            COMMISSION DECISION
         
of 18 December 2009
         
adopting a multiannual Community programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector for the period 2011-2013
(notified under document C(2009) 10121)
(2010/93/EU)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 of 25 February 2008 concerning the establishment of a Community framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector and support for scientific advice regarding the Common Fisheries Policy (1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 199/2008, a multi-annual Community programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector is to be drawn up for three-year periods. It is therefore necessary to establish the multiannual Community programme for the period 2011-2013.












(2)


The Communication from the Commission of 5 February 2009 on a European Community Action Plan for the Conservation and Management of Sharks (2) has recommended the collection of reliable and detailed species-specific quantitative and biological data concerning commercial fisheries involving catches of Chondrichthyans (hereinafter referred to as ‘sharks’). In addition, regular catch monitoring of recreational fisheries involving catches of shark species is suggested.












(3)


On the basis of that Communication, the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) has recommended that data concerning such commercial fisheries and recreational fisheries be included in the list of fishing activity by region and in the list of biological variables for which data are to be collected.












(4)


The multi-annual Community programme for the period 2011-2013 should therefore provide for the collection, management and use of data on sharks in addition to the data already required in the programming period 2009-2010 under Commission Decision 2008/949/EC (3).












(5)


For reasons of legal certainty, Decision 2008/949/EC should be repealed with effect from 1 January 2011.












(6)


The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
The multiannual Community programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector for the period 2011-2013, as referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 199/2008, is set out in the Annex.


Article 2
Decision 2008/949/EC is repealed with effect from 1 January 2011.


Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

MULTI ANNUAL COMMUNITY PROGRAMME

CHAPTER I

Subject-matter and definitions









1.


For the purpose of this Community Programme the following definitions shall apply:
(a)   active vessels: vessels that have been engaged in any fishing operation (more than 0 days) during a calendar year. A vessel that has not been engaged in fishing operations during a year is considered ‘inactive’;
(b)   concurrent sampling: sampling all or a predefined assemblage of species, simultaneously in a vessel’s catches or landings;
(c)   days at sea: any continuous period of 24 hours (or part thereof) during which a vessel is present within an area and absent from port;
(d)   fleet segment: a group of vessels with the same length class (LOA) and predominant fishing gear during the year, according to the Appendix III. Vessels may have different fishing activities during the reference period, but might be classified in only one fleet segment;
(e)   fishing days: each day is attributed to the area where the most fishing time was spent during the relevant day at sea. However, for passive gears, if no operation took place from the vessel during a day while at least one (passive) gear remained at sea, that day will be associated to the area where the last setting of a fishing gear was carried out on that fishing trip;
(f)   fishing trip: means any voyage by a fishing vessel from a land location to a landing place, excluding non-fishing trips (a trip by a fishing vessel from a location to a land location during which it does not engage in fishing activities and during which any gear on board is securely lashed and stowed and not available for immediate use);
(g)   metier: a group of fishing operations targeting a similar (assemblage of) species, using similar gear, during the same period of the year and/or within the same area and which are characterised by a similar exploitation pattern;
(h)   population of vessels: all vessels in the Community Fishing Fleet Register as defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 26/2004 (1);
(i)   selected species: species of relevance for management purposes and for which a request is made by an international scientific body or a regional fisheries management organisation;
(j)   soaking time: time calculated from the point where each individual unit of gear has been set, to the time when the same unit starts to be removed.












2.


For the following terms, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (www.fao.org/fi/glossary/default.asp) and STECF definitions shall apply: anadromous species, catadromus species, catches, cephalopods, crustaceans, deep water species, demersal fish, demersal species, exploitation pattern, finfish, fresh water species, gears, landings, discards, large pelagic fish, molluscs, other activity than fishing, pelagic fish, small pelagic fish, target species.




CHAPTER II

A.   CONTENTS OF THE COMMUNITY PROGRAMME
The Community programme comprises of the following modules:








1.


