Conscious of the fact that source and reference documents related to the concepts and definitions used in fishery statistics are widely dispersed and not always readily available, the eleventh Session of the Coordinating Working Party on Atlantic Fishery Statistics (CWP) proposed that a Handbook of Fishery statistics should be compiled in which the essential elements of these doc uments should be brought together.

Mr L. P. D. Gertenbach, shortly before he retired after many years as FAO' s Senior Fishery statistician, and as Secretary of the CWP, was commissioned to produce a draft of this Handbook. In finalising this first edition, additional material was submitted by the secretariats of the CWP Member Agencies (CCAMLR, EUROSTAT, FAO, ICCAT, ICSEAF, ICES, NAFO and OECD).

In recognition of the workload involved in producing this first edition, the CWP adopted the deliberate policy of concentrating on a single language version. English, as the working language of the CWP, was that selected. At a suitable time after the merits of this edition have been assessed, it is intended that other language versions will be produced. Until such time certain of the tables have been compiled in English, French and Spanish and it is hoped that these will provide a key by which non-English language users may be able to obtain the information they require.

The material presented in this document represents only a part of the total Handbook but it was considered useful to issue these sections which are largely self contained. The reader will occasionally find reference to sections not yet prepared. These will be issued as soon as time and resources permit.

In conceiving this Handbook of Fishery Statistics the CWP intended that it should cover the concepts, definitions and related matters as applied to fishery statistics of the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent waters by the CWP Member Agencies. Many of these principles are applied in a wider context but the user is advised to check the validity of such applications. The Handbook was developed to indicate the principles applied by the international agencies in the Atlantic. There has been no attempt to include details of national systems, many of which, having been developed for specific national purposes, differ from those used internationally. Authorities considering introducing or revising national statistical systems are requested to ensure that the system developed incorporates a high degree of compatibility with the international standards. In its efforts to develop useful and practical systems, the CWP is consistently keeping these standards under review and welcomes the comments of the national authorities on the application of these international standards at the national level.

An Expert Meeting on Fishery Statistics in the North Atlantic Area was organised by FAO and co sponsored by ICES and ICNAF in Edinburgh (Scotland) on 22-29 September 1959 and was attended by 71 participants from 14 countries and 6 inter-governmental agencies. The Expert Group undertook reviews of the requirements of users of fishery statistics and of existing discrepancies in the standards used by FAO, ICES and ICNAF. More importantly it initiated the joint task of these agencies by proposing and encouraging, for a large variety of sectors within the overall fields of national, regional and global fishery statistics, harmonisation in the following important sectors of work in fishery statistics:

- concepts and their definitions, - classification of craft, gear, species, areas, etc., - methods (including harmonised questionnaires), - simplification of reporting procedures.

The Expert Meeting concluded its report (published in 1962 as FAOFisheriesReport no 3) as follows:

(i) The Meeting invites the Governments of Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, Iceland and the United Kingdom; and ICES, ICNAF and FAO to appoint one expert each to form a continuing Working Party on Fishery Statistics in the North Atlantic Area with the power to co-opt additional members to help them in their task.

(ii) The Working Party should keep under continuous review the progress made in the implementation of the recommendations of the Meetings; consult with the officers of governments and of international organisations with respect to difficulties encountered and, keeping in mind the actual state of fishery statistical services in the different countries, make suggestions for further national and international action in its field to governments and international organisations as appropriate.

(iii) The Meeting requests the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to arrange for its Fisheries Division to function as Secretariat for the meetings of this Working Party. The Tenth Session of the FAO Conference (Rome, 31 October - 20 November 1959) approved this recommendation. Subsequently ICES and ICNAF agreed to participate and support the CWP, as the Continuing Worldng Party on Fishery Statistics in the North Atlantic Area came to be known. The Governments of Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, Iceland and the United Kingdom also agreed to provide experts to participate in the CWP.

