Member State's name shall be given as ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code, e.g. ‘DEU’.




MS participating in sampling


If the sampled activity has been carried out according to a regionally coordinated programme, all participating Member States shall be listed. Otherwise, the Member State responsible for the sampling shall be listed. Links to planned regional and international coordination or bi- and multilateral agreements, where available, shall be listed in the ‘Comments’.




Region


Member State shall refer to the naming convention used in Table 5(C) of the multiannual Union programme (level II). If information refers to all regions, insert ‘all regions’.




RFMO/RFO/IO


Member State shall enter the acronym of the competent regional fisheries management organisation (RFMO), regional fisheries organisation (RFO) or international organisation (IO) for providing management/advice on the species/stock.
e.g. RFMO: ICCAT, GFCM, NAFO
e.g. RFO: CECAF
e.g. IO: ICES
If no RFMO, RFO or IO is applicable, ‘NA’ (not applicable) is used.




Sub-area/Fishing ground


Member State shall indicate the fishing ground (e.g. the ICES area, the GFCM GSA, the NAFO area, etc.).




Scheme


Member State shall state the sampling scheme: ‘at markets’, ‘at sea’, a combination of both methods or ‘other’. If ‘other’ is used (e.g. ‘other (Market stock-specific sampling)’), it shall be described in Text Box 4A of this Annex.




Stratum ID code


Member State shall indicate a unique code to identify each stratum within the scheme. Free text or coding can be used, but it shall always coincide with the ‘stratum ID code’, as in Table 4B of this Annex. Strata with no coverage (i.e. no planned number of PSUs) shall also be detailed, in order to provide measurement on coverage of the sampling plan.




PSU type


Member State shall indicate the primary sampling unit (PSU) inside each stratum. PSU could be fishing trip, fishing vessel, port, fishing day, etc.




Catch fractions covered


Member State shall indicate which fraction of the catch is to be sampled. Insert ‘Catch’, if the bulk catch is sampled, ‘Landings’, ‘Discards’, ‘Landings+Discards’, etc.




Species/Stocks covered for estimation of volume and length of catch fractions


Member State shall indicate if the sampling plan covers all or only a part of the species. Insert ‘all species and stocks’, ‘only stocks in Table 1A, 1B and 1C’, ‘selected species/stocks’ and specify further in ‘Comments’.




Seasonality (Temporal strata)


Member State shall provide a keyword description of the sampling scheme in terms of temporal stratification: ‘monthly’, ‘quarterly’, ‘annual’, etc.




Reference years


Member State shall indicate the year(s) used as a reference for the expected primary sampling units in the year of implementation of the sampling scheme. Member State shall use the three most recent years (e.g. ‘2014-2016’). Reasons may be given to justify the use of a different period.




Average number of PSUs during the reference years


Member State shall indicate the total number of PSUs calculated as the average values of the years used as reference.




Planned number of PSUs


Member State shall state the planned number of PSU to be sampled.
