In the event that any squid jigging fishing vessel leaves a port, its captain shall daily report catch data through the E-logbook system designated by the competent authority, and shall also fill in the logbooks designated by the competent authority by fishery types. Catch reports shall be filled in completely and accurately, and where the catch amount is zero, catch reports shall be filled in as well.
In case that there is any discrepancy between any datum recorded in the E-logbook system and the logbook, the datum recorded in the E-logbook system shall prevail.

In case that the E-logbook system fails to report catch data on the day, the distant water fisheries operator or the captain shall transmit catch data via facsimile to the competent authority or the commissioned professional institution next day. Such catch data shall be signed by the distant water fisheries operator or the captain.
In the event that the E-logbook system fails to report catch data for three consecutive days, it is deemed as mal-function. The malfunctioning E-logbook system shall be repaired no later than 30 days.
In the event that the E-logbook system onboard is deemed as mal-functional for an accumulative period of 15 days and above during one fishing trip, the competent authority may order such fishing vessel to stop fishing immediately and directly navigate to a designated port within the required timeframe for repair and inspection(s) conducted by the personnel dispatched by the competent authority, and the vessel shall not leave the port until the commissioned professional institution has confirmed that such E-logbook system can normally transmit data.
Any expense incurred from port return, port entry and confirmation of the E-logbook system as referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be borne by the distant water fisheries operator.

Any salmon, trout, sea turtle, seabird, whale shark, cetacean, penguin or other prohibited species promulgated by the competent authority incidentally caught by any squid jigging fishing vessel shall be released when caught alive or discarded dead, and the number(s) be duly recorded in the logbooks and E-logbook system.

Any fish species of no economic value or no utilizing value caught by any squid jigging fishing vessel shall be released immediately, and the number(s) discarded shall be duly recorded in the logbooks and E-logbook system.

In case of bycatch of sharks by any squid jigging fishing vessel, fins shall not be fully cut off and shall be naturally attached to carcasses for the disposal of shark fins, and the number(s) of sharks shall be duly recorded in the logbooks and the E-logbook system.

The datum reported through the E-logbook system shall not be altered or amended, unless there is apparent error with the content and the competent authority has approved.

The discrepancy between the catch amount recorded in the E-logbook during one fishing trip of any squid jigging fishing vessel and the actual landing amount shall not exceed 20% of the actual landing amount.
In case that the discrepancy exceeds the ratio as referred to in the preceding paragraph but is less than four metric tons, the competent authority, at its discretion, may deem such situation as non-misreporting.
In the event that the discrepancy between the catch amount recorded in the E-logbook and the actual landing amount exceeds four metric tons and 50% of the actual landing amount, it shall be defined as “seriously misreporting” as referred to in subparagraph (12) of Article 13, paragraph 1 of the Act.
