CHAPTER I1 Definitions
For the purpose of this Annex, definitions in Regulation (EU) 2017/10042, Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/20093, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 404/20114, and Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council5 shall apply. In addition, the following definitions shall also apply: (1) active vessels: vessels that have been engaged in any fishing operation (one day or more) during a calendar year. A vessel that has not been engaged in fishing operations during a year is considered "inactive". (2) anadromous species: living aquatic resources with lifecycle starting by hatching in freshwater, migrating to saltwater, returning and finally spawning in freshwater. (3) catadromous species: living aquatic resources with lifecycle starting by hatching in saltwater, migrating to freshwater, returning and finally spawning in saltwater. (4) catch fraction: a part of the total catch, such as the part of the catch landed above the minimum conservation reference size, the part landed below the minimum conservation reference size, the part discarded below the minimum conservation reference size, de minimis discards or discards. (5) days at sea: any continuous period of 24 hours (or part thereof) during which a vessel is present within an area and absent from port. (6) fishing days: any calendar day at sea in which a fishing operation takes place, without prejudice to the international obligations of the Union and its Member States. One fishing trip can contribute to both the sum of the fishing days for passive gears and the sum of the fishing days for active gears on that trip. (7) fishing ground: (group of) geographical units where fishing takes place. These units shall be agreed at marine region level on the basis of existing areas defined by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations or scientific bodies. (8) fleet segment: group of vessels with the same length class (LOA, length overall) and predominant fishing gear during the year.

EN 2 EN
1.2. The data to be collected shall be established in accordance with Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 taking into account the thresholds set out in Chapter II of the Annex of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) C(2019)1001 establishing the list of mandatory surveys and thresholds for the purposes of the multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. 1.3. Data shall be collected to enable valid estimates to be derived for the type of fisheries, temporal periods and areas based on end-user needs agreed at marine region level. The frequency of data collection is to be coordinated at marine region level, unless stated otherwise in this Annex and corresponding tables. 2. Biological data on stocks caught by Union commercial fisheries in Union and outside Union waters and by recreational fisheries in Union waters. Such data shall consist of the following: (a) Catch quantities by species and biological data from individual specimens enabling the estimation of: (i) For commercial fisheries, volume and length frequency of all catch fractions (including discards and unwanted catches) for the stocks listed in Tables 1A, 1B and 1C, reported at the aggregation level 6 as set out in Table 2. The temporal resolution shall be coordinated at marine region level based on end-user needs; (ii) For commercial fisheries, mean-weight and age distribution of catches of the stocks listed in Table 1A, 1B and 1C. The selection of stocks from which these variables have to be collected and the temporal resolution shall be coordinated at marine region level based on end-user needs; (iii) For commercial fisheries, sex-ratio, maturity and fecundity data for stocks listed in Tables 1A, 1B and 1C of catches at frequencies needed for scientific advice. The selection of stocks from which these variables have to be collected and the temporal resolution shall be coordinated at marine region level based on end-user needs; (iv) For recreational fisheries, annual volume (numbers and weights or length) of catches and releases for the species listed in Table 3 and/or the species identified at marine region level as needed for fisheries management purposes End user needs for age or other biological data as specified in paragraphs (i) – (iii) shall be evaluated for recreational fisheries at marine region level. (b) In addition to data collected under point (a), data on anadromous and catadromous species listed in Table 1E caught by commercial fisheries during the freshwater part of their lifecycle, irrespective of the way these fisheries are undertaken, as follows: (i) stock-related variables (for individual specimens, on age, length, weight, sex, maturity and fecundity, by life stage, but further specified on a species and regional basis), and (ii) annual catch quantities by age class or life stage. (c) In addition: as regards eel, information (e.g. data, estimates, relative trends, etc.) collected annually in at least one river basin per eel management unit on : (i) the abundance of recruits, (ii) the abundance of the standing stock (yellow eel), and (iii) the number or weight and sex ratio of emigrating silver eels,
EN 3 EN
