Description:"This report describes the discard estimation analysis performed for the 2013 Update to the National Bycatch Report. Estimates of discards that occurred during the January to December 2010 period in all federally managed fisheries in the northeast United States were derived for 34 species of finfish and invertebrates using a combined discard-to-kept ratio estimator. Based on this analysis, approximately 64,557 mt (live weight) of discards occurred across the 34 species and 29 fleets considered. The predominant species groups discarded were skates, Atlantic sea scallops and dogfish. 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"--Executive summary.
