EMODnet EMODnet Human Activities, Fisheries, Fish catches by FAO statistical area
The dataset on fish catches in the EU was created in 2015 by Cogea for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the aggregation of EUROSTAT's fish catches datasets fish_ca_atl 27, fish_ca_atl 34, fish_ca_atl 37, fish_ca_atl271, fish_ca_atl272, fish_ca_atl34_h and fish_ca_atl37_h. Fish species have been grouped by EUMOFA's larger aggregations such as EUMOFA's Commodity Groups (CG) and Main Commercial Species (MCS). Tonnes live weight is provided for each fish species caught in EU fishing statistical area, by year of reference, CG, MCS and country. EUROSTAT data have been related to FAO's georeferenced fishing statistical areas (polygons). The dataset is updated yearly and it covers a time series from 1950 to 2019, where available. Compared with the previous version this new version includes data for 2018 and 2019 (often provisional or estimated).

- Statement
-
EUROSTAT datasets on fish catches were related to FAO statistical areas for fisheries purposes using a one-to-many relationship class. All information is pre-validated by EUROSTAT and FAO. In EUROSTAT datasets some catches are not allocated to a specific fishing region (Not Known). For this reason in some cases it may be possible that the sum of sub-levels totals differs from the corresponding figure at the upper level of aggreagation. The complete dataset is available in excel format.
