Lineage
Due to European Union COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1224/2009 the requirement for Commercial Fishing Vessels to have an operational VMS terminal increased (from over 15m vessels) to include vessels of 12m and over from 1 January 2012. The roll out of the VMS terminals to the English Fleet began in 2013 and is still ongoing as of January 2014. Data on fishing activity is taken from the IFISH data system. This is a UK repository of key elements of the administrative data commercial fishermen are required to report under EU legislation to enable competent authorities to monitor and manage their activity. There are three key sources of data � the logbook of activity while at sea, the landing declaration recording the accurate weight of fish when landed, and sales notes created when the fish are first sold after landing. The first two of these are required from all fishermen operating vessels over 10 metres overall length, the sales notes information is required for sales by all licensed vessels irrespective of length. The data includes the species, weight and value of fish landed along with details of the vessel involved, where the fish was caught, and with what gear. These data are collected by the four fisheries administrations within the UK, checked and validated processes and collated into the IFISH repository holding full UK data on licensed commercial fishing activity.
