Figure 15. Percent frequency distribution of catch (lbs.) differences as compared among the Study Fleet pilot program (SFLEET), Fishing Vessel Trip Report (FVTR) program, and the Northeast Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP). Comparisons between (a) Study Fleet and FVTR (a) kept, and (c) discarded amounts, Study Fleet and NEFOP (b) kept and (e) discarded amount, and FVTR and NEFOP (c) kept and (f) discarded amounts are shown. Comparisons used catch records from matched trips. Differences shown in (d) and (e) were calculated without monkfish (Lophius americanus) discard records because of erroneous reporting of the monkfish grade in Study Fleet discards.
