Regardless of Operation type, enter your Catch data into the Itemized Catch table. Utilize the available codes which apply to each of the fields below.
Adding IR/IU (Improved Retention / Improved Utilization) Species & Salmon Prohibited Species Catch (PSC) to Haul Report
The process to add IR/IU Species & Salmon PSC to the Haul Report is the same as other species.
- Enter Species code
