CHAPTER II
Data collection methods and data requirements
1. General principles
1.1.
In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004, Member States shall develop national work plans, specifying the data to be collected and data collection methods.
1.2.
Data collection methods and quality shall be suitable for the intended purposes defined in Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. The methods applied shall follow relevant scientific advice and best practices. Member States may conduct studies to further explore, develop and test data collection methods. The methods and their application shall be assessed at regular intervals by independent scientific bodies to ascertain whether they are appropriate for the purposes intended. Member States shall adapt their data collection planning and implementation in accordance with the results of these assessments.
1.3.
As regards the data specified in points 2, 3, 4 and 5 below, data reported and transmitted under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, including but not limited to logbooks, sales notes and positional data, such as VMS data, shall be made available in primary form to the national institutions implementing national work plans.
1.4.
As regards the data specified in points 2, 3 and 4 below, Member States shall agree at marine region level on the data to be collected, based on the identified needs of end users of scientific data (‘end-user needs’), including, where appropriate, the species, stocks, regions, variables, methodology and frequency of data collection in accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004. The data so collected shall enable the end users to derive the necessary assessments for all relevant types of fisheries, time periods and areas. If no regional coordination can be achieved, Member States shall establish national data collection based on end-user needs.
1.5.
As regards the social and economic data specified in points 5, 6 and 7 below, the definitions referred to in the European Business Statistics Regulation ( 7 ) shall apply. Additional definitions of variables, strata, and, where appropriate, collection methodology, shall be coordinated among the Member States concerned.
1.6.
In specifying the data to be collected, Member States shall take account of the thresholds set in Chapter II of the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/1168 ( 8 ) establishing the list of mandatory surveys and thresholds as part of the multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors.
1.7.
The data to be collected are divided into sets, specified in points 2 to 7 of this Chapter.
2. Biological data on exploited biological resources caught by Union commercial and recreational fisheries
2.1.
As regards commercial fisheries:
a)
data shall comprise catch quantities by species and biological data from individual specimens, to enable the estimation of volume and length frequency, as well as biological variables such as individual age, sex, weight, maturity and fecundity, for each catch fraction by species and management area listed in Table 1. Data required to estimate volume and length frequency shall be reported at the level of aggregation required by the relevant end user, where relevant using gear codes listed in Table 5;
b)
in addition, the following data shall be collected on diadromous species listed in Table 3 caught during the freshwater part of their lifecycle, however such fisheries are undertaken:
i.
stock-related variables selected by Member States at a regional level based on end-user needs,
ii.
annual catch quantities for salmon and sea trout,
iii.
annual catch quantities by life stage for eel.
2.2.
As regards recreational fisheries, Member States shall implement statistically robust multispecies sampling schemes that enable catch quantities to be estimated for stocks agreed at regional level, in accordance with the relevant end-user needs. Where no such schemes exist, Member States shall collect data that enable catch quantities to be estimated for the species and areas listed in Table 4.
Where recreational catches affect the development of fish stocks, Member States shall carry out biological sampling in accordance with end-user needs, as agreed at marine region level.
2.3.
In addition:
a)
for salmon and sea trout, data shall be collected on the abundance of smolt and parr and the number of ascending individuals in rivers.
b)
for eel, data shall be collected in any relevant marine or inland water habitat in at least one body of water per eel management unit on: the abundance of recruits, the abundance of the standing stock (yellow eel), and the number and weight, and sex ratio of migrating silver eels.
The designation of bodies of water, including rivers, the selection of stock-related variables to be collected and monitored, and the sampling frequency for salmon, sea trout and eel shall be defined and coordinated at regional level, depending on end-user needs. Where no regional coordination exists, Member States shall establish national sampling schemes based on end-user needs.
3. Data on the activity of Union fishing vessels ( 9 )
within and outside Union waters
3.1.
Data shall cover variables indicated in Table 6 at the lowest relevant geographic level by fleet segment (Table 8) and metier level 6 (Table 5). Such data, including positional data, such as VMS ( 10 ) or AIS ( 11 ) data, recorded, reported and transmitted under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, shall be made available in primary form to the national institutions implementing national work plans. Where there is no obligation under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 to record these data, or where these data do not meet the coverage, resolution and/or quality requirements of the end users, alternative appropriate sampling methods shall be applied.
3.2.
Data on inland water commercial fisheries for eel shall cover the variables indicated in Table 6. Data recorded under Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 are to be made available in primary form to the national institutions implementing national work plans. Where there is no obligation under Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 to record these data, or where these data do not meet the coverage, resolution and/or quality requirements of the end users, alternative appropriate sampling methods shall be applied.
4. Data on the impact of Union fisheries on marine biological resources and marine ecosystems within and outside Union waters
4.1.
Data shall be collected on occurrences (as a minimum the weight and/or the numbers of individuals per species, depending on the appropriate unit for a particular species) of incidental catches of all protected sea birds, mammals, reptiles and fish species, as referred to in Union legislation and under international agreements, including those specified in Table 2, and invertebrate benthic species identified as a VME ( 12 ) indicator ( 13 ) . Such data shall be recorded during scientific observer trips on fishing vessels, or by the fishers themselves, using logbooks or other appropriate means. Where these data are insufficient for end-user needs, other complementary methods and observations shall be used, based on the scientific knowledge available, including risk assessments.
