When a geographical position is required, latitude and longitude shall be recorded in degrees and minutes if no use of GPS and in decimal degrees and minutes using GPS (format WGS 84).

Date for each day at sea shall be recorded in a new line (paper logbook) or report (electronic logbook) and shall correspond to each day at sea.

Where applicable, date for each fishing operation shall be recorded in a new line.

Fishing time (O)

Gear time set and haul (CIF)

Fishing depth (CIF)

Total time (O)

Total time spent for all activities in connection with fishing operations (searching for fish, the shooting, towing and hauling of active gears, setting, soaking, removing or resetting of passive gears and the removal of any catch from the gear, keep nets, or from a transport cage to fattening and farming cages) shall be given in minutes and equals the number of hours spent at sea minus the time spent in transit to, between and returning from the fishing grounds, dodging, inactive or waiting for repair.

For gear time set and time haul, time shall be recorded in HH-MM in local time (paper logbook) or in coordinated universal time (UTC) for electronic logbook.

Fishing depth shall be recorded as average depth and in metres.

The relevant geographical area of capture shall be represented by the area in which the majority of the catch was taken using the most detailed level when available.

Examples:

• In Northeast Atlantic waters (FAO area 27), up to ICES Division and statistical rectangle (e.g. IVa 41E7, VIIIb 20E8). ICES statistical rectangles provide a grid covering the area between 36° N and 85° 30′ N and 44° W and 68° 30′ E. Latitudinal rows, with intervals of 30′, are numbered (two-digits) from 01 to 99. Longitudinal columns, with intervals of 1°, are coded according to an alphanumeric system, beginning with A0 using a different letter for each 10° block, to M8, except I.

• In Mediterranean and Black sea waters (FAO area 37), up to GFCM geographical sub-area and statistical rectangle (e.g. 7 M27B9). The numbers of a rectangle in the GFCM statistical grid is a 5 digits code: (i) Latitude is covered by a composed 3 digits code (one letter and two numbers). Maximum range from M00 (30° N) up to M34 (47° 30′ N), (ii) Longitude is covered by a composed code of a letter and a number. The letter range is from A to J and number range per letter is from 0 to 9. Maximum range from A0 (6° W) up to J5 (42° E).

• In Northwest Atlantic waters including NAFO (FAO area 21) and in Eastern Central Atlantic waters including CECAF (FAO area 34), up to FAO division or subdivision (e.g. 21.3.M or 34.3.5).

• For the other FAO areas, up to FAO subarea when available (e.g. FAO 31 for Western Central Atlantic and FAO 51.6 for Western Indian Ocean).

However, optional entries may be made in respect of all the statistical rectangles in which the fishing vessel has operated during the day (O)

In GFCM and ICCAT areas, geographical position (latitude/longitude) shall be as well recorded for each fishing operation or at noon when no fishing has been conducted during this day.

When a geographical position is required, latitude and longitude shall be recorded in degrees and minutes if no GPS is used and in decimal degrees and minutes using GPS (format WGS 84).

Third country fishing zone, regional fisheries management organisation area and high seas: indicate the fishing zone(s) of non-Member States or the Regional Fisheries Management Organisation area(s) or the waters outside the sovereignty or jurisdiction of any State or not regulated by a Regional Fisheries Management Organisation, using ISO-3166 3-alpha country codes and other codes published in the Master Data Register page of the European Commission Fisheries website e.g. NOR = Norway, NAFO = XNW, NEAFC = XNE and XIN for high seas.

FAO 3-alpha species codes shall be used .

The catch of each species shall be recorded in kilograms live weight equivalent.

All quantities of each species caught and kept on board above 50 kg of live-weight equivalent shall be recorded. The 50 kg threshold shall apply as soon as catches of a species exceed 50 kg. These amounts shall include quantities set aside for consumption by the crew of the vessel.

Legally size catches shall be recorded using the general code LSC.

Below minimum conservation reference size catches shall be recorded separately from the legally sized catches using the general code BMS.

Where catches are held in baskets, boxes, bins, cartons, sacks, bags, blocks or other containers, the net weight of the unit used shall be recorded in kilograms live weight, and the precise number of such units used shall be recorded.

Alternatively the catch kept on board in such units may be recorded in kilograms live weight (O).

In Baltic Sea (only for salmon) and in GFCM area (only for tunas, swordfish and highly migratory sharks) and, if applicable, in other areas, number of fish caught per day shall be also recorded.

If the number of columns is insufficient, a new page shall be used.

FAO 3-alpha species codes shall be used .

The discard of each species shall be recorded in kilograms live weight equivalent.

Species not subject to the landing obligation :

• Discards of quantities of each species above 50 kg live weight equivalent shall be recorded following the rules set up for the recording of catches using the general code DIS.

• Discards of species taken for live bait purposes and which are recorded in the fishing logbook, shall also be recorded in the same way.

Species which benefit from exemptions to the landing obligation ^f2:

• Discards of quantities of each species shall be fully recorded following the rules set up for the recording of catches using the general code DIS.

• Discards of quantities of each species to which specifically de minimis exemptions apply shall be fully recorded following the rules set up for the recording of catches separately from the other discards using the general code DIM.

In GFCM area, the following information shall be as well recorded separately for each catch or incidental by-catch:

• Daily catches of red coral including fishing activity by area and depth,

• Incidental by-catch and release of seabirds,

• Incidental by-catch and release of monk seals,

• Incidental by-catch catch and release of sea turtles,

• Incidental by-catch and release of cetaceans.

Where applicable, marine animals released to sea shall be recorded using the general code RET.

FAO 3-alpha species codes shall be used or when unavailable, codes published in the Master Data Register page of the European Commission Fisheries website.
