 Vessel length The most frequently used and preferred measure of the length of a fishing vessel is length overall (LOA) which refers to the maximum length of a vessel from the two points on the hull most distant from each other,... More
 Other measures of the length of vessels are: Waterline length (LWL) which refers to the length of the designed waterline of the vessel. This measure is used in determining certain properties of a vessel for example, the water displacement; Length... More
 Vessel classification For statistical purposes three main classifications were adopted by the CWP for classifying fishery vessels by tonnage, type and length: The International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishery Vessels by GRT Categories (FAO, 2021b), based on the Gross Registered Tonnage...

 Data collection Data on fishery fleet are collected by means of the statistical questionnaire FISHSTAT FF. Form FF1 is used for the collection of data on decked vessels, whereas form FF2 is intended for undecked vessels for which the most important... More

 Fishery production core variables The core variables identified for capture fisheries are restricted to only two items as they are the most widely available. The core variables to be collected are: Gross value of landings Employment More
 Gross value of landings The gross value of the landings is normally collected together with landing statistics (e.g. from fish auctions or from sales slips). In order to establish the link to the catch statistics (refer catch and landings) these data... More
 Employment Employment in fisheries should be collected in sex-disaggregated form. A further note should be made that the term fisher (refer also ILO-2012) should not only include those operating from fishing vessels but also those fishers operating land-based fishing gears... More
 Fishery production additional variables The additional variables allow for the calculation of total revenue and total costs for the fishing operations. This allows derivation of the economic profitability of the fishing sector which is judged from information on the net revenue... More
 Total revenue Total revenue is composed of several variables. Gross value of landings - part of the core variables (see description above). Revenue from leasing out quota or other fishing rights where individual transferable quotas (ITQ) or similar systems have established... More
