  • The eLandings System meets all landing report requirements for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
  • When a landing report is submitted in the eLandings System, the application returns a printable PDF file of the ADF&G fish ticket(s) and an IFQ receipt(s) for both the fisher and processor's records.
  • Fish tickets need to be finalized electronically within seven days of landing. A signed copy of the ADF&G fish ticket(s) must be submitted to the local office of ADF&G, in the same manner as  paper fish tickets.


Login to eLandings

To create a landing report, you will need to login to the eLandings web interface which can be found here: https://elandings.alaska.gov/elandings/Login.

...

  • From this location you can create a new salmon troll landing report.
  • Individual users can be associated with one or more Operations
    • For example, a business manager might be associated with three Operations - Big Fish Inc, WAI Processing, and the stationary floating processor, The Happy Lady. Each of these operations is unique, and the user is an authorized for each operation. 
    • When the user logs into the eLandings system, he/she must designate the Operation that will be used to record landing information. 
      • While most users are associated with only one Operation, if your business buys and processes, and/or performs custom processing for another Operation, there will be more than one listed under your User Account. 
    • Once the Operation has been chosen, you can click on the Landing Report button to open the form.

Salmon Troll Landing Report, Vessel, Permit, and Location Information Page

The landing report is divided into several web pages that you will move through in sequential order:

  1. Vessel, Permit, and Location Information
  2. Itemized Catch 
  3. Grading & Pricing


Landing Report - Vessel, Permit, and Location Information

  • This is the first screen that is displayed when creating a new landing report. Note that some of the required information about your operation is auto-filled based on your processor user account.
    • The eLandings System auto-fills your Port of Landing, and ADF&G Processor Code.

...

  • You should note that a unique Landing Report number is generated each time you initiate a landing report. In the above picture it is Landing Report number 18366354. 

Vessel Information

  • ADF&G Vessel Number: this is the five digit number permanently assigned by the Commercial Fishery Entry Commission (CFEC).  
  • ADF&G Gear Code: this is the two digit numeric code used to identify the gear used to harvest the catch. These gear codes can be viewed by clicking on the Gear Codes link.   For salmon troll this will be either 15 for Power Troll or 05 for Hand Troll.
  • Date Fishing Began: when the gear was deployed in the water to begin fishing.
  • Date Fishing Ended: when the gear was taken out of the water.
  • Days Fished: when the gear was being fished. This number does not include traveling to and from the fishing grounds, or weather delays.
  • Date of Landing: when the landing was completed.
  • Entered From Paper FT: If you are entering a paper fish ticket into eLandings or a ticket from tLandings that was unable to upload into eLandings, please enter the paper fish ticket number (i.e., E18 123456) so that the two fish tickets can be associated together. For more information please see Entering Paper Fish Tickets into eLandings.
  • Port of Landing: location where the landing occurred. This value is auto-filled from your User Agreement registration. You can modify this value to indicate the correct location for this landing.  You can click on the Port Codes link under the Port of Landing area for a list of port codes.
  • Nearest Bay or Headland: Site description of where fishing actually occurred designated by the nearest bay or headland's name. Example designations are "Icy Point" or "Cape Cross". If you have a question please ask your local area ADF&G office.
  • Partial Delivery: check if, Yes, the vessel has made deliveries to other operations or processors from this fishing trip, in other words, deliveries elsewhere, or if the delivery to your operation is only a portion of the catch. 
    • If you created more than one landing report for a delivery, you should also check the PartialDelivery box, to indicate Yes.
  • ADF&G Processor Code: the owner of the product that has just been purchased - the purchaser. This value is auto-filled from your User Agreement registration. This value is auto-filled from your User Agreement registration. Select the correct number if one than one RCR is associated with your User Agreement.
    • ADF&G Processor Code (Custom Processor): applicable only if the product is being received or processed by a third party - not the purchaser.
  • Chill Type: Refrigeration system used to keep fish cold in the vessel hold. It is generally used in conjunction with Temperature. This is a courtesy field provided to Processors at their request to help track quality of catch. This is not a required field.
  • Temperature (in F): Temperature in degrees fahrenheit. This is a courtesy field provided to Processors at their request to help track quality of catch. This is not a required field.

tLandings Only Worksheet

If you are editing a ticket that has been created using tLandings or entering a paper fish ticket you will need to fill in or ensure the validity of the following fields:

  • Time of Landing: The time fish or shellfish are off-loaded or trans-shipped from the catcher vessel to the first purchaser. The time of landing is the day off-load is completed. For catcher-processors the time landed is the time the product is caught and brought on board. For catcher-seller vessels the land date time is the time the product is initially brought into port. 
  • Tender ADF&G vessel number: The ADF&G vessel number assigned to an acting tender vessel. A tender is a vessel that is attendant to other vessels and is used to transport or ferry unprocessed fish or shellfish received from another vessel to a shoreside processor or mothership.  Tender vessels operate, in most circumstances, as an agent for a specific processor and take deliveries from harvesting vessels.
  • Tender Batch: Is the batch number assigned by the processor user when uploading a batch of tickets from tLandings/PTI to eLandings.
  • Tally Invoice: Tally sheet is provided in tLandings and provides a summary of all items recorded in a landing.

CFEC & IFQ Permit Worksheets

  • A CFEC permit is required for all vessel operators and they must be appropriate for their applicable fishery
  • Place the cursor in the CFEC Fishery field and swipe the troll permit card. If a magnetic stripe reader is not used, an imprint of the CFEC permit card is required after the fish ticket is printed.
  • To swipe a permit card, with the CFEC Fishery box active, swipe the permit card. Text will appear in the box that looks like: %BS15B 00129Q^TOM TROLLER ^1801LBARRACUDA ?;00129180100003814326?

...

  • The CFEC permit must be valid for the calendar year and valid for the fishery (species, gear, management area). 

Statistical Area Worksheet

Referred to as the Stat Area Worksheet, this is the area of the Vessel, Permit, and Location Information of the landing report to record the five-digit salmon ADF&G statistical area denoting the actual area of catch.

...

Note
titleStat Area Worksheet Notes
  • This worksheet may be used to document a single statistical area, with 100%, or multiple statistical areas. 
    • The recording of multiple statistical areas in the worksheet requires that the species that are caught and discarded are equally distributed across all statistical areas fished; and all statistical areas fished are open to the species fished.
  • If the criteria are met, enter all of the statistical areas that were fished in the field labeled Stat Area and enter the percentage of the catch taken in the area in the area labeled Percent. 
  • If all of the species recorded on the ticket were from a single statistical area, enter the Stat Area and 100%.
  • If you use the Stat Area Worksheet, there is no need to enter the statistical area code and percent anywhere else on the landing report.
  • If one or more species are not harvested in a manner that is equally distributed across all statistical areas fished, the catch must be recorded in the Add/Edit Itemized Catch section of the eLandings landing report.

  • This activity creates an Initial Report that must be submitted.
