Motherships are required to submit a landing report for each Catcher Vessel delivery. Subsequently, a 'fish ticket' is created in the Landings Report for each Catcher Vessel delivery, as stated at http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/regs/679a5.pdf.

Motherships must create a groundfish landing report using the method described below.

To create a Groundfish Landing report:

Choose Groundfish Landing as type of Report.
Select your Mothership Operation.
