Electronic Fishery Information
Systems
First Nations Electronic Reporting Database
Started in year 2000
Licensing/permitting module, tracks individual catch
Captures all Food, Social & Ceremonial (FSC) catch
Tracks distribution
Captures location, effort and other fishing information
34+ Nations have the database
Data sent electronically to DFO Pacific Region’s
corporate database via e-mail
2011 – Software rebuilt using Visual Studio Net
Training for 34 Nations, additional Nations coming on side
Only means for FSC data to be entered into corporate database
Electronic Fishery Information
Systems
Recreational Electronic Logbook
Started in year 2006
Recreational fishers not required to report catch
3 components to application
On Water – Handheld device, individual fish by GPS
Dockside – Touch screen, less location details
Lodge – Imports data from other devices, reports
2010 – 10 Lodges, 35 Handhelds, 8 Tablet PC’s
10 Handhelds in Olympia
Data sent electronically to DFO Pacific Region’s
corporate database via e-mail DFO MS Exchange server
2011 – Dockside and On Water being built in HTML5
to accommodate new technologies
Increase efforts to deploy software in Pacific Region

Commercial Electronic Logbook
Started in year 2005
Design based on existing paper logbooks
Incorporates input from fishers and DFO Staff
Can include bio and other scientific data
Captures catch and other fishing information at source
Reduces data entry errors, deciphering
Reduces data entry costs for DFO
Standard E-Log components
Start Trip (Provides estimate of effort)
Cancel Trip, Pause Trip, Catch, End Trip, Landing (optional)
Hardware setup (GPS, Satellite Modem/Telephone, USB Stick
Communications Setup (Satellite Modem/Telephone, USB)
Fisher Setup (E-Log I.D., VRN, FIN, E-Mail addresses)
Landing (Optional)

Commercial Electronic Logbook – cont’d
Forces fishers to report as per their license conditions
Forces fishers to meet data and reporting standards
Improves compliance
Exception reports can track violations
Vessel monitoring (hourly position reporting)
Eliminates the purchase of paper logbooks and phone-in
Various standard reports available in application
Data received in real time or near real time if required

Transmission issues resolved
Iridium and Orbcomm satellite modems
Iridium and Globalstar satellite telephones
Cellular telephone
USB Internet device
LAN – Local Area Network connection
Data transmitted via comma delimited text
Difficult to decipher if intercepted
Most economical for fishers
Data sent as a simple, small e-mail message to DFO’s
Microsoft Exchange server
Message gets processed and sent to DFO’s corporate catch
database

Security issues resolved
PRA (Preliminary Risk Assessment) being approved, ensures
transmitted data is not a risk to Fisher or DFO
DFO not responsible for fisher data until it reaches DFO
Microsoft Exchange Server (behind firewall)
• DFO owns data once it reaches the exchange server
E-Log I.D. issued to fishers, eliminates the need to send
personal information
E-Log I.D. and FIN (Fisher Identification Number) sent with
catch and other fishing information
E-Log I.D. and FIN linked to all personal and licensing
information behind DFO firewall in DFO’s corporate
information system

Piloted Fisheries
Net Fisheries (Gillnet & Seine)
• Pacific Salmon, Pacific Herring, Greenland Halibut
Trawl Fisheries
• Atlantic Shrimp
Pot Fisheries
• Pacific Prawn, Atlantic Lobster, Atlantic Snow Crab
Hook and Line Fisheries
• Pacific Salmon (Troll), Tuna
2010 – 134 E-logs deployed Nationally
Software available to fishers at no charge

DFO E-Log Modules
Quota Tracking
• Tracks quota by species and area
• For the fisher only, data not sent
• At sea estimated catch gets updated once catch has been landed
and validated
• Suggested to build this into an “at sea” transferring system
Landing
• Captures landing information, including validated catch
• Applied when required
• Generates electronic or paper sales slip
E-Mail
• Sends and receives small text messages, no attachments
• Ship to ship and ship to shore
• Favorite module!!

Red Sea Urchin
• Interest in developing E-Log module, Managers & Fishers
• Recommendation to make VMS mandatory, Abalone poaching
issues
Dungeness Crab
Snow Crab
• 5 vessel pilot
