The "Fishing trips" data in the declarative flow correspond to the catch and fishing effort data declared by the professionals in the logbooks for vessels whose overall length is greater than or equal to 10 metres, and the fishing sheets for vessels whose overall length is less than 10 metres.

The "Sales" data in the declarative flow contain mainly auction sales data and some non-exhaustive data on non-auction sales.

ICES database of trawl surveys

The dataset includes age- and length-based catch per unit effort data for commercial fish species collected by the French trawl survey EVHOE.

The gear repository of the Fisheries Information System includes, on the one hand, the FAO fishing gears enriched with national specificities and, on the other hand, the sampling gears used during the fisheries surveys conducted by Ifremer and its partners.

The observation of catches at sea, whether landed or discarded by professional fishing vessels, provides a better understanding of the interactions between fishing activity, resources and marine ecosystems. This system, called ObsMer, is applied in metropolitan France, excluding Corsica.