and as regards all wild salmon: information collected annually – unless agreed otherwise at regional level - on the abundance of smolt and parr and number of ascending individuals. The designation of rivers to be monitored for eel and salmon shall be defined at regional level. The selection of stocks from which these variables have to be collected shall be coordinated at regional level based on end-user needs. 3. Data to assess the impact of Union fisheries on marine ecosystems in Union waters and outside Union waters Such data shall consist of the following: (a) For all types of fisheries, incidental by-catch of all birds, mammals and reptiles and fish protected under Union legislation and international agreements, including the species listed in Table 1D, including absence in the catch, during scientific observer trips on fishing ships or by the fishers themselves through logbooks. Where data collected during observer trips are not considered to provide sufficient data on incidental by-catch for enduser needs, other methodologies, shall be implemented by Member States. The selection of these methodologies shall be coordinated at marine region level and be based on end-user needs. (b) Data to assist in the assessment of the impact of fisheries in Union waters and outside Union waters on marine habitats. The variables used for assessing the impact of fisheries on marine habitat shall be those recorded under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Data shall be disagregated at fishing activity level 311, unless a lower level of aggregation is required at regional level, in particular in the case of marine protected areas. When data recorded under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 are not at the correct resolution or are not of sufficient quality or coverage for the intended scientific use, they shall be collected in an alternative way by using appropriate sampling methods. Data as recorded under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 are to be made available at the appropriate level of aggregation to the National Institutions implementing the workplans. (c) Data for estimating the level of fishing and the impact of fishing activities on marine biological resources and on marine ecosystems, such as effects on non-commercial species, predator-prey relationships and natural mortality of fish species in each marine region. Such data shall be first assessed within pilot studies. Based on the outcomes of these pilot studies, Member States shall determine future data collection specific for each marine region, coordinated at marine region level and based on end-user needs.
4. Detailed data on the activity of Union fishing vessels12 in Union waters and outside Union waters as recorded under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Data to assess the activity of Union fishing vessels in Union waters and outside Union waters consist of the variables as indicated in Table 4. Data as recorded, reported and transmitted under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 are to be made available in the form of primary data to the national institutions implementing the workplans. When these data are not to be collected under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 or when data collected under Regulation (EC) No
11 See Table 2 12 Including specific requirements for RFMOs such as specified in Regulation (EU)1343/2011
EN 4 EN
1224/2009 are not at the correct resolution or are not of sufficient quality or coverage for the intended scientific use, they shall be collected in an alternative way by using appropriate sampling methods. These methods shall allow for the estimation of variables listed in Table 4 at the lowest relevant geographic level by fleet segment (Table 5a) and metier level 6 (Table 2). 5. Social and economic data on fisheries to enable the assessment of the social and economic performance of the Union fisheries sector. Such data shall consist of the following:
(a) Economic variables as indicated in Table 5A according to the sector segmentation of Table 5B and according to the supraregions as defined in Table 5C. The population shall be all active and inactive vessels registered in the Union Fishing Fleet Register as defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 26/200413 on December 31st of the reporting year and vessels that do not appear on the Register at that date but have fished at least one day during the reporting year For inactive vessels only capital value and capital cost shall be collected. In cases where there is a risk of natural persons and/or legal entities being identified clustering may be applied to report economic variables in order to ensure statistical confidentiality. Clustering may also be used if necessary to design a statistically sound sampling plan. Such clustering scheme shall be consistent over time. Economic data shall be collected on an annual basis. (b) Social variables as indicated in Table 6. Social data shall be collected every three years starting in 2018. Data on employment by education level and employment by nationality may be collected on the basis of pilot studies. 6.

Multispecie s Seaweeds
Other aquatic organismsFootnotes: 1. Enterprises shall be segmented according to their main farming technique. 2. Hatcheries and nurseries are defined as places for the artificial breeding, hatching and rearing through the early life stages of aquatic animals. For statistical purposes, hatcheries are limited to the production of fertilised eggs. Further juveniles stages of aquatic animals are considered being produced in nurseries. When hatcheries and nurseries are closely associated, statistics shall refer only to the latest juvenile stage produced. (COM (2006) 864 of 19 July 2007) 3. “On-bottom” techniques cover shellfish farming in inter-tidal areas (directly on the ground or surelevated) 4. Recirculation systems means systems where the water is reused after some form of treatment (e.g. filtering). 5. Enclosures and pens are defined as areas of water confined by nets, mesh and other barriers allowing uncontrolled water interchange and distinguished by the fact that enclosures occupy the full water column between substrate and surface; pens and enclosures generally enclose a relatively large volume of water. (COM (2006) 864 of 19 July 2007) 6. Cages are defined as open or covered enclosed structures constructed with net, mesh or any porous material allowing natural water interchange. These structures may be floating, suspended or fixed to the substrate but still permitting water interchange from below. (COM (2006) 864 of 19 July 2007).
