Vessel Electronic Reporting System (VERS)

Published by Northeast Fisheries Science Center | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: December 20, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-10-08T18:32:56.000+00:00
The VERS system is composed of a database and other related applications which facilitate the reporting of electronically collected research data via Fisheries Logbook Data Recording Software (FLDRS). These data are collected aboard federally permitted commercial fishing vessels, and the system allows for the collection of data to exceed regulatory requirements to address research needs, while simultaneously being submitted for Vessel Trip Reporting (VTR) purposes in order to satisfy federal reporting requirements.