Since that time the CWP has performed its appointed tasks, and in 1969, underwent an expansion to include a number of other international agencies and to cover the whole of the Atlantic Ocean. While maintaining the acronym "CWP" it changed its name to the "Co-ordinating Working Party on Atlantic Fishery Statistics". currently the CWP holds formal sessions at 3-4 year intervals, these sessions being attended by the representatives of the secretariats of the member agencies and of the statistical reporting offices of member countries of these agencies. This national representation is co-ordinated by the agencies to give as broad as possible a spectrum of national statistical systems and experiences. The sessions of the CWP and references to the reports of these sessions are shown in Appendix A I.

The CWP member agencies now cooperate closely and, in recent years, have organised intersessional meetings, known as Ad hoc Inter-Agency Consultations on Atlantic Fishery Statistics, of representatives of the secretariats. These meetings have had the function of reviewing progress since the last full CWP session and to.identify topics for consideration by the CWP at its next full session.

Details of the CWP member agencies are given as Appendix A II.

The CWP arrangement is, for the present, confined to the Atlantic, mainly due to the earlier establishment of fishery statistical agencies in that area. In the Pacific, developments have been rather different, but there now seem to be enough agencies concerned with fishery statistics to warrant some kind of formal arrangement for cooperation between them. FAO and SEAFDEC (the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre) have already made considerable progress towards the formation of a joint system for the collection of data from Southeast Asian countries. Closer contact is also developing between the South Pacific Commission (through its Tuna and Billfish Programme), the CPPS (Permanent Commission for the South Pacific) and FAO and also with the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission. C. TIME UNITS

The CALENDAR (or C/WL) YEAR, the period between 1 January and 31 December, is the annual time unit normally used in fishery statistics.

For certain specific purposes (e.g. for Antarctic pelagic whaling fisheries; and fiscal purposes) it is deemed more appropriate to use a SPLIT YEAR. Such situations arise when the sector under consideration exhibits appreciable activity over the end of the calendar year. The end points of the split year may be selected as desired but should be preferably at a time when activity in the sector is reduced. For Antarctic fisheries, the split year is 1 July-30 June.

In tabulations where space restricts the labelling of a split year to a single year or where data for calendar and split years are tabulated together, the practice is for the split year to be represented by the calendar year in which the split year ends. Thus a split year recorded in a statistical bulletin as 1982 refers to the split year 1981-82.

Attention is drawn to the apparent anomalies that may be observed when comparing data from two sectors of fishery statistics. For example, in highly seasonal fisheries occuring at the end of the time period, recorded data on catches may not be matched by corresponding data on landings. This is explained by the catches being made in one time period, and the landings in the following one. similar situations can arise with production and trade data. D. COUNTRIES OR AREAS INTRODUCTION

All countries or areas have official and formal designations. These are often very long and not suitable for use in statistical publications, particularly in tabulations and graphs. These designations are therefore often simplified. For example:

United Kingdom (or UK) refers to The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Comoros refers to The Islamic Federal Republic of the Comoros. The designations employed and the presentation of material in publication are used simply for practical reasons, and are usually accompanied by a note that they dp not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the publishing agency concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

Certain other terms used in statistical publications (for example, "developed" and 01 developing" economies) are based on standard UN definitions in this respect, and frequently bear no relationship to the stage of economic development, or level of catch of the country concerned. ALPHA AND DIGITAL CODES FOR COUNTRIES OR AREAS. In many tables, country or area entities are identified by alpha (or alphabetic) codes and this practice is frequently used in multilingual tables where the use of formal names, or even their common abbreviations is impossible because of space considerations. Such alpha and numeric codes have been developed by UN Statistical Office, FAO, ILO, EEC, ISO, etc. In the two annexes to this section are to be found lists of the more commonly used codes used in fishery statistics. The lists contain: A. FAO multilingual country or area code (maximum 12 characters) used for fishery statistical purposes. B. ISO 2-alpha country or area code (International Organization for Standardization). c. UN 3-digit country or area code as published in the Standard country or area codes for statistical use (Statistical Papers, Series M, no. 49, Rev. 2; United Nations, New York, 1982). Some countries or areas are broken down further into territorial components used in fishery statistics. FAO has expanded the 3-digit codes by alphabetic suffixes to identify these components.