4.2.
The data necessary to assess the impact of fisheries on marine habitats and on species recorded under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 and other relevant EU legislation shall be made available, at an appropriate level of aggregation, to the national institutions implementing the national work plans. Where there is no obligation under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 to record these data or where these data do not meet the coverage, resolution and/or quality requirements of the end users, alternative appropriate sampling methods should be applied, including methods determined through targeted studies.
4.3.
Data collection on the impact of fishing activities on food webs shall include stomach sampling and analysis.
5. Socioeconomic data on fisheries
5.1.
Economic data shall be collected on all active and inactive vessels listed in the Union Fishing Fleet Register ( 14 ) on 31 December of the reporting year, and on other vessels that have fished for at least one day during the reporting year. As regards active vessels, the data collected shall cover the variables indicated in Table 7 according to the fleet segmentation indicated in Table 8 and according to supra regions as defined in Table 2 of Chapter III in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/1168. In the case of inactive vessels, data shall be collected on capital value and capital cost.
Economic data shall be collected on an annual basis.
Data on economic variables may be aggregated for confidentiality reasons or where necessary to design a statistically sound sampling plan. Such aggregation shall be consistent over time.
5.2.
Social data shall cover the variables indicated in Table 9 and shall be collected every three years, counting from 2017 as the first reference data year.
6. Socioeconomic and environmental data on aquaculture
6.1.

The data collected shall cover economic variables indicated in Table 10 according to the sector segmentation set out in Table 11.
Economic data shall be collected on an annual basis.
Data on economic variables may be aggregated for confidentiality reasons or where necessary to design a statistically sound sampling plan. Such aggregation shall be consistent over time.
6.2.
Social data shall cover variables indicated in Table 9 and shall be collected every three years, counting from 2017 as the first reference data year.
6.3.
Environmental data, such as data on water quality, escapees, the use of antibiotics and other medicines, and disease status, required under relevant EU and national legislation, shall be made available to the national institutions implementing the national work plans.
7. Socioeconomic data on the fish processing sector
Over and above the data published by Eurostat, collected by the Member States in line with the European Business Statistics Regulation and Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 15 ) , Member States may collect additional socioeconomic data on the fish processing sector.

( 61 ) For vessels less than 12 m in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, the length categories are 0-< 6, 6-< 12 m. For vessels less than 12 m in the Baltic Sea, the length categories are 0-< 8, 8-< 12 m. For all other regions, the length categories are defined as 0-< 10, 10-< 12 m.
( 62 ) The dominance criteria are be used to allocate each vessel to a segment based on the number of fishing days used with each gear. If a fishing gear is used by more than the sum of all the others (i.e. a vessel spends more than 50 % of its fishing time using that gear), the vessel shall be allocated to that segment. If not, the vessel shall be allocated to the following fleet segment: (a) ‘Vessels using polyvalent ‘active’ gears only’ if it only uses active gears; (b) ‘Vessels using polyvalent ‘passive’ gears only’ if it only uses passive gears; (c) ‘Vessel using active and passive gears’.
( 63 ) Vessels less than 12 metres using passive gears in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea may be disaggregated by gear type. The fleet segment definition also includes an indication of the supra-region and, if available, a geographical indicator to identify vessels fishing in outermost regions and exclusively outside EU waters.
( 64 ) Vessels less than 12 metres using passive gears in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea may be disaggregated by gear type. The fleet segment definition shall also include an indication of the supra-region and, if available, a geographical indicator to identify vessels fishing in outermost regions and exclusively outside EU waters.
( 65 ) For definitions of farming techniques, see Regulation (EC) No 762/2008.
( 66 ) Enterprises should be segmented according to their main farming technique.
( 67 ) Hatcheries and nurseries are defined as places for the artificial breeding, hatching and rearing through the early life stages of aquatic animals. For statistical purposes, hatcheries are limited to the production of fertilised eggs. Further juvenile stages of aquatic animals are considered as being produced in nurseries. When hatcheries and nurseries are closely associated, statistics shall refer only to the latest juvenile stage produced (Regulation (EC) No 762/2008).
( 68 ) Enclosures and pens are defined as areas of water confined by nets, mesh and other barriers allowing uncontrolled water interchange and distinguished by the fact that enclosures occupy the full water column between substrate and surface; pens and enclosures generally enclose a relatively large volume of water (Regulation (EC) No 762/2008).
( 69 ) Recirculation systems means systems where the water is reused after some form of treatment (e.g. filtering).
( 70 ) Cages are defined as open or covered enclosed structures constructed with net, mesh or any porous material allowing natural water interchange. These structures may be floating, suspended or fixed to the substrate, but still permit water interchange from below (Regulation (EC) No 762/2008).
( 71 )
‘On-bottom’ techniques cover shellfish farming in inter-tidal areas (directly on the ground or elevated).
