CHAPTER 5 Tip * When there is more than one set in the water, pay attention to which set is being hauled (monitor bouys). Vessels often haul gear in a different order than it was set. • Start and End Date – Document the date the haul was set and the date the haul was retrieved as MM/DD. • Start and End Time – Document the Pacific Standard Time (PST) the haul was set and retrieved in 24-hour notation (military time). A haul starts when the first set of buoys is thrown from the vessel or when the first piece of gear goes into the water. The haul ends when the last hook or pot is brought aboard. Loran If <strong>Observer</strong>s are on a vessel that is using Loran C, document the Loran coordinates. Send these to the coordinator in an Excel spreadsheet and they will return the latitude and longitude positions. • Start and End Latitude – Document the location of the first buoy set as the start latitude. Document the location of the final buoy set as the end latitude. Record latitude in degrees, minutes, 1/100 th of a minute. • Start and End Longitude - Document the location of the first buoy set as the start longitude. Document the location of the final buoy set as the end longitude. Record longitude in degrees, minutes, 1/100 th of a minute. • Depth – Document the fishing depth in fathoms. Fathoms 1 fathom = 6 feet 5-20 1/30/2004
CHAPTER 5 • Gear Type – Enter a code for the gear type based on the configuration of the gear. If the <strong>Observer</strong> is on a vessel using a type of fixed gear not listed, please contact a Coordinator/Debriefer for instructions. 6 – Longline or Setnet. 7- Vertical Hook and Line Gear. 8 – Pole (Commercial). 9 – Other Hook and Line Gear. 10 – Fish Pot. 15 – All Troll Gear. 16 – All Other Miscellaneous Gear. **If the vessel is not using one of the above gear types, this is most likely the wrong section of the manual. Please refer to Chapter 4 – Trawl and Prawn Vessels. ** • Target Strategy - Enter the vessel’s target strategy. Please refer to Appendix E for a list of target strategies. 1/30/2004 5-21