D. Country or area names in English (maximum 24 characters)

E. Country or area names in French (maximum 24 characters)

F. country or area names in Spanish (maximum 24 characters) Eo NATIONALITY

In 1954 the United Nations Statistical Commission decided that fish catches should be assigned to the country of the flag flown by the fishing vessel. This concept was adopted by CWP (and hence its member agencies) and, as a result, any change in this concept would have serious adverse effects on the continuity of catch data. It should be noted that "flag country" generally refers to the country in which the vessel (which may be small and not physically flying a flag) is registered.

However, in recent years national authorities and international agencies have been experiencing difficulties in certain circumstances in assigning a nationality to catches. At each of its sessions since the Ninth (Dartmouth, Canada, August 1977), the CWP has reviewed the concept of the "flag state" and has identified a number of situations (not exclusive) in which difficulties in assigning a nationality might exist: (a) when a fishing vessel of the flag country transfers, either at sea or in port, the catch, or part of it, to another vessel of a different flag; (b) when a fishing vessel unloads its catch, or part of it, in a foreign port; (c) when a vessel flies a flag of convenience, Le. the country in which the vessel is registered is not the country of the nationality of its owner, or that of the enterprise operating the vessel; (d)when there is a joint venture, that is, the vessel fishes under a formal contract or agreement between two countries or people, or enterprises of two or more nationalities. Such a situation may also involve cases (a) and/or (b) above. The CWP is of the opinion that, although there are some difficulties, the flag of the fishing vessel is the best available criterion for the assignment of nationality to catch and landings data and it should continue to be so in the foreseeable future. Any changes in this concept would have serious adverse effects on the continuity of catch data. As a result of its deliberations, the CWP has revised the wording of its recommendations on nationality, maintaining the principle of the flag country, but elaborating on the recommended procedures to cover the situations arising from cases (a) to (d) above. The concept now reads:

~ that the flag of the vessel performing the essential part of the fishing operation should be considered the paramount indication of the nationality assigned to the catch, and that indication should be over-ridden only when one of the following arrangements between the foreign flag vessel and the host country exists: a) the vessel is chartered by the host country to augment its fishing fleet; and b) the vessel fishes for the country by joint venture contracts or similar agreements (as opposed to the ad-hoc practice of a vessel selling catches to a foreign vessel or landing catches in a foreign port) and the operation of such a vessel is an integral part of the economy of the host country; - that when governments negotiate joint ventures or other contracts in which vessels of one country land their catches in another country, and the above criteria are applicable, the assignment of nationality to such catch and landings data can be specified in the agreements. F. CURRENCIES AND FUNDS

The ISO, recognising that the need for a universally applicable code for the identification of currencies and funds has become increasingly urgent, has developed international standard codes for the representation of currencies and funds (ISO 4217). These codes are related to those developed by the ISO for geographical entities (ISO 3166).

In the following two annexes are to be found lists of currencies and funds:

1) sorted by the ISO 3-alpha currency identifier

2) sorted by the country common English name. G. FISHING AREAS (Basic concepts and definitions)

1. MARINE AND INLAND WATERS

It is difficult to derive adequate definitions for these terms. MARINEWATERS are frequently equated with "salt waters" and INLAND WATERS with "fresh-waters". However there are heavily saline or brackish waters (lakes, lagoons, estuaries, etc.) that are classified nationally as parts of the inland waters. Certain :maritime regions have very low salinities and might include :mainly freshwater estuaries and other areas, influenced by river outflows, as well as various brackishwater areas. The salinity of such areas may be subject to very great diurnal and seasonal variations. The CWP has therefore decided that, for the completion of STATLANT and FISHSTAT questionnaires, it is for the national authorities to decide on the boundaries between marine and inland areas appropriate to the national situation. Attention was again focused on the problem at the Fourteenth Session of the CWP in connection with the need to distinguish between catches and culture in inland waters. The CWP Secretary was requested to review the working of this arrangement, and to seek, if possible, a workable definition for general adoption.