Module of evaluation of the fishing sector:
The data collection programme for the fishing sector contains the following sections:






(a)


section for the collection of economic variables;










(b)


section for the collection of biological variables;










(c)


section for the collection of transversal variables;










(d)


section for research surveys at sea.

(b)


section for the collection of economic data for the processing industry.
















3.


Module of evaluation of the effects of the fishing sector on the marine ecosystem












4.


Module for management and use of the data covered by the data collection framework




B.   PRECISION LEVELS AND SAMPLING INTENSITIES








1.


Where it is not possible to define quantitative targets for sampling programmes, neither in terms of precision levels, nor in terms of sample size, pilot surveys in the statistical sense shall be established. Such pilot surveys shall evaluate the importance of the problem and shall also address the utility of future more detailed surveys, and the cost-effectiveness relationship of such detailed surveys.












2.


Where quantitative targets can be defined, they may be specified either directly by sample sizes or sampling rates, or by the definition of the levels of precision and of confidence to be achieved.












3.


Where reference is made to a sample size or to a sampling rate in a population defined in statistical terms, the sampling strategies shall be at least as efficient as Simple Random Sampling. Such sampling strategies shall be described within the corresponding National Programmes.












4.


Where reference is made to precision/confidence level the following distinction shall apply:
(a)   Level 1: level making it possible to estimate a parameter either with a precision of plus or minus 40 % for a 95 % confidence level or a coefficient of variation (CV) of 20 % used as an approximation;
(b)   Level 2: level making it possible to estimate a parameter either with a precision of plus or minus 25 % for a 95 % confidence level or a coefficient of variation (CV) of 12,5 % used as an approximation;
(c)   Level 3: level making it possible to estimate a parameter either with a precision of plus or minus 5 % for a 95 % confidence level or a coefficient of variation (CV) of 2,5 % used as an approximation.




CHAPTER III

Module of evaluation of the fishing sector

A.   COLLECTION OF ECONOMIC VARIABLES
1.   Variables









1.


Variables to be collected are listed in Appendix VI. All economic variables are to be collected on an annual basis with the exception of those identified as transversal variables as defined in Appendix VIII and those identified in order to measure the effects of the fishery on the marine ecosystem as defined in Appendix XIII which are to be collected at more disaggregated levelsThe population is all vessels in the Community Fishing Fleet Register on the 1st of January. All economic variables have to be collected for active vessels. For each vessel for which economic variables defined in Appendix VI are collected, the corresponding transversal variables defined in Appendix VIII have also to be collected.












2.


For inactive vessels only capital value (Appendix VI), fleet (Appendix VI) and capacity (Appendix VIII) shall be collected.












3.


National currencies shall be transformed into Euro using the average annual exchange rates available from the European Central Bank (ECB).




2.   Disaggregation levels









1.


Economic variables shall be reported for each fleet segment (Appendix III) and supra region (Appendix II). Six length classes (using the ‘overall length’ measurement (LOA)) are defined. However Member States are free to further disaggregate length classes if appropriate.












2.


The dominance criteria shall be used to allocate each vessel to a segment based on the number of fishing days used with each gear. If a fishing gear is used by more than the sum of all the others (i.e. a vessel spends more than 50 % of its fishing time using that gear), the vessel shall be allocated to that segment. If not, the vessel shall be allocated to the following fleet segment:






(a)


‘Vessels using Polyvalent active gears’ if it only uses active gears;










(b)


‘Vessels using Polyvalent passive gears’ if it only uses passive gears;










(c)


‘Vessels using active and passive gears’.
















3.


In cases where a vessel operates in more than one supra region as defined in Appendix II, Member States shall explain in their national programme to which supra region the vessel is allocated.












4.


In cases where a fleet segment has less than 10 vessels:






(a)


clustering may be necessary in order to design the sampling plan and to report economic variables;










(b)


Member States shall report which fleet segments have been grouped at the national level and shall justify the clustering on the basis of statistical analysis;










(c)


in their annual report, Member States shall report the number of sampled vessels for each fleet segment regardless of any clustering made to collect or provide the data;










(d)


Regional Coordination Meetings shall define homogeneous clustering methodology at the level of supra regions so that economic variables are comparable.








