7. Disposition: For each species, specify the disposition as follows: Enter "C" for fish consumed on board and for fish which are frozen or otherwise processed other than for fishmeal; enter "M" for fish which are processed for fishmeal; and enter "D" for fish which are discarded. For individual fish which are in part used for fishmeal with the remainder otherwise processed, enter “C”.

B. Log maintenance. The cumulative catch log is to be updated within 12 hours following the end of the day on which the catch was taken. Entries as to weights shall be based on the most accurate method available to the vessel including, but not limited to, scale round weights, factory weights converted to round weights, or estimated deck weights.

C. Sample log entries. 1. The stern trawler NAVIS, LTUX, permit number LT-79-0001A, commenced fishing under its 1979 permit on March 13, 1979.

1. To ensure receipt of the Weekly Catch Report in a timely manner, Telex reports may be used. If a Telex report is submitted, a completed copy of the report form must be submitted by mail as a confirmation. Designated representatives may include a number of vessel reports in one Telex message providing the information is submitted on a vessel-by-vessel basis.

2. Reports submitted by Telex shall contain the message identifier "CATREP" as the first group of the text to indicate that the information which follows constitutes a Weekly Catch Report. Data shall be submitted as follows:

Vessel name/Permit number/Date//
Area/Days fished//

Species/Catch//Species/Catch//etc.//
Area/Days fished//

Species/Catch//Species/Catch//ect.//etc.

C. Example of a Weekly Catch Report. 1. The stern trawler NAVIS, permit number LT-79-0001-A, entered the fishery conservation zone on Sunday, March 11, 1979, began fishing in the Yakutat area (code 64) of the Gulf of Alaska on March 13, and continued fishing in that area the morning of March 14. The afternoon of March 14, the vessel shifted to the Kodiak area (code 63), commenced fishing that evening, and continued fishing through Saturday, March, 17, 1979. (Note that March 14 counts as a day fished in both area 64 and area 63). In the Yakutat area the vessel caught 121.6 tons of pollock (code 701), 17.8 tons of Pacific ocean perch (code 780), and 8.0 tons of Atka mackerel (code 207). In the Kodiak area the vessel caught 23.4 tons of pollock, 23.7 tons of Pacific ocean perch, 86.4 tons of Atka mackerel, and .4 tons of sablefish (code 703).