The term "INLAND WATERS" may be used to refer to lakes, rivers, brooks, streams, ponds, inland canals, darns, and other land-locked (usually freshwater) waters (such as the Caspian Sea, Aral Sea, etc.). 2. INTERNAL WATERS Article 8 of the Informal Composite Negotiating Text/ Revision 2 (A/CONF.62/WP.10/Rev. 2, 11 April 1980) of the United Nations Third Conference on the Law of the Sea assigns a specific :meaning to the term "INTERNAL WATERS" as part of the sea. This UNCLOS article considers INTERNAL WATERS as those waters of the sea on the landward side of the baseline used by the national authorities of the coastal country to measure further seawards the width of the territorial sea and any adjacent marine waters, whether salt, brackish, or fresh in character. Such 01 internal" marine waters will be found, for instance, when the baselines are drawn across the mouths of bays or along a "curtain" of islands lying close off the coast. Japan 1 s well-known "Inland Sea" is not part of that country's inland waters but is one of the internal waters of Japan and forms part of the truly marine fishing areas of that country. To assist a uniform use of these terms, the following translations are given:

English French Spanish Inland waters Eaux continentales Aguas continentales Internal waters Eaux interieures Aguas interiores

3. AREAL GRID SYSTEMS Recognising the need for areal breakdown, the CWP has suggested that a graticulebased system could be used throughout the globe and has recommended that the quadrangles (also called rectangles or squares) be coded and identified according to the following standard rules: a) the identification of the latitude should be given before that of the longitude; b) each quadrangle (rectangle) should be identified by its graticulebased boundaries as defined by the latitude and the longitude meeting in its corner nearest to the point where the Equator is crossed by the Greenwich Meridian; c) the foregoing data on latitude and longitude should be preceded by (i) the first digit identifying the size of the quadrangle and then by (ii) a second digit indicating the quadrant of the globe in which the quadrangle is located. Figure G.l shows how this graticule coding should be achieved. Certain agencies have found the need for an areal breakdown other than that offered by the coding system; for example, for a quadrangle of 30 1 latitude by 1 degree longitude or for a finer breakdown 1 than the smallest quadrangle identified by this coding system, namely 10 x 10 1 • The CWP has therefore recommended the following standard coding procedures for areas smaller than 1 degree quadrangles: (1) where the 1 degree quadrangle is divided into two halves, each 30' latitude by 60' longitude, the one nearest to the Equator is coded number 1, and the other number 2.

1 (2) where the 1 degree quadrangle is divided into four quarters, each 30' x 30 , the numbering depends on the quadrant in order to follow the latitude/longitude hierarchical structure, e.g.:

N ~ ~

(3) the code "0 11 will be used to indicate that it is not possible to show the data at a breakdown below the 1 degree quadrangle. The structure of a code for identifying the size and location of a unit quadrangle of less than 1 degree by 1 degree could be presented as follows:

I A I B I t I f I E I

A Size code unit quadrangle of less than 1 X 1 degree (see fig. G-1)

B Quadrant code

C Latitude identifying lxl quadrangle

D Longitude identifying lxl quadrangle

E Position of the unit quadrangle of less than 1 X 1 degree within the 1 X 1 degree quadrangle

ICCAT does not use quadrangles of less than 1 X 1 degree but does use quadrangles of sizes not catered for by the codes listed in Fig. G.l. Thus, for ICCAT, the codes have been reassigned as follows:

Code Size of quadrangle

1 5° lat. x 10° long. 2 10° lat. x 20° long.

1. FAO MAJOR FISHING AREAS For statistical purposes, 27 major fishing areas have been internationally established to date. These comprise - eight major inland fishing areas covering the seven continents, - nineteen major marine fishing areas covering the waters of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans and the "southern oceans" (the Antarctic), with their respective adjacent seas.

The major fishing areas, inland and marine, are identified by their names and by two-digit codes.

01 Africa - inland waters 02 North America - inland waters 03 South America - inland waters 04 Asia - inland waters 05 Europe - inland waters 06 Oceania - inland waters 07 USSR - inland waters 08 (Antarctica - inland waters) 18 Arctic Sea 21 Northwest Atlantic 27 Northeast Atlantic 31 Western Central Atlantic 34 Eastern Central Atlantic 37 Mediterranean and Black Sea 41 Southwest Atlantic 47 Southeast Atlantic 48 Atlantic (Antarctic) 51 Western Indian Ocean 57 Eastern Indian Ocean 58 Indian Ocean (Antarctic) 61 Northwest Pacific 67 Northeast Pacific 71 Western Central Pacific 77 Eastern Central Pacific 81 Southwest Pacific 87 Southeast Pacific 88 Pacific (Antarctic)

A chart with the current demarcations of these areas is shown as Fig. H.1. [Users wishing to consult time series are referred to section H.27 for the development of these major fishing areas.]