3.   Sampling strategy









1.


Member States shall describe their methodologies used for estimating each economic variable, including quality aspects, in their national programmes.












2.


Member States shall ensure consistency and comparability of all economic variables when derived from different sources (e.g. surveys, fleet register, logbooks, sales notes).




4.   Precision levels









1.


Member States shall include in their annual report information on the quality (accuracy and precision) of estimates.




B.   COLLECTION OF BIOLOGICAL VARIABLES
B1.   Metier-related variables

1.   Variables









1.


Sampling must be performed in order to evaluate the quarterly length distribution of species in the catches, and the quarterly volume of discards. Data shall be collected by metier referred to as level 6 of the matrix defined in Appendix IV (1 to 5) and for the stocks listed in Appendix VII.












2.


Where relevant additional biological sampling programmes of the unsorted landings have to be carried out in order to estimate:






(a)


the share of the various stocks in these landings for Herring in the Skagerrak IIIA-N, Kattegat IIIa-S, and Eastern North Sea separately and salmon in the Baltic Sea;










(b)


the share of the various species for those groups of species that are internationally assessed, e.g. Megrims, Anglerfishes and elasmobranches.








2.   Disaggregation level









1.


In order to optimise the sampling programmes, the metiers defined in Appendix IV (1 to 5) may be merged. When metiers are merged (vertical merging), statistical evidence shall be brought regarding the homogeneity of the combined metiers. Merging of neighbouring cells corresponding to fleet segments of the vessels (horizontal merging) shall be supported by statistical evidence. Such horizontal merging shall be done primarily by clustering neighbouring vessel LOA classes, independently of the dominant fishing techniques, when appropriate to distinguish different exploitation patterns. Regional agreement on mergers shall be sought at the relevant Regional Coordination Meeting and endorsed by STECF.












2.


At national level, one metier defined at level 6 of the matrix in Appendix IV (1 to 5) may be further disaggregated into several more precise strata, i.e. distinguishing different target species. Such further stratification shall be done respecting the two following principles:






(a)


the strata defined at national level do not overlap the metiers defined in Appendix IV (1 to 5);










(b)


the strata defined at national level must, in their entirety comprise of all the fishing trips of the metier defined at level 6.
















3.


The spatial units for metier sampling are defined by level 3 of Appendix I for all the regions with the following exceptions:






(a)


the Baltic Sea (ICES areas III b-d), Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea where the resolution shall be level 4;










(b)


Regional Fisheries Management Organisations units, providing they are metier-based (in the absence of such definitions, Regional Fisheries Management Organisations shall proceed to appropriate mergers).
















4.


For the purpose of collection and aggregation of data, spatial sampling units may be clustered by regions as referred to in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) 665/2008 (2) after agreement by the relevant Regional Co-ordination Meetings.












5.


For parameters referred to in Chapter III section B/B1 1. (2), data shall be provided quarterly and be consistent with the fleet fishing activity matrix described in Appendix IV (1 to 5).




3.   Sampling strategy









1.


For the landings:






(a)


the Member State on whose territory the first sale take place, shall be responsible for ensuring that biological sampling occurs according to the standards defined in this Community Programme. If necessary, Member States shall co-operate with the authorities of non-EU third countries to set up biological sampling programmes for the landings carried out by vessels flying the third country’s flag;










(b)


for sampling purpose, only the major metiers need be considered. In order to identify the metiers to be sampled, the following ranking system shall be used at level 6 of the matrix in Appendix IV (1 to 5) on a national basis by Member States using as reference the average values of the 2 previous years and:






—


the metier cells shall first be ranked according to their share in the total commercial landings. The shares are then to be cumulated, starting with the largest, until a cut-off level of 90 % is reached. All metiers belonging to the top 90 % shall be selected for sampling,










—


the exercise shall then be repeated according to the total value of the commercial landings and repeated a third time according to the total effort in days-at-sea. The metiers in the top 90 % not belonging to the previous top 90 % shall be added to the selection,










