Objectives
- Provide more accurate and timelier information on catches, effort, landings, discards and quota uptake.
- Effort
- General success in predicting fishing behaviour using 15 minute GPS data
- Ecosystem approach: temporal and spatial distribution of fisheries effort
- Useful to cross-check “fishing behaviour” against ERS E-logbook information
- “Effort while fishing” measure can lead to more precise effort management regimes
- Catches and Discards
- Success when using fishery specific approaches (ISL, GRL, English roundfish)
- Landings and quota uptake
- Cross-checking tool developed for Greenland: VMS / hail messages / landings
- Catch & landings prediction from VMS for Icelandic Redfish
- Generally, recommend use of ERS E-Logbook
- Effort
- Assess the benefits of this information for fisheries management
- Simulation studies by CEFAS confirm value of near-real-time information
- Presentation given at ICES, Profet Policy Workshop, Copenhagen 24/06/2008.