2: REGIONAL BREAKDOWN OF MAJOR FISHING AREAS.

The internationally accepted standard practice is to divide each of the major fishing areas into: first: subareas second: divisions third: subdivisions

Such systems of subareas, divisions and subdivisions have been successfully developed and implemented by ICNAF [the predecessor of NAFO] (for major fishing area 21), by ICES (for area 27), by CECAF (for area 34), by GCFM (for area 37), by CARPAS (for area 41), by ICSEAF (for area 47, 51.8 and 58.7) and by CCAMLR (for areas 48, 58 and 88). Details of these breaJ<:downs are given in following sections of this chapter.

For a number of the major fishing areas other breakdowns have been found. However, since it is at least doubtful whether they were ever adopted by the regional agencies for the collection of fishery statistics, they have not been included in this section.

[Outside of the Atlantic and the Antarctic, the Joint Working Party of Experts on Indian Ocean and Western Pacific Fishery Statistics (JWP) has established subareas for statistical purposes through the IOFC (for areas 51 and 57) and through the IPFC (for areas 71 and 81) .]

In the Southeast Pacific, subareas and divisions for statistical purposes have been established by FAO and the CPPS. Major fishing areas for statistical purposes Principales zones de peche a des fins statistiques Figure H.1 Areas principales de pesca para fines estadisticos

Boundaries statistical subdivisions of the Northwest Atlantic, operative from January 1980 The description of subarea 5Y was modified accordingly as follows; Division 5Y That portion of the subarea lying between the coasts of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts from the border between Maine and New Brunswick to 70°00 1 west longitude on Cape Cod (at approximately 42° north latitude) and a line described as follows: beginning at a point on Cape Cod at 70° west longitude (at approximately 42° north latitude): thence due north to 42°20 1 north latitude; thence due east to 67°18' 13.15 west longitude at the boundary of subareas 4 and 5, and thence along that boundary to the boundary of Canada and the United states of America.

At its meeting in September 1986 the NAFO Scientific Council recommended that, for the collection of catch and effort statistics, the subdivision 5Ze be divided into two subunits; 5Zc (east of the Canada-USA boundary) and 5Zu (west of the Canada~USA boundary). Although this change has not been formally incorporated into the statistical areas in the NAFO Convention, catch and effort statistics are being reported to NAFO using these new subunits. Two subunits have a common boundary where the geodetic line denoting the USA~Canada boundary from 42 ° 31 9 08" north latitude 67°28 1 05" west longitude to 40°27 9 05'' north latitude 65°41 9 59" west longitude meets the parallel at 42°00' north latitude to where its extension meets the meridian at 65°40 1 west longitude.

The concept uvNOMINAL CATCHES" refers to the landings converted to a live weight basis. In fact it is often referred to as the "Live weight equivalent of the landings" or shortened to the "Live weight". In national publications the same concept is also given the name "Landings on a round, fresh basis", "Landings on a round, whole basis" or "Landings on an ex-water basis".

