Discards. The Sector manager (or his/her designated representative) will derive stock specific discards for each trip. If the trip is observed by either an at-sea monitor or a Northeast Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP) observer, discards will be derived based on data collected during that trip and will account for all hauls (observed and unobserved) on that trip. If the trip is not observed, discards will be derived using the NMFS-provided discard rate resulting from the NMFS method to estimate 'in-season' discard rates, which may not include data from research trips or sector trips using certain exemptions.
