3. FIRMS Fishery inventory
FISHERY: “A Fishery is an activity leading to the harvesting of fish, within the boundaries of a defined area. The fishery concept fundamentally gathers indication of human fishing activity, including from economic, management, biological/environmental and technological viewpoints (FIRMS 2006, modified from FAO glossary of fisheries)”. A statistical fishing unit is a particular type of fishing activity, conducted by a single flag country using a vessel and its major fishing gear.
Key data for fishery unit identification:
Species (target and bycatch)
Fishing area
Gear
Flag state
Management entities