The concept "LANDED WEIGHT 01 refers to the mass (or weight) of a product at the time of landing, regardless of the state in which is landed. That is, the fish may be whole, or gutted or filleted. Consequently this unit is of limited use for further analysis except where it is known that the product is very homogenous in nature. Where more detailed analysis of the data is required the landed weight is generally converted to a more meaningful measure, the most frequently used being the "Nominal catch 01 (see Section J. "Conversion factors") The concept "PRODUCT WEIGHT" suffers from similar disadvantages being simply the weight of a product at the time of weighing. Thus it does not describe the presentation of the product and, unless it is known that the product is homogenous in form, further analysis has to proceed with caution. Although the NOMINAL CATCH is, at first sight, the preferred unit it does suffer from one disadvantage, namely, that it is seldom obtained as a direct measure. This is because it would usually have to be made on board a fishing vessel where the practical difficulties associated with the working conditions render it impossible. Thus it has to be derived and this is usually done by applying a conversion factor (see Section J) to the landed weight. Care should be taken when referring to the NOMINAL CATCH (the live weight equivalent of the landings) as the CATCH since in many situations the initial catch (the GROSS CATCH) has been reduced by a number of factors. These factors are best illustrated by reference to Annex I. Many national statistical publications do not use the ter1ns "catch" and "landingsn with the precise meanings as described in this section. In such publications "catches" may in fact refer to the "landings" and be expressed on a landed weight basis (that is, gutted, filleted fish). However, only where the primary production (used in the economic and not the biological sense) is landed whole is it correct to refer to such quantities as "catchesvu. J. CONVERSION FACTORS

In the context of fishery statistics the term "conversion factor" is used principally when converting the volume or mass (more commonly referred to as the "weightn) of a product at one stage in the production chain to its volume or mass at another stage in the chain. Perhaps the most common use of conversion factors is for the conversion of the landed weight of a product to its live weight equivalent (i.e. its mass, or weight, when it was removed from the water). In most situations it would be impracticable (largely because of the restraints imposed by the working conditions) to record accurately the weight of fish at the time of capture. The accuracy of measures recorded on fishing log-sheets thus depend heavily on the experience of the observer in making a visual assessment of the volume and composition of a catch (see the section on "Fishing Log Sheets"). Except on factory vessels which have facilities for processing (e.g. filleting, freezing) the catch, the first occasion on which weight of the fish may be accurately recorded is often at the time of landing, either in a port prior to auction or in a processing plant. This weight may differ significantly from the weight of the product as it was taken from the sea, due partly to the physiological changes associated with death and, often more importantly, due to processing of the catch on board the vessel (e.g. gutting, beheading, filleting).

The landed weight is more an indicator of the mass at the time of landing rather than of the mass of an identifiable product. For example, landed fish may be whole fish, fish which have been simply gutted, or gutted and headed, or filleted fish and thus the landed weight in many circumstances has to be considered as a measure of a very heterogenous group of products. Aggregation of such data for further evaluation might well produce some extraneous results. Thus it is normal, in further processing the data, to apply conversion factors to the individual products which express the mass in a more homogenous way. Perhaps the most common approach is to convert the mass to the mass of the product as it was talcen from the water (often referred to as the nominal catch or the live weight equivalent of the product (see under Section I the vvweight (or mass) uni ts"] . The establishing of conversion factors is a task which cannot be undertaken lightly and requires careful consideration of the factors likely to affect it. Taking the example of the factor converting the landed weight to the live weight equivalent, the following are among the elements which would have to be taken into consideration when undertaking such an investigation:

a) the zone of capture of the product. An experienced eye can often identify the zone of capture from the physical characteristics of the fish (e.g. ratio of the length to the depth of the body) and these differences may well affect the conversion factor. b) the size of the product. As a fish grows the proportion of skeletal material to flesh may well change, such a change could well affect the conversion factor. c) the season of capture. Certain species in certain waters are subject to significant changes in physical characteristics in different seasons of the year (e.g. due to state of maturity and fat content) which may affect the resulting conversion factor. d) the extent and method of processing on board the fishing vessels. There could be considerable differences in the method of presentation of a nominally identical product at the time of landing. For example, machine gutting, heading and filleting could result in very different products (in terms of the proportion of the product removed) compared with hand processing.

It is obvious from the above that a "simple" conversion factor should be the result of a lengthy, thorough, and thus regrettably expensive investigation. It is not surprising that, once a factor has been established, in many situations it is not revised on a regular basis. It is known that many factors employed by national authorities have been in use for 20 years or more without any attempt to revise them and, while there is no evidence to suggest that these factors are no longer applicable, the CWP has expressed the view that national authorities should regularly review the factors that are in use. The accuracy of such factors is important because most subsequent analyses of the landings (e.g. for stock assessment and management) and the resultant stoc]c management measures, require that the quantities are expressed in a uniform unit, the live weight equivalent.

