# Commission Decision of 18 December 2009 adopting a multiannual Community programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector for the period 2011-2013 (notified under document C(2009) 10121) (2010/93/EU), Appendix IV: Fishing activity (metier) by Region

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(1)
Baltic Sea (ICES Subdivisions 22-32)
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.
As defined in Council Regulations (EC) No 88/98 (OJ L 9, 15.1.1998, p. 1) and (EC) No 2187/2005 (OJ L 349, 31.12.2005, p. 1).
Including eel in the management units as specified in Council Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 (OJ L 248, 22.9.2007, p. 17).

North Sea (ICES areas IIIa, IV and VIId) and Eastern Arctic (ICES areas I and II)
The retained part of the catch should be classified by target assemblage (crustaceans, cephalopods, 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, Tunas).

The retained part of the catch should be classified by target assemblage (crustaceans, cephalopods, 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, Tunas).

Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea
The retained part of the catch should be classified by target assemblage (crustaceans, cephalopods, 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, Tunas). The target assemblage that comes up at the first position should be considered as the target assemblage to be reported in the matrix.
As defined in Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 (OJ L 409, 30.12.2006, p.11).
Referring only to red shrimps Aristaeomorpha foliacea and Aristeus antennatus, species not included in the definition of deep sea species given by Council Regulation (EC) No 2347/2002 (OJ L 351, 28.12.2002, p. 6).

Other regions where fisheries are operated by EU vessels and managed by RFMO’s to which the Community is contracting party or observer (e.g. ICCAT, IOTC, CECAF …)
The retained part of the catch should be classified by target assemblage (crustaceans, cephalopods, demersal fish, etc.) at a trip level or at a fishing operation level where possible, and sorted by weight or by total value in the case of valuable species (e.g. Nephrops, Tunas). The target assemblage that comes up at the first position should be considered as the target assemblage to be reported in the matrix.
