Regulation (EC) No 217/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on the submission of catch and activity statistics by Member States fishing in the north-west Atlantic (recast) (Text with EEA relevance)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
This is the original version as it was originally adopted in the EU.
This legislation may since have been updated - see the latest available (revised) version
Member States must report the nominal catches of those species marked with an asterisk (*). The reporting of nominal catches of the remaining species is optional as concerns the identification of the individual species. However, where data for individual species are not submitted the data shall be included in aggregate categories. Member States may submit data for species not in the list provided that the species are clearly identified.

Three levels of precisions of fishing effort should be provided, where possible.
Fishing gear | Effort measure | Definitions |
---|---|---|
Surrounding nets (purse seines) | Number of sets | Number of times the gear has been set or shot, whether or not a catch was made. This measure is appropriate when shoal size and packing is related to stock abundance or sets are made in a random manner |
Beach seines | Number of sets | Number of times the gear has been set or shot, whether or not a catch was made |
Boat seines | Number of hours fished | Number of times the gear was set or shot times the estimated mean set or shot duration |
Trawls | Number of hours | Number of hours during which the trawl was in the water (midwater trawl) or on the bottom (bottom trawl), and fishing |
Boat dredges | Number of hours fished | Number of hours during which the dredge was on the bottom and fishing |
Gillnets (set or drift) | Number of effort units | Length of nets expressed in 100-metre units multiplied by the number of sets made (= accumulated total length in metres of net used in a given time divided by 100) |
Gillnets (fixed) | Number of effort units | Length of net expressed in 100-metre units multiplied by the number of times the net was cleared |
Traps (uncovered pound nets) | Number of effort units | Number of days fished times the number of units hauled |
Covered pots and fyke nets | Number of effort units | Number of lifts times the number of units (= total number of units fished in a given time period) |
Longlines (set or drift) | Thousands of hooks | Number of hooks fished in a given time period divided by 1 000 |
Handlines (pole, troll, jig, etc.) | Number of line days | Total number of lines used in a given time period |
Harpoons | (Report effort levels B and C only) |
Numbers of days fished: the number of days on which fishing took place. For those fisheries in which searching is a substantial part of the fishing operation, days in which searching but no fishing took place should be included in ‘days fished’ data.
For number of days on ground in addition to days fished and searching also all other days while the vessel was on the ground should be included.
Per cent of estimated effort (prorated effort)
Since corresponding effort measures may not be available for the total catch, the percentage of the effort that has been estimated should be indicated. This is calculated from:
(((Total catch) - (Catch for which effort has been recorded)) × 100)/(Total catch)
(from the International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishing Vessels (ISSCFV))
Tonnage classes
Gross tonnage category | Code |
---|---|
0-49,9 | 02 |

This is the species to which the fishing was principally directed. However, it may not correspond with the species which formed the greater part of the catch. The species should be indicated using the 3-alpha identifier (see Annex I).

All numeric fields should be right justified with leading blanks. All alphanumeric fields should be left justified with trailing blanks.
The catch is to be recorded in the live weight equivalent of the landings to the nearest metric tonne.