The CWP has requested FAO to maintain records of the conversion factors used by the national authorities and accordingly FAO has introduced a questionnaire (FISHSTAT CFl: see Section B "STATLANT system of questionnaires") on which the national authorities are requested to indicate the appropriate conversion factors. This is not an annual questionnaire but is distributed on rotation every three~four years. However, FAO requests national authorities that introduce significantly different conversion factors in the intervening period to submit them to FAO. These conversion factors are the subject of an occasional publication from FAO (for

example, Quantity conversion factors: Atlantic fish species m landed or product weight to live weiqht, FAO Fisheries Circular No. 725, 1980)

Caution is advised when studying the conversion factors used by the different national authorities. While most countries use conversion factors for an identified products that are in reasonable agreement (±10%) there are instances where the differences are significantly greater. However, it would be dangerous to suggest automatically that a factor was unrealistic. Experience has shown that these factors can be justified frequently, because the brief descriptor of the product hides significant differences in the presentation of the product.

The above notes have referred largely to factors to convert the landed weight to the live weight equivalent of the catches. However conversion factors may be used for other purposes. An example of this is in supply balance sheets (see Section M). An end product of balance sheets is the per capita consumption of the· product and by the judicial use of conversion factors it is possible to express this in various ways. It is often useful to compare the input of fish to the diet and compare it with the input from "rival" protein foods such as meat and eggs. In this case a conversion factor would be applied to the product weight (or other unit in which the balance sheet had been calculated) to produce a figure for the consumption in, for example, grammes/day of protein. (A fuller discussion of this point is included in Section M) K. IDENTIFIERS FOR AQUATIC ANIMALS AND PLANTS

For statistical purposes, nominal catches of aquatic animals and plants, taken in inland and marine waters, for all kinds of commercial, industrial and subsistence purposes, are broken down at either species, genus or family level into approximately 1300 'species items'. In the "International Standard Statistical Classification of Aquatic Animals and Plants" (ISSCAAP), developed by FAO, these species are classified in 50 groups of species and 9 divisions.

Each species item is identified by means of the following descriptors: a) FAO English name b) FAO French name c) FAO Spanish name d) Scientific name e) Inter-Agency 3-alpha identifier. The FAO English, French, Spanish and scientific names are kept under constant review by the CWP. Its member agencies have agreed to use these standard species names in statistical publications and on STATLANT questionnaires. It should be noted that it has not been possible to assign appropriate names in all three languages to all the species items and that these names may not correspond with nati~nally-us·ed common names. The names selected are considered to be appropriate to that species item and are unique to that item. Where the species item refers to a single species the name is in the singular. Where two or more species may be present, the name is in the plural form.

The 9 Inter-Agency 3-Alpha Identifier' for aquatic animals and plants was developed by the CWP for tabulations, questionnaires and publications where space may prevent the use of adequate descriptors in all the languages required. Once an identifier has been assigned to a species item it is not changed and thus, unlike the other identifiers mentioned above, it is a permanent reference to a species item. In principle, these identifiers are only issued for species of commercial significance. FAO is the depository agency for these 3-alpha identifiers and it is to this agency that requests for further information on the identifiers and requests for the allocation of an identifier should be addressed. The CWP is willing for these identifiers to be used wherever an authority, n~tional, international or other, considers them to be of use. However, in order not to jeopardise the integrity of a system of identifiers that are proving to be of great use, the CWP does request that all potential users consult FAO, and in any case, never use an identifier that is not in the current list without the prior approval of FAO.

On the following pages will be found:

1) a list of species items (with English and scientific names) arranged in alphabetical order of the 3~alpha identifier.

2) a list of species items (with English and scientific names and 3~alpha identifier) arranged in alphabetical order of English name.

3) a list of the 9 divisions and 51 groups of species as found in the International standard Statistical Classification of Aquatic ·Animals and Plants (ISSCAAP).

