Description:"NOAA Fisheries is currently preparing a National Bycatch Report summarizing estimates of discards, by species, which occurred in 2005 in all federally managed fisheries in the United States. This document briefly describes the methods used to estimate the discards of finfish and shellfish in 2005 in fisheries in the Northeast Region, which will be included in the National Bycatch Report. The regional analysis involved 33 species and 77 fleets. Stock components were not considered in the analyses, and only fleets for which discard estimates could actually be derived will be included in the National Bycatch Report. The discard estimation process used a stratification approach broad enough to encompass all species, and employed a combined ratio method using a discard-to-kept weight ratio. The discard estimates derived will not necessarily directly correspond with those contained in individual stock assessments due to differences in stratification and estimation methods. However, the various estimates should be of the same order of magnitude"--Introduction.
