    The buying_station_name element contains the operation name if the operation that submitted the report is a buying station operation, and can be so identified from the permit numbers and processor codes on the landing report. In some cases the operation cannot be determined, so this element may not be present even if the originating operation was a buying station. If the originating operation was not a buying station this element will be omitted.
26. Agency_header_data
    The agency_header_data element is used internally by the eLandings system. It will not be seen in export files.

        5. Fishery_area
           The fishery_area element is used by the eLandings system when allocating line items to permits. The fishery area elements specifies the area or fishery where the permit has quota, and is used to allocate itemized catch from that area or fishery to the permit. This element is typically used in conjunction with the pounds element to "max out" a permit.
        6. Pounds
           The pounds element is used by the eLandings system when allocating line items to permits. The pounds element specifies an amount of IFQ quota pounds to allocate to that permit. This is typically used to "max out" a permit that is close to the end of its quota.

       The effort element will be present for IFQ crab. It is the number of pot lifts in the associated statistical area. For groundfish, this element is omitted.
    5. Count
       The count element is not used on landing reports, and will always be omitted.
29. Dual_permit
    The dual_permit element is a boolean flag that when true indicates that two or more CFEC permit holders were present on the vessel when the fishing occurred. This flag is typically used for Salmon. This flag may not be applicable in all fisheries and is subject to regulation. The presence of multiple permits on the fish ticket increases fishing limits. When dual permit is used, only one CFEC permit is recorded on the fish ticket.
30. Tender_trip_number
    The tender trip number is an optional element. This element was added for use in the Tender Trip Management page in the eLandings web site. The Tender Trip Management page was created to allow processors to manage salmon landings delivered by tender and summaries these landings within an Excel workbook. Processors can use the Tender Trip Management web page to assign a tender trip number to a list of landing reports. The Tender Trip Management page allows processors to export all the landings of a given tender trip number to a worksheet in an Excel workbook. In this way many trips can be appended to a workbook as individual worksheets. The tender trip number and the Tender Trip Management web page together serve as a stopgap measure for processors who managing their fish tickets in excel workbooks, or are moving from Excel to a more full featured third-party management toolset.
31. Total_tare
    The fishing period element is an optional field. This element is used in Bristol Bay Salmon fisheries with mixed salmon landings. Due to the rapid execution of these fisheries, in some cases Bristol Bay area managers allow processors to report initial fish tickets containing unsorted or mixed salmon. As a result these tickets have a single line item and single grading and pricing item of mixed salmon.
    Tare weight is the weight of the container holding the item during the weighing process. In weighing fish, we would subtract the tare weight from the total weight to get the actual weight of the fish.
    It is not uncommon for vessels in Bristol Bay to use a standard bags, brailer, or tote to while weighing the fish.  As a result the tare weight of the bag, brailer or tote can easily be calculated ahead of time and reused for all fish weightings.
     Some tenders find it faster to weight all of the fish to get a total weight including tare. The tenders count the number of uniform totes and multiply this by the know weight of a these standard totes to get the total tare. The tender can then subtract the ¿total tare¿ from the ¿total weight including tare¿ to arrive at the ¿total weight of the fish¿.
    The total_tare field in the landing report xml is used as a place holder value in the tLandings system. Upon submission to the eLandings database, tLandings Processor Tender Interface (PTI) runs the calculation to calculate the ¿total weight of the fish¿ on the ticket and discards the ¿total_tare¿ value. Once the total_tare has been applied it is not reversible to its original state. Total_tare is not stored in the eLandings database.
32. Fishing_period
    The fishing period element is an optional field. This element is primarily used in Salmon fisheries.
    A fishing period is a two digit number used by some ADFG fisheries area managers to identify a commercial fishery opener. Harvest may or may not have occurred during the opener, dependent upon weather and processor/buyer availability.
    In some fisheries, such as herring, there may be multiple periods within a day.  Periods are sequential and increase incrementally through the last opening of the season, but harvest records may not be associated with some openers.  The first annual opening of the season begins with # 01.
33. Out_of_state
    The out of state element is a Boolean flag used for internal use only. It is provided to the International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) at their request. The IPHC uses this field to indicate that the IPCH data entered the landing report data in outside the state of Alaska. All other users should ignore this field.
34. Tender_batch
    The tender batch element is optional and can hold a six character alpha-numeric value. This element is primarily used in Salmon fisheries. Processors using the tLandings Processor Tender Interface (PTI) and insert (or submit) a list or batch of salmon fish tickets, delivered by a tender, to the eLandings database. At the time of insertion (or submission), the processor user can create an arbitrary name to be associated with all of the landing reports included in this insertion. Later, the user can query the eLandings database for tickets based on the user defined tender batch number to make further mass edits. Specifically, processors use this field to prepare a list of tickets to apply mixed salmon updates to.
35. Tally_invoice
    The tally invoice element is optional and can hold a six character alpha-numeric value. This element is primarily used in Salmon fisheries. Processors may request that tenders data enter the pre-printed tally invoice number assigned to tally sheets and dock slips which was used by the tender to record the landing weights. This element was provided at the request of processors to help processors audit landings by connecting the paper tally sheet on deck or at the dock to an electronic ticket.
36. Floating
    The floating element is an optional Boolean flag that when true indicates that fish were floating freely in the haul. Fish can be crushed, bruised or improperly refrigerated when they are packed so tightly into the hold that they cannot float freely. This element was provided at the request of processors to help them track fish quality.This element is primarily used in Salmon fisheries.
37. Slide
    The slide element is an optional Boolean flag that when true indicates that a fish slide was used to load fish into the hold. A fish slide is used to protect fish meat from bruising. This element was provided at the request of processors to help them track fish quality. This element is primarily used in Salmon fisheries.
