- ADF&G Vessel Number: this is the five digit number permanently assigned by the Commercial Fishery Entry Commission (CFEC). For motherships, enter the ADF&G number for the catcher vessel that delivers the catch to your mothership.

These gear codes are listed in the appendix of this document and can also be viewed by clicking on the Gear Codes link. For motherships, enter the gear type for the catcher vessel that delivers the catch to your mothership.
- Gear Modifier: State and federal biologists have noted a difference in gear selectivity between hard and slinky pots. Therefore, they have requested that vessels catching groundfish with pot gear document whether they are using traditional “hard” pots or flexible “slinky” pots in eLandings. Collecting this information will assist them in increasing their stock assessment accuracy. The new field appears only on the groundfish landing report and is only for use with pot gear. This field is a drop down menu with two choices: Hard pot or Slinky pot. If the vessel is using a combination of pot types, please document the predominate type. For landings on or after September 23, 2021, a warning message will appear if this information is not reported. Beginning January 1, 2022 this information will be required.
