IFQ Crab Landings
More information on the Rationalized Crab Program can be found here: https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/sustainablefisheries/crab/crfaq.htm
How do I report rationalized crab landings?
- Registered Crab Receivers are required to report all CR crab fishery landings using the eLandings program.
- For the at-sea fleet, the seaLandings software program can be used to generate crab landings that can be submitted via email or directly through the internet.
I am a Catcher Processor that will participate in the CDQ crab fishery using seaLandings as my reporting method. How often should I be reporting?
...
- Yes, CDQ crab other than Norton Sound king crab, is rationalized crab, and must be reported by Registered Crab Receivers, using the eLandings system.
- For reporting CDQ crab, you will need to enter the CFEC CDQ permit, identify the management program, and the specific identification number issued to the CDQ group.
- You should not enter any information in the IFQ Permit Worksheet including: NMFS ID, IFQ Permit, Species, IPQ Permit, or use the Lbs. to max-out permit.
Screen shot from the eLandings Report page:
The eLandings system for the Rationalized Crab fishery requires price for sold product. Why is price required? Can I record the interim price paid to QS holders? If the price is adjusted up or down, how do I record this post-season adjustment?
- Price data are required so that we can estimate the fishery value and the appropriate amount of cost recovery fees required by the Magnuson-Stevens Act (due by July 31 following each crab fishing year).
- If you do not know your final prices at the time of landing, you can provide interim prices. There is no regulatory requirement to later update your prices in eLandings, but you may wish to do so in order to ensure that Cost Recovery fee statements more accurately reflect total crab value and for your own records.
- Regardless of the prices reported and the dollar amount on RAM's fee statement, by regulation you must pay a percent of the total value (money, goods, and services) paid for the crab.
...
- No, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game manages this fishery and does not require or desire documentation of discarded at-sea undersized or female crab.
- All other species, crab and non-crab, that are retained and sold, retained for personal use, or retained for bait must be documented on the eLandings Landing Report.
I am a Catcher Processor. I do not know the price per pound that I will receive. What price do I record in the eLandings system?
...
- In eLandings, an entire offload should be recorded as a single landing report.
- CDQ fishing requires a special CFEC Permit as does IFQ.
- In other words, you will need to have two CFEC Permits to record both IFQ and CDQ harvests.
- For the IFQ portion of the report, enter all IFQ information and permits, including NMFS ID, IFQ and IPQ permit numbers, and species associated with that IFQ permit.
- For the CDQ portion, enter the CFEC permit, the CDQ management program and ID number, only.
- For a CDQ landing, you should not enter any information in the IFQ Permit Worksheet, including: NMFS ID, IFQ Permit, Species, IPQ Permit, or use the Lbs. to max-out permit.

How can I max-out pounds when the IFQ quota is for more than one IPHC regulatory area?
- You can only use the max-out pounds feature for multiple IFQ permits with quota in the same IPHC area.
- The eLandings system does allow you to record multiple CFEC permits and multiple IFQ permits for one landing.
- If the permit holders making the delivery have fished in more than one IPHC regulatory area, you will need to create separate landing reports for the harvest that took place in each of the regulatory areas.
The eLandings system Stat Area Worksheet.
- If the statistical area(s) is ambiguous, for example it is part of both 2C/3A, the specific management area can be identified in the Edit IFQ section of the eLandings system.
You will still be able to record multiple CFEC permits when you create separate landing reports for each Regulatory Area and you will still be able to use the Stat Area Worksheet.
I am trying to record halibut and sablefish and by-catch for each species from multiple different stat areas. How do I record multiple species and non-proportional catch in multiple stat areas?
- It is not uncommon for fishers to harvest both IFQ target species, halibut and sablefish, as well as bycatch species from the same fishing trip that come from distinctly different statistical areas.
- When harvest occurs in multiple stat areas for different species, non-proportionately, the Stat Area worksheet should not be used.
- In this type of situation, the itemized catch section can be used to identify specific statistical areas where individual species were caught.
As a participant in a directed halibut fishery, do you expect me to document discarded at sea undersized halibut?
...
- Each cooperative designates an individual to be its official representative. That individual has received a NMFS ID and Password which can be used to access the cooperatives account balance through the eFISH portal.
