When an IFQ report is generated in elandings and submitted to the NMFS IFQ Halibut & sablefish or the NMFS IFQ crab systems, the condition codes are marked as either "sold" or "retained". Here is a list of how the disposition codes are translated into the IFQ system:

Halibut IFQ and CDQ & sablefish IFQ

Disposition codes designated as “sold”in the IFQ system

41: Sold for fish meal (this is really theoretical since I don't think this is really going to happen in IFQ. I see no code 41 in the data)
60: sold
61: Sold for bait
62: Overage

Disposition codes designated as “retained” in the IFQ system

87: Retained for future sale
88: discarded, infested
89: decomposed or previously discarded
92: retained for bait, not sold
95: personal use; not sold
99: discard, onshore; not sold

Do not get submitted to the IFQ system and don’t come off IFQ

63: confiscated or seized
64: tagged IFQ fish
79: deadloss
86: donated PSC (if in the donation program)
93: damaged by observer sampling
98: discard at sea

Crab

Disposition codes designated as “sold”in the IFQ system

41: Sold For Fishmeal (this is theoretically possible in the system, but crab is not turned into fish meal)
60: Sold
61: Sold for Bait (this is theoretically possible in the system, but crab is not sold as bait)
62: Overage

Disposition codes designated as “retained” in the IFQ system

92: Retained for Bait
95: Personal Use
99: Discard Onshore

Do not get submitted to the IFQ system and don’t come off IFQ

63: confiscated or seized
79: deadloss
86: donated PSC
88: discarded, infested
98: discard at sea