—


STECF may add to the selection the metiers not picked up by the ranking system but of special importance in terms of management;














(c)


the sampling unit shall be the fishing trip and the number of fishing trips to be sampled shall ensure good coverage of the metier;










(d)


precision values and ranking system are referenced at the same level as the sampling programmes, i.e. at the national metier level for data that are collected through national programmes and at regional metier level for data that are collected through regionally coordinated sampling programmes;










(e)


the sampling intensity shall be proportionate to the relative effort and variability in the catches of that metier. The minimum number of fishing trips to be sampled shall never be less than 1 fishing trip per month during the fishing season for fishing trips of less than 2 weeks and 1 fishing trip per quarter otherwise;










(f)


when sampling a fishing trip, the species shall be sampled concurrently as follows:
Each species within a region as defined in Appendix II, shall be classified within a group according to the following rules:
—   Group 1: Species that drive the international management process including species under EU management plans or EU recovery plans or EU long term multi-annual plans or EU action plans for conservation and management based on Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 (3),
—   Group 2: Other internationally regulated species and major non-internationally regulated by-catch species,
—   Group 3: All other by-catch (fish and shellfish) species. The list of Group 3 species shall be established at the regional level by the relevant regional co-ordination meeting and agreed by STECF;










(g)


allocation of species to Group 1 and 2 is specified in Appendix VII. The choice of the sampling scheme shall depend on the diversity of species to sample and the operational conditions under which sampling takes place. The sampling design per metier must consider both the periodicity of the sampling events and the sampling scheme to apply. Possible sampling schemes, as described in the following table, comprise:
—   Scheme 1: comprehensive sampling of all species,
—   Scheme 2: within each time stratum, the sampling events are split in two parts. One part of the sampling events (x %) considers sampling of all species on shore whereas the other part of the sampling events (100 – x %) considers only sampling of all Group 1 species,
—   Scheme 3: within each time stratum, the sampling events are split in two parts. One part of the sampling events (x %) considers sampling of all Group 1 and Group 2 species on shore, whereas the other part of the sampling events (100 – x %) considers only sampling of Group 1 species. In this scheme, Group 3 species have to be sampled at sea;

(h)


for any given sample, the sampling scheme shall be recorded (Table 1) along with information on how complete the sampling is:
When sampling a species, the number of individuals measured must ensure quality and accuracy of resultant length frequency. The number of length classes within a sample may be estimated from the approximate length range within it and, from this, the number of fish measured shall lie between 3 x number of length classes and 5 x number of length classes as a first approximation, in the absence of any statistical optimisation of the sampling design;










(i)


other sampling procedures could be used on the condition that there is scientific evidence showing that these procedures will achieve the same objectives as the ones described in point 3(1)(g);










(j)


a summary of the sampling protocols carried out by Member States shall be made available to STECF through the national programmes for each metier sampled.
















2.


For the discards:






(a)


the ranking system referred to in Chapter III section B/B1 3 (1) (b), shall be used to select the metiers in order to estimate discards. In any case, where discards of a given metier are estimated to exceed 10 % of the total volume of catches and this metier is not picked up by the ranking system this metier shall be sampled;










(b)


the sampling unit shall be the fishing trip and the number of fishing trips to be sampled shall ensure good coverage of the metier;










(c)


precision values and the ranking system are referenced at the same level as the sampling programmes, i.e. at the national metier level for data that are collected through national programmes and at regional metier level for data that are collected through regionally coordinated sampling programmes;










(d)


the sampling intensity shall be proportionate to the relative effort and/or the variability in catches of the metier. The minimum number of fishing trips to be sampled shall not be less than 2 fishing trips per quarter;










(e)


discards will be monitored for the Group 1, 2 and 3 species, defined in Chapter III section B/B1/3. (f), to estimate the quarterly average weight of discards. Furthermore:






—


discards must be the subject of a quarterly estimate of the length distributions when they represent on an annual basis, either more than 10 % of the total catches by weight or more than 15 % of the catches in numbers for the Group 1 and Group 2 species,










—


when discards take place for species length ranges which are not represented in the landings, age-reading must take place in accordance with the rules set out in Appendix VII;














(f)


where relevant, pilot surveys as referred to in Chapter II B (1) shall be carried out;










(g)


a summary of the sampling protocols carried out by Member States shall be made available to STECF through the national programmes for each metier sampled.
















