Days Until Quota Exhaustion Calculator
This calculator projects how many more fishing days are available before your remaining quota runs out, based on your entered average landing rate per fishing day. This is a projection based on your inputs — actual landings, trip schedules, and fishing conditions will vary. This is a planning tool only, not an authoritative quota-status source.
What this calculator determines
It projects how many fishing days remain before quota is exhausted from remaining quota and average landing rate you enter.

Quota Percentage Used Calculator
Landings to date ÷ total quota × 100 = percent of quota used
Catch Rate Calculator
Pounds landed ÷ fishing hours = pounds per hour catch rate
Examples
Halibut IFQ planning
31,500 lb remaining; avg 2,800 lb/day
Calculation
- 31,500 ÷ 2,800 = 11.25 days
Approximately 11 fishing days remaining
Sablefish season
8,000 lb remaining; avg 1,200 lb/day
Calculation
- 8,000 ÷ 1,200 = 6.7 days
Approximately 7 fishing days remaining
Assumptions & Conventions
- Constant landing rate
- Projection assumes entered average landing rate remains constant over future fishing days.
- Fishing vs calendar days
- Result is in fishing days at the entered landing rate, not calendar days; non-fishing days are not counted.
