Description:"This report describes the analysis of the expected coverage needed by at-sea observers for Northeast fisheries for the April 2012 through March 2013 period using the Standardized Bycatch Reporting Methodology. Refinements to the procedure for filtering the needed sea days have been made based on analyses conducted for the 2011 3-year Review Report. The sea days needed to achieve the precision-based performance standard (30% coefficient of variation of the discard estimate) were updated using July 2010 through June 2011 data. To monitor 14 federally managed fish and invertebrate species groups across 55 fleets, a total of 18,822 sea days are needed. The discards reported in this document may not necessarily correspond directly with the discard estimates derived for individual stock assessments due to differences in stratification and data. Hence, the discard estimates are not definitive, but indicative of where discarding is occurring among commercial fleets and for which species groups. Based upon this analysis, the predominant species groups discarded are skates and dogfish. Across all species groups examined, "No Market" is the reason reported for the majority of discards"--Executive summary.