3.


For the recreational fisheries:






(a)


for the recreational fisheries targeting the species listed in Appendix IV (1 to 5), Member States shall evaluate the quarterly weight of the catches;










(b)


where relevant, pilot surveys as referred to in Chapter II B (1) shall be carried out to estimate the importance of the recreational fisheries mentioned in point 3(3)(a).








4.   Precision levels









1.


For the landings:






(a)


the precision level 2 shall be targeted at the stock level for both Group 1 and Group 2 species. If necessary, specific stock-based samples shall be added if metier-based sampling fails to provide the appropriate precision for length distributions at the stock level.
















2.


For the discards:






(a)


data related to quarterly estimates of discards length and age composition for Group 1 and Group 2 species must lead to a precision of level 1;










(b)


weight estimates of Group 1, 2 and 3 species must lead to a precision of level 1.
















3.


For the recreational fisheries:






(a)


data related to annual estimates of the catches in volumes must lead to a precision of level 1.








5.   Exemption rules









1.


If Member States can not reach levels of precision referred to in Chapter III section B/B1/4 2 (a) and (b) and 3(a) and (b), or only at excessive costs, they can obtain, based on STECF recommendation, derogation from the Commission to reduce the precision level, sampling frequency or to implement a pilot survey provided this request is fully documented and scientifically proven.

For sampling strategies and sampling intensities, the rules established in Chapter II section B (Precision levels and sampling intensities) shall apply.




3.   Sampling strategy









1.


Wherever possible, age-reading shall be performed on commercial catches in order to estimate the age composition by species and, where relevant, the growth parameters. Where this is not possible, Member States shall justify why in their national programmes.












2.


If cooperation between Member States ensures that the overall estimate of the parameters listed in Appendix VII reach the necessary precision level, each Member State shall ensure that its own contribution to the common dataset is sufficient to reach that precision level.




4.   Precision levels









1.


For stocks of species that can be aged, average weights and lengths for each age shall be estimated at a precision level 3, up to such an age that accumulated landings for the corresponding ages account for at least 90 % of the national landings for the relevant stock.












2.


For stocks for which age reading is not possible, but for which a growth curve can be estimated, average weights and lengths for each pseudo age (e.g. derived from the growth curves) shall be estimated with a precision of level 2, up to such an age that accumulated landings for the corresponding ages account for at least 90 % of the national landings for the relevant stock.












3.


For maturity, fecundity and sex ratios, a choice may be made between reference to age or length, provided that Members States which have to conduct the corresponding biological sampling, have agreed the following:






(a)


for maturity and fecundity, calculated as proportion of mature fish, precision of level 3 must be achieved within the age and/or length range, the limits of which correspond to a 20 % and 90 % of mature fish;










(b)


for sex ratio, calculated as proportion of females, precision of level 3 must be achieved, up to such an age or length that cumulated landings for the corresponding ages or lengths account for at least 90 % of the national landings for this stock.








5.   Exemptions rules









1.


The national programme of a Member State may exclude the estimation of the stock related variables for stocks for which TAC’s and quota have been defined under the following conditions:






(a)


the relevant quota must correspond to less than 10 % of the Community share of the TAC or to less than 200 tonnes on average during the previous three years;










(b)


the sum of relevant quotas of Member States whose allocation is less than 10 %, must account for less than 25 % of the Community share of the TAC.
















2.


If the condition set out in above point 1(a) is fulfilled, but not the condition set out in point 1(b), the relevant Member States may set up a coordinated programme to achieve, for their joint landings, a joint sampling scheme, or Member States may individually set up other national sampling schemes leading to the same precision.












3.


