fishing net

(a) States should ensure that data are collected from vessels flying their flag on fishing activities according to the operational characteristics of each fishing method (e.g., each individual tow for trawl, each set for long-line and purse-seine, each school fished for pole-and-line and each day fished for troll) and in sufficient detail to facilitate effective stock assessment;

nets, lines or pots are in the water;

All fishing vessels using one or more drift-nets intended for the capture of species listed in Annex VIII shall operate under the following conditions:

Whereas Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 prohibits the use of any device by means of which the mesh in any part of a fishing net is obstructed or otherwise effectively diminished;

The master of a fishing vessel using one or more drift-nets referred to in paragraph 1 shall keep a logbook in which he must record the following information on a day-to-day basis:

In 1998, the maximum number of vessels which may be authorised by a Member State to keep on board, or use for fishing, one or more drift-nets shall not exceed 60 % of the fishing vessels which used one or more drift-nets during the period 1995 to 1997.

no Community fishing vessel participating in particular fisheries may carry nets of different minimum mesh sizes during a single fishing trip;

Member States shall act to ensure that bluefin tuna fattening farms under their jurisdiction submit a caging declaration as referred to in Annex 1a to their competent authority 72 hours after the end of each caging operation by a fishing or transport vessel.

These arrangements shall, in particular, take into account that capacity, other than that of vessels of less than 12 metres overall length excluding trawlers, which has been withdrawn with public aid, cannot be replaced.

the wooden fences along the stone house fronts serve for drying and colouring nets. Against them rest sewing-benches designed with incredible imagination. Like the stone blocks, these also serve as a place to sit and swap fisherman's gossip.

All catches which have been retained on board any Community fishing vessel shall comply with the species composition laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 of 7 October 1986 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources for the net carried on board that vessel.

If catches which have been retained on board any Community fishing vessel have been taken with nets with different minimum mesh sizes during the same voyage, the species composition shall be calculated for each part of the catch which has been taken under different conditions.

Community fishing vessels participating in the exploratory fishery for Dissostichus spp. using the trawl or longline methods in the Convention area, except for such fisheries where the CCAMLR has given specific exemptions, shall operate in accordance with the rules set out in paragraphs 3 to 6.

The capacity of vessels, except vessels less than 12 metres overall length other than trawlers which may be replaced without public aid, that are subject to a measure to stop fishing activities permanently within the meaning of paragraph 2 and 3 may under no circumstances be replaced.

Community fishing vessels shall transmit to the competent authorities of the Member State whose flag they fly, for each fishing season, by the 15th day of the month following that in which fishing takes place, fine-scale catch and effort data for the month concerned, concerning, as appropriate, trawling, longlining or pot fishing, for the following species and areas:

The first subparagraph of Article 6(2) shall be replaced by the following: "In the case of vessels already registered in the Fishing Vessel Register of the Community of less than 12 metres overall, other than trawlers, Member States may submit a request for a clearly identified and quantified increase in the capacity objectives to improve safety, navigation at sea, hygiene, product quality and working conditions, provided that these measures do not result in an increase in the exploitation rate of the resources concerned."

The catch taken with any demersal towed net of mesh size range 110 to 119 mm and retained on board any fishing vessel shall consist of:

a reception area set aside for taking fishery products on board, designed and arranged into pounds or pens that are large enough to allow each successive catch to be separated.

Additionally, a company producing both fishing nets and stainless steel wire would manage financial resources and their accounting separately.

The soaking time of the nets shall not exceed 48 hours counting from the time the nets are first put in the water to the time when the nets are fully recovered on board the fishing vessel.

up to six nautical miles from the coast in the case of surface longliners, pole-and-line tuna vessels and freezer trawlers,

However, during 2002, the catch taken with any demersal towed net of mesh size range 110 to 119 mm and retained on board any fishing vessel may consist of:

All fishing vessels using one or more drift-nets referred to in paragraph 1 shall keep on board the prior authorisation to fish issued by the competent authorities of the flag Member State.

all towed nets other than beam trawls of mesh size range 55 to 99 mm shall be lashed and stowed in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 20(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 1 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy C).
