Estimates of discards that occurred during the 2011, 2012, and 2013 calendar years in all federally managed fisheries in the northeast United States were derived for 34 species of finfish and invertebrates by using a combined discard/kept ratio estimator. Based on this analysis, approximately 63,680 mt (live weight) of discards occurred in 23 fleets in 2011, approximately 61,594 mt (live weight) of discards occurred in 23 fleets in 2012, and approximately 63,603 mt (live weight) of discards occurred in 24 fleets in 2013 across the 34 species considered. In all three years, the predominant species discarded were skates (Rajidae), spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias), and Atlantic sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus). The discards reported in this document may not necessarily correspond directly with the discard estimates derived for individual stock assessments because of differences in stratification and data. Hence, the discard estimates presented here are not definitive, but indicative of where discarding is occurring among commercial fisheries and for which species.