If appropriate, the national programmes may be adjusted until 1st February of each year to take into account the exchange of quotas between Member States:












4.


For stocks for which TAC’s and quotas have not been defined and which are outside the Mediterranean Sea, the same rules established under point 5(1) apply on the basis of the average landings of the previous three years and with reference to the total Community landings from a stock;












5.


For stocks in the Mediterranean Sea, the landings by weight of a Mediterranean Member State for a species corresponding to less than 10 % of the total Community landings from the Mediterranean Sea, or to less than 200 tonnes, except for Bluefin tuna.

(4)  Includes other income from use of the vessel, e.g., recreational fishing, tourism, oil rig duty, etc., also insurance payments for damage/loss of gear/vessel.

(5)  Including social security costs.

(6)  For example, the vessel owner’s own labour. Chosen methodology should be explained by the Member State in their National Programme.

(7)  Excluding lubrication oil. Broken down by type if possible (petrol, diesel, biofuel, etc.).

(8)  Gross costs of maintenance and repairs to vessel and gear.

(9)  ESA refers to European System of Accounts 1995 (EU Reg. 2223/96, EU Reg. 1267/2003. Eurostat ESA 1995 manual).

(10)  Includes all purchased inputs (goods and services) related to fishing effort and/or catch/landings.

(11)  Includes purchased inputs not related to effort and/or catch/landings (including leased equipment).

(12)  Estimated according to [the proposed PIM methodology in the capital valuation report of study No FISH/2005/03: ‘IREPA Onlus Co-ordinator, 2006. Evaluation of the capital value, investments and capital costs in the fisheries sector Study No FISH/2005/03, 203p.’]. The data and estimation procedures should be explained in the National Programme.

(13)  Value of the vessel, i.e., the hull, engine, all onboard equipment and the gear. Estimated according to [the proposed PIM methodology in the capital valuation report of study No FISH/2005/03 ‘IREPA Onlus Co-ordinator, 2006. Evaluation of the capital value, investments and capital costs in the fisheries sector Study No FISH/2005/03, 203p.’]. The data and estimation procedures should be explained in the National Programme.

(14)  Where appropriate. Methodology for estimation to be explained in the National Programme.

(15)  Improvements to existing vessel/gear during the given year.

(16)  % debt in relation to total capital value (as defined above).

(17)  Number of jobs on board, equal to the average number of persons working for and paid by the vessel. This includes temporary crew as well as rotation crew. [see report of Study FISH/2005/14, ‘LEI WAGENINGENUR Co-ordinator, 2006. Calculation of labour including full-time equivalent (FTE) in fisheries Study No FISH/2005/14, 142 p.’]

(18)  Full-time equivalent (FTE) based on the national reference level for FTE working hours of the crew members on board the vessel (excluding resting time) and the working hours onshore. If the annual working hours per crew member exceed the reference level, the FTE equals 1 per crew member. If not, the FTE equals the ratio between the hours worked and the reference level. [The methodology should be in accordance with the Study FISH/2005/14, ‘LEI WAGENINGENUR Co-ordinator, 2006. Calculation of labour including full-time equivalent (FTE) in fisheries Study No FISH/2005/14, 142 p.’ and amended by the SGECA 07-01 report (15-19 January 2007, Salerno, 21 p. +annexes) and should be explained in the national programmes.]

(19)  Full-time equivalent (FTE) based on a threshold of 2 000 hours per FTE using the same methodology referred to in note 18.

(20)  Situation at 1st of January as defined in the fleet register. Shared ownership (involving more than one person) should be regarded as one unit.

(1)  The disaggregation levels refer to appendix V (NB: the reference for metier or fishing activity is the level 6 of the Appendix IV (1-5)).

(2)  As defined in Regulation (EC) No 26/2004.

(3)  Some adjustments could be proposed by Regional Coordination Meetings.

(4)  For some variables, the disaggregation level of A is enough because 


… and


 (example: Hours fished), for others, 


… and


 (for example Fishing days, where two or more metiers can be practised during the same fishing day and accounted more than once).

