Wired salmon tenders: Tendering vessels from Southeast to Western Alaska are field-testing an electronic report system for all salmon deliveries this summer. The process is called "tLandings." "Most deliveries of salmon occur onboard tenders, and thatis where most fish tickets are completed. It's an ideal situation to do electronic reporting," said Gail Smith, electronic landings program coordinator for ADF&G. Between 600 and 700 tender vessels operate in Alaska each year. tLandings is the latest ina series of interagency reporting programs. A process called "eLandings" has been used in Alaska since 2002 and is required in halibut, sablefish, Bering Sea crab, and all groundfish fisheries. "tLandings for salmon is a voluntary program, and we neverenvision it will be mandatory," Smith emphasized.
