A fisheries observer is an independent specialist who serves on board commercial fishing vessels, or in fish processing plants and other platforms, and is employed by a fisheries observer program, either directly by a government agency or by a third party contractor, such as the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization. Observers spend anywhere from one day to three months with the vessel, recording data on catch composition, biological sampling, and fishing activity.