(5)  If it is not possible to directly allocate landings from one trip into metiers, then this allocation should be based on rules agreed by STECF.

(6)  If possible, price data should be collected at the level A1 (see Appendix V) in order to calculate immediately the value of landings at this same level.

(1)  Enterprises should be segmented according to their main farming technique.

(2)  Hatcheries and nurseries are defined as places for the artificial breeding, hatching and rearing through the early life stages of aquatic animals. For statistical purposes, hatcheries are limited to the production of fertilised eggs. Further juveniles stages of aquatic animals are considered being produced in nurseries. When hatcheries and nurseries are closely associated, statistics shall refer only to the latest juvenile stage produced (COM(2006) 864).

(3)  Combined is defined as enterprises using hatcheries, nurseries and on growing techniques.

(4)  Cages are defined as open or covered enclosed structures constructed with net, mesh or any porous material allowing natural water interchange. These structures may be floating, suspended or fixed to the substrate but still permitting water interchange from below (COM(2006) 864).

(5)  
            ‘Bottom’ techniques cover shellfish farming in inter-tidal areas (directly on the ground or surelevated).

Appendix XIII

Definition of environmental indicators to measure the effects of fisheries on the marine ecosystem










Code specification


Indicator (1)



Definition


Data required


Precision level




1


Conservation status of fish species


Indicator of biodiversity to be used for synthesising, assessing and reporting trends in the biodiversity of vulnerable fish species


Species, length and abundance from fisheries-independent research survey(s) for relevant marine region. Accurate reporting of these indicators requires that all species that contribute to the indicator are consistently and reliably identified. Survey catches shall be fully sorted (not sub-sampled) to ensure that all individuals of every species that contributes to the indicator are recorded but sub sampling is allowed in length measurements where duly justified.


Research survey should cover largest proportion of the marine region over the longest available time period. The indicator would be survey specific. The methods require that surveys are conducted annually in the same area with a standard gear.




2


Proportion of large fish


Indicator for the proportion of large fish by weight in the assemblage, reflecting the size structure and life history composition of the fish community.




3


Mean maximum length of fishes


Indicator for the life history composition of the fish community




4


Size at maturation of exploited fish species


Indicator of the potential ‘genetic effects’ on a population


Individual measurements of age, length, sex and maturity from fisheries-independent research survey(s) for relevant marine region.


At least 100 individuals per age class but more fish will improve the power of this indicator.




5


Distribution of fishing activities


Indicator of the spatial extent of fishing activity. It would be reported in conjunction with the indicator for ‘Aggregation of fishing activity’.


Position and vessel registration data based on VMS
Available within two months of position reports being received, with all positions linked to the level 6 for the metier classification (see Appendix IV (1-5)). This does not include vessels below 15 m.


Preference for position reports every half hour.




6


Aggregation of fishing activities


Indicator of the extent to which fishing activity is aggregated. It would be reported in conjunction with the indicator for ‘Distribution of fishing activity’.




7


Areas not impacted by mobile bottom gears


Indicator of the area of seabed that has not been impacted by mobile bottom fishing gears in the last year. It responds to changes in the distribution of bottom fishing activity resulting from catch controls, effort controls or technical measures (including MPA established in support of conservation legislation) and to the development of any other human activities that displace fishing activity (e.g. wind farms).




8


Discarding rates of commercially exploited species


Indicator of the rate of discarding of commercially exploited species in relation to landings.


Species, length and abundance of catches and discards based on respectively logbooks and observer trips processed separately. Data linked to the level 6 for the metier classification (see Appendix IV (1-5)).


As specified in this Community Programme for discards




9


Fuel efficiency of fish capture


Indicator of the relationship between fuel consumption and the value of landed catch. It will provide information on trends in the fuel efficiency of different fisheries.


Value of landings and cost of fuel. Value calculated as the product of landings by species and prices. Cost of fuel as defined in this Community Programme. The indicator should be calculated for each metier based on the level 6 for the metier classification (see Appendix IV (1-5)) by region, quarter and year.


As specified in this Community Programme.
