Baltic Sea (ICES Subdivisions 22-32)

Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5	Level 6	LOA classes (m)
The retained part of the catch should be classified by target assemblage (crustaceans, demersal fish, etc.) at a trip level or at a fishing operation level when possible, and sorted by weight or by total value in the case of valuable species (e.g. Nephrops, shrimps). The target assemblage that comes up at the first position should be considered as the target assemblage to be reported in the matrix.
