Figure 5. Weekly average data load delay and standard error for the three primary vessel-based fisheries-dependent data sets used in the Northeast Region: Study Fleet, Fishing Vessel Trip Report (FVTR), and Northeast Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP). Load delay is defined as the number of days passed from the end of the fishing trip to the data being loaded into Northeast Region’s databases and available to end users. Calendar week corresponds with the week the trip landed. The time period covers the duration when the Study Fleet electronic logbook (ELB) system was fully functional with an Oracle database installed at the Regional Office and load routines routinely being executed.
