Code 87 - Retained for Future sale

Background

Disposition Code 87 (Retained for Future Sale) is reported by processors at the time of offload when there is halibut and IFQ sablefish that is being retained by the fisherman for future sale. Since both halibut and sablefish must be offloaded continuously and reported on the initial fish ticket, code 87 enables the documentation of the weight at the time of offload and provides a way for the fisherman to sell the fish later.

By using code 87, the buyer is indicating that the associated pounds will be retained for a future sale and that future sale will be sold and documented on a separate, follow-up fish ticket.

Agency Procedures

IPHC staff will review all records with code 87 in June and December each year. Two outcomes are possible during this review:

1) When the separate ticket is present, IPHC staff will change the code on the initial fish ticket ticket from code 87 to code 67.

Code 67 indicates that the associated pounds have been reported on a separate fish ticket ticket.

2) When no separate ticket is present, IPHC staff will contact the fisherman and remind the fisherman that a follow up ticket must be produced.

If no separate ticket is produced, one year after initial submission, IPHC staff will change the code on the original ticket from 87 to 47.

Code 47 indicates that the associated pounds have not been reported on a separate ticket.

Disposition Codes 67 and 47 are unpublished and only assigned by agency staff.

Retained for future sale (Code 87) - IFQ Species only

Code 87 should only be used if the fisher is taking the catch back onboard the vessel to sell at a later time. Documentation of retained for future sale indicates that a purchase has not occurred at the point of initial offload. The future sale may be via a dockside sale or to another processor. When the retained fish is finally sold, a second fish ticket/landing report must be completed. In the case of dockside sales, the fisher must complete a fish ticket using their catcher/seller processor permit. All information elements on the second report must be completed including the species, delivery condition code, the weight of the catch, the disposition code, and the price paid. To accurately document the catch, the partial delivery box needs to be checked on both fish tickets.

Example Scenario for code 87

A fishing vessel comes into port to make a halibut landing with 2000 pounds of fish. The permit holder wants to sell most of the halibut to the Island Fisheries processing plant, but wants to retain 500 pounds to sell via dockside sales.

The fisherman must offload and weigh the entire* catch at the Island Fisheries plant. Island Fisheries completes a landing report with 1,500 lbs as code 60 (sold for human consumption) and 500 lbs as code 87 (retained for future sale). Island Fisheries submits the IFQ report for all 2,000 lbs of halibut. The partial delivery box needs to be checked on the landing report.

The fisherman then takes the 500 lbs back onto his boat to sell via dockside. For each sale, he will need to complete another landing report using his own Registered Buyer permit and documenting the amount of each transaction. These must be reported as code 60 (sold) and there will not be IFQ report submitted.

*Note: IPHC regulations require all halibut to be weighed and recorded at the first offload site.

Looking up Processor details for contact information

Sign into eLandings Agency Web. Navigate to Admin > Processor Users

This brings you to the search page. From here you can search by name, email, company, port, etc. Use the fields to narrow your search as much as desired. In this instance I am just searching for all companies with the word “Fish” in the title. Once you enter your parameters, click "Search" to display results just below the "Search" and "Reset" buttons.

A list of User IDs associated with the company names that included the word “Fish” were listed. Use the name, phone number and status to choose which contact is the one you are looking for. To see more information about that User, click the blue User ID.

The user detail page provides email and phone (highlighted in light yellow) as well as last login, fax, and the Operations the user is authorized on. You can see more detail about the operations by clicking on the Operation ID.

Clicking on the Operation ID takes you to the Operation Page, that has Operation details.
