Crustaceans and Demersal, Large Pelagic and Small Pelagic Fish (Operational Data)

Operational data provides operational information of sampled fishing vessels that contains specifications of vessel, engine and fishing gears, and operational inputs. The variables of these data are: organization/project; ID trip; surveyor; landing site/collector; fishing ground (fisheries management area/WPP); sampling time; time; commodity; vessel name/owner; mark; vessel owner; captain name; departure; arrival; origin port; crew (individual); vessel length; vessel weight; main engine; second engine; vessel material; light power; vessel space (unit); box total (unit); space/box capacity; auxiliary vessel; auxiliary vessel; size; freezer; freezer capacity; GPS use ; GPS type; andon (mobile fishing from other provinces) vessel; andon vessel provenance; fishing gear; fishing gear specifications; value; unit; material; tools operated (unit); fishing areas; setting total; ice block total; water depth (start); water depth (real); number of days per trip; number of days per catch; FAD use; FAD visited; FAD succeeded; fishing time; soaking (hour); comment; resources; total catch for consume in volume (Kg); total catch for consume in units (Ind); total catch in volume (Kg); total catch in units (Ind); local name; common name; species name; FAO; haul (Kg); units (Ind); storage method (fresh); storage method (frozen); storage method (salted); storage method (loin); storage method (boiled).

The operational data can be used to estimate catch per unit effort (CPUE) of the fisheries and socioeconomics of the fisheries including associated cost.
