Landing Report Data

Landing_report

The landing_report element is the top level element in landing report files.

The landing_report element has several attributes.

data_entry_user - the userid of the user who originally entered and submitted the landing report.
data_entry_user_org - the data entry user's organization. This can be the seafood processor, or an agency if the landing report was data entered by the agency.
data_entry_submit_date - the date and time the report was submitted.
last_change_user - the userid of the user who made the most recent edits to the report. This can be an agency user who edited agency data not visible to processors.
last_change_date - the date and time of the most recent edit.
no_change_after_date - the date and time after which processors cannot edit the report unless unlocked by an agency user.
catcher_processor - a flag that indicates at-sea processing activity. This attribute is used for agency purposes, and will typically be omitted.
operation - the id of the operation that the user selected to use for defaulting processor codes and permits. Changes to the landing report code and permit value may break the relationship, so the operation attribute will not always have a value.

The landing_report has the following elements.

Messages

The messages element provides error and information messages about reports that are submitted to the eLandings server. It will be omitted from reports that are successfully exported from eLandings.

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.
7. Ipq_permit_number
  The ipq_permit_number is conditionally required for crab landings. It will not be present for groundfish landings. If the IFQ permit is a class A permit, then an IPQ number will be present. The IPQ permit will be associated with the RCR number specified in the header.

5. Count
  The count element is not used on landing reports, and will always be omitted.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Line_item

At least one line_item element is required.

- The line item element has one attribute, the round weight for the item.

Item_number
The item_number element is just the sequential item number for the report. However, item numbers may have a break in their sequence if a report is submitted, and then a line item is deleted.
Fish_ticket_number
The fish_ticket_number element contains the fish ticket for the line. It will match one of the fish ticket numbers specified on the permit worksheet.
It indicates the relationship between the CFEC permit and the catch, which is documented on the printed fish ticket.
Stat_area
The stat_area element indicates the statistical area for the catch documented on the line item. The stat_are element is not required. If it is not present then the statistical areas for the catch documented on the line item are specified by the stat area worksheet. The percentages on the stat area worksheet indicate the allocation of the catch weight to statistical areas.
The stat_area element has four attributes.
- #** fed_area - The Federal Reporting Area where the statistical area lies.
  - fed_area_2 - If the statistical area crosses a federal reporting area boundary, the fed_area_2 attribute will be present, containing the second Federal Reporting Area. Otherwise, it will be omitted.
  - iphc_area - The IPHC Regulatory Area where the statistical area lies.
  - iphc_area_2 - If the statistical area crosses an IPHC area boundary, the iphc_area_2 attribute will be present, containing the second IPHC Regulatory Area. Otherwise, it will be omitted.
Species
The species element is always present. It is the ADF&G numeric species code, and it indicates the species of the catch documented on the line item.
The species element includes one attribute, the species name.
Condition_code
The condition_code element is always present. It is the numeric condition code indicating the physical state of the catch in terms of processing already done to it. The condition code is used to determine the product recovery rate to apply to the line item weight to derive the round weigh of the catch documented on the line item.
Weight
The weight element is always present for sold items, and is usually present, except for discard items where only a count is documented. This element is the scale weight in pounds for the line item, unless the weight_modifier element indicates it is estimated weight. The weight may include up to 4 decimal places, and will be less than 100 million.
Weight_modifier
The weight_modifier element is not always present. It is primarily used on groundfish IFQ landing reports to document whether Ice and Slime is included in the weight. The Ice and Slime value can only be used for halibut and sablefish. The estimated value is used for hailed weight fish tickets, and should not be seen for line items on submitted The values will be:

Value

Description

I/S

Weight includes ice and slime

Est

Estimated weight
Count
The count element is always present for IFQ crab sold items and salmon, is generally not populated for groundfish. The count element is the number of animals accounted for on that line item. For discard lines on groundfish reports count will be present if weight is omitted.
Effort
The effort element is used for IFQ crab. This is the number of pot lifts. Effort will not be present for groundfish or salmon reports. Effort on crab landing reports may not be present if the line item does not have a statistical area noted. In that case the effort is documented on the statistical area worksheet.
Disposition_code
The disposition_code element will always be present. It identifies the final usage or action of the line item, such as sold for human consumption or discarded at sea. The valid disposition code values are available on the web application.
Agency_line_data
The agency_line_data element will be omitted from reports that are made visible to processors and third party systems.
Product_item
The product_item element may be present for line items that have sold dispositions, and in certain other cases. Multiple product_item elements may be specified per line item, for cases where the line item amount has multiple sizes and grades. For line items with a condition code that can be either a primary or ancillary product, at least one product_item will be present. In that case, if the disposition of the line item is not a sold disposition then the product_item will not have a price.
1. Item_number
  The item_number element is just the sequential item number for the product items under the line item. However, item numbers may have a break in their sequence if a report is submitted, and then a product item is deleted.
2. Product_code
  The product_code element will always be present. Product code is a misnomer; this data element is actually the sold condition code. For IFQ crab it will be the same as the line item condition code. For groundfish it may be different, for example when the fisherman delivers whole sablefish, but is paid on the weight of dressed fish. In general, salmon product items have the same product code as their line item, but it could be different if the processor wishes to price by a particular condition that is different than the delivery condition. For IFQ crab the product code must always be the same as the line item condition code.
3. Product_type
  The product_type element is required. It indicates where the sold item is a primary product or an ancillary product. The values are
  
  Value
  
  Description
  
  P
  
  Primary product
  
  A
  
  Ancillary product
4. Size_grade
  The size_grade element will not always be present. This is an optional field that allows processors to list sizing and grading information on the product items. It is freeform text. Processors are free to price product items without providing size/grade information.
5. Tare
  The tare element is not populated on landing reports extracted from eLandings. Tare is the weight of the brailer or tote. This data element is used by the tLandings subsystem, but is not filled in on landing reports.
6. Weight
  The weight element will always be present. This is the weight of the sold item. The total of the weights of all the product items for a line item will not be more that the weight of the line item, but could be less if the product codes are not the same as the product code on the line item.
7. Price
  The price element is required. The price can have up to 3 decimal places. In some cases the price will be zero.
Line_Item_stat_area
The line_item_stat_area element will not be present.
Line Item Comment
The line item comment present in specific situations. If the condition code for the line item is 97, the comment code for the line item comment will also be 97 and the comment text will contain a description of the condition of the fish. Disposition codes of 62 for overages and 64 for tagged fish also indicate that a comment should be expected. See the elandings online documentation for codes and valid combinations.
1. Comment_code
  The comment_code element is the code for the comment.
2. Comment_test
  The text information for the comment, if any was entered.

Ifq_report

The ifq_report element may be present for landing reports for IFQ species. The ifq_report element will be present only if the IFQ report was submitted through the eLandings system. IFQ reports that were made to the NMFS data clerks will not appear in the landing report XML file. The ifq_report element has ten attributes.