4) a taxonomic key to ISSCAAP. (Families arranged alphabetically by the 9 divisions). N. FISHERMEN STATISTICS statistics on the number of fishermen have been very largely neglected in the efforts to establish harmonised statistics at the international level. This is almost certainly due to the fact that, generally speaking, until about 10 years ago there was little effort at the international level to control the structure of the fishing fleets and thus a knowledge of the number of fishermen likely to be affected by structural measures was not required. Structural measures that were applied nationally and the countries applying them adopted definitions for employment in the sector that suited their national purposes. OECD recently conducted a survey of its member countries to determine the possibility of harmonising fishermen statistics but discovered that there was a variety of definitions used, and that unless there was a stimulus from the need to apply internationally administrative measures to regulate employment in the fishing industry, there was little chance of obtaining harmonised fishermen statistics. As a result the CWP has not laid down firm guidelines as to the definitions to apply to the work force in the fishing industry. However the subject of fishermen statistics has been discussed by the CWP, and while it did not lay down firm guidelines, it did reach a wide degree of agreement on the definitions that would be appropriate should guidelines b_e fixed. These definitions are:

Full-time fishermen receive at least 90% of their livelihood from fishing or spend at least 90% of their working time in that occupation.

Part-time fishermen receive at least 30% but less than 90% of their livelihood from fishing or spend at least 30% but less than 90% of their working time in that occupation.

Occasionalfishermen receive under 30% of their livelihood from fishing, or spend under 30% of their working time in that occupation. The CWP rioted a number of problems in identifying and enumerating separately "fishermen" as primary producers among the economically active population. These problems arise largely from the seasonal availability of the various fishery resources compounded by the seasonal availability of more lucrative occupations. In many countries the number of people whose only source of income is from a year-round activity in fishing is small compared with the number of people entering the industry at peaks of activity in that industry, or slack periods in a more lucrative industry. For example, fishing is often of major importance in "under-developed" regions where the other major industry may be tourism. The fishing "season" may be adapted so that it does not coincide with the peak tourist period from which earnings might well be higher. Another problem is associated with subsistence fishing which is undertaken on a full time, part-time, or occasional basis in many developed or developing cornmunities as part of the occupation of the economically-active populations. However, people who are too young, too old to be normally included in the economically active population may be involved in subsistence fishing. These issues are further complicated where subsistence fishing merges with recreational fishing. For example, sports fishermen and people owning and operating pleasure craft might try to offset their capital and running costs through the sale of fish caught during trips of such recreational craft. In concluding its discussions on this subject the CWP, while not issuing any firm guidelines,· did reach conclusions as to the coverage of· the u•fishing population" that it would wish to see included in statistics of the industry. This coverage is as follows: 1) All commercial, industrial and subsistence fishermen and fisherwomen, operating in freshwater, brackish water, and marine waters in economically inspired efforts to catch and land any of the great variety of aquatic animals and plants should be included. People working on fish farms, hatcheries, and employed in shell fish culture operations should also be included. . The terms "fisherman°1 and "fisherwoman" should include not only those operating from fishing vessels of all types, but also those operating land-based fishing gears and installations from the banks of rivers, lakes, canals, dams etc., and from beaches and shores which do not require the use of auxilliary boats. Where possible a breakdown by the type of activity should be included. 2) The crews on fish factory ships, mother ships to fishing fleets, and on auxilliary craft such as, fish carriers, and fish transport craft should be included. 3) The data collected nationally should include nationals, and others employed on nationally registered vessels landing their catches in foreign ports. 4) Foreign fishermen working on foreign vessels landing in national ports should be excluded from the data. However the data should show, preferably separately, the national fishermen worJcing on foreign vessels chartered to national companies.

5) Fishermen on whaling vessels should be recorded separately.

6) The crews of state-operated fishery patrol vessels, fishery protection vessels, hospital ships, etc. should be excluded from' the fishermen statistics. It was recognised that, while the above would greatly improve the current situation regarding fishermen data, there were a number of points which, while of relatively minor importance in terms of the number of people involved, still had to be resolved. For example, while a spotter on the bridge, or on the mast of a fishing vessel would probably be included in the fishing population, it was not so certain that a spotter in an aeroplane or helicopter scouting for. a fleet would. It is hoped that the above notes, while not laying down firm guidelines for fishermen statistics, will assist national offices wishing to establish, or modify national systems and that, as a result, the statistics will become better harmonised at the international level.
