CATCHES

Catch

catch by species

fishing effort and catches of species referred to in Article 1 for the previous year;

The catch of all research hauls shall be sampled by the international scientific observer on board.

Catches of an amount greater than 50 kg of live-weight equivalent of any species retained on board must be recorded in the logbook.

Catch (metric tonnes)

Catches by national vessels:

Catch (in metric tonnes) or effort unit

The catch is to be recorded in the live weight equivalent of the landings.

the catch on board shall be unloaded and confiscated on behalf of the Treasury,

The catches of Community vessels shall be transhipped within Mauritanian ports.

Catches by vessels of other Member States (specify the tonnage, broken down by Member State).

Catches of shrimp shall not be used in the calculation of by-catch level of groundfish species.

catches from game and recreational fisheries for stocks other than those mentioned in Appendix XI,

Catches taken within this quota are to be deducted from Norway's share of the TAC.

catches from recreational and game fisheries in marine waters for stocks mentioned in Appendix XI,

It may be processed, stored under customs control, sold in Mauritania or exported (in foreign currency).

The catches by vessels from the new Member States between 1 January 2004 and the date of accession shall be counted against the quotas laid down in Annex I.

Quantities caught and retained on board Catches of an amount greater than 50 kg of live-weight equivalent of any species retained on board must be recorded in the logbook.

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:

capture by a vessel with a view to landing, transhipment or placing in a cage or by a producer using a tuna trap net, of any fish belonging to one of the species listed in Article 1;

The catch taken with any demersal towed net of mesh size range 100 to 109 mm and retained on board any fishing vessel in ICES Sub-area VI and/or ICES Division Vb shall consist of:

The catch taken with any demersal towed net of mesh size range 70 to 79 mm and retained on board in ICES Sub-area VI and/or ICES Division Vb shall consist of at least 30 % of Norway lobsters and no more than 5 % of cod.

The catch taken with any demersal towed net of mesh size range 80 to 109 mm and retained on board in ICES Division IIa or that part of ICES Sub-area IV to the north of straight lines sequentially joining the following geographical coordinates:

` Whale catcher` means a ship used for the purpose of hunting, taking, towing, holding on to, or scouting for whales;

No bonus or other remuneration shall be paid to the gunners or crews of whale catchers in respect to the taking at milk-filled or lactating whales.

d. ` Sack-up` means that part of the fishing process when the catch is concentrated near the surface for loading aboard the vessel.

(b) total catch in number, nominal weight, or both, by species (both target and non-target) as is appropriate to each fishery.

'whale catcher' means a helicopter, or other aircraft, or a ship, used for the purpose of hunting, taking, killing, towing, holding on to, or scouting for whales.`

(b) scientific observer programmes to monitor catch, effort, catch composition (target and non-target) andother details of fishing operations;

A port State may, inter alia, inspect documents, fishing gear and catch on board fishing vessels, when such vessels are voluntarily in its ports or at its offshore terminals.

(a) composition of the catch according to length, weight and sex;

Committed to ensure the sustainability of tuna stocks in the eastern Pacific Ocean and to progressively reduce the incidental dolphin mortalities in the tuna fishery of the eastern Pacific Ocean to levels approaching zero; to avoid, reduce and minimize the incidental catch and the discard of juvenile tuna and the incidental catch of non-target species, taking into consideration the interrelationship among species in the ecosystem;

(d) If it should appear that the maximum catch of whales permitted by subparagraph (a) of this paragraph may be reached before April 1 of any year, the Commission, or such other body as the Commission may designate, shall determine, on the basis of the data provided, the date on which the maximum catch of whales shall be deemed to have been reached and shall notify each Contracting Government of the date not less than two weeks in advance thereof.

(a) time series of catch and effort statistics by fishery and fleet;

Aware that the conservation status of cetaceans can be adversely affected by factors such as degradation and disturbance of their habitats, pollution, reduction of food resources, use and abandonment of non-selective fishing gear, and by deliberate and incidental catches;

(j) collect and share, in a timely manner, complete and accurate data concerning fishng activities on, inter alia, vessel position, catch of target and non-target species and fishing effort, as set out in Annex I, as well as information from national and international research programmes;

States may adopt regulations empowering the relevant national authorities to prohibit landings and transhipments where it has been established that the catch has been taken in a manner which undermines the effectiveness of subregional, regional or global conservation and management measures on the high seas.

The taking of whales for delivery to a factory ship shall be so regulated or restricted by the master or person in charge of the factory ship that no whale carcass (except of a whale used as a fender) shall remain in the sea for a longer period than thirty-three hours from the time of killing to the time when it is taken up on to the deck of the factory ship for treatment.

(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;

regulating the amount of total catch and fishing effort and their allocation among Members,

(b) failing to maintain accurate records of catch and catch-related data, as required by the relevant subregional or regional fisheries management organisation or arrangement, or serious misreporting of catch, contrary to the catch reporting requirements of such organisation or arrangement;

All whale catchers engaged in taking whales must report by radio to the factory ship the time when each whale is caught.

Gunners and crews of factory ships, land stations, and whale catchers shall be engaged on such terms that their remuneration shall depend to a considerable extent upon such factors as the species, size, and yield at whales taken, and not merely upon the number of the whales taken.

(b) agree, as appropriate, on participatory rights such as allocations of allowable catch or levels of fishing effort;

(b) Notwithstanding the above prohibition of treatment during a closed season, the treatment of whales which have been taken during the open season may be completed after the end of the open season.

a) develop the systems for collecting data on observations, incidental catches, strandings, epizootics and other phenomena related to cetaceans;

Any whales taken under these special permits shall so far as practicable be processed and the proceeds shall be dealt with in accordance with directions issued by the Government by which the permit was granted.
