catch size, fishing locations, catch composition, length frequencies, age structures, marine mammal interactions, and a variety of research projects. |
* Purpose |
Enable the electronic entry, archival, and transmission of Observer data for at sea fishing operations, and shore based processing plants. |

• Supplemental Information |
All of these data are collected cooperatively from private commercial fishing interests and are protected from general release by confidentiality statutes. This protects the private business interests of industry while still providing NOAA Fisheries with the detailed information necessary to effectively manage the ecosystem. The staff authorized to use these data include NOAA Fisheries' scientists and managers participating in a broad range of activities including: stock assessments, marine mammal interactions, food habits, fish age analyses, economic analyses, fishery management plan development, in-season fishery management. The data are also shared with other authorized users in the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and North Pacific Fishery Management Council staff with similar responsibilities. |

Maintenance Note |
When software needs to be updated, this is done once per year. The reason it is not updated more often is the software updates require a person to do the actual updates and there are hundreds of computer to update which requires a lot of staff time. |

Accuracy |
There are multiple layers of error checking. Initial values include database check constraints. Once transmitted extensive automated error checking occurs and near real time data confirmation and/or corrections are communicated to the observers. |
