Description of segments U.K.

A Polyvalent small-scale vessels without engine

—

All vessels less than 12 metres in length (LOA) without an engine (wind or propulsion).

B Polyvalent small-scale vessels with engine less than 6 m

—

All vessels under 6 metres in length (LOA) with engine.

C Polyvalent small-scale vessels with engine between 6 and 12 metres

—

All vessels between 6 and 12 metres in length (LOA) with engine, that use different gears during the year without clear predominance of one of them or that use a gear not considered in this classification.

D Trawlers less than 12 m

—

All vessels less than 12 metres in length (LOA) allocating more than 50 percent of their effort operating with a demersal trawl.

E Trawlers between 12 and 24 m

—

All vessels, between 12 and 24 metres in length (LOA) allocating more than 50 percent of their effort operating with a demersal trawl.

F Trawlers longer than 24 m

—

All vessels over 24 metres in length (LOA), allocating more than 50 percent of their effort operating with a demersal trawl.

G Purse Seiners between 6 and 12 m

—

All vessels between 6 and 12 m in length (LOA), allocating more than 50 percent of their effort operating with a purse seine.

H Purse Seiners longer than 12 m

—

All vessels over 12 m in length (LOA), allocating more than 50 percent of their effort operating with a purse seine, excluding those using a tuna seine during any time of the year.

I Longliners longer than 6 m

—

All vessels over 6 m in length (LOA), allocating more than 50 percent of their effort operating with a longline.

J Pelagic Trawlers longer than 6 m

—

All vessels over 6 m in length (LOA), allocating more than 50 percent of their effort operating with a pelagic trawl.

K Tuna seiners

—

All vessels operating with a Tuna Seine for any length of time during the year.

L Dredgers longer than 6 m

—

All vessels over 6 m in length (LOA), allocating more than 50 percent of their effort operating with a dredge.

M Polyvalent vessels longer than 12 m

—

All vessels over 12 metres in length (LOA), that use different gears during the year without clear predominance of one of them or that use a gear not considered in this classification.

Note: All the cells are open for collecting information. The cells left blank in the above table are considered as unlikely to have a significant population. However, if necessary, it is advisable to merge the information of a ‘blank cell’ with the most appropriate neighbouring ‘grey cell’. U.K.
