World list of seaports. In its 2021 version, the repository includes 13709 ports for 187 countries. The list of seaports has been drawn up on the basis of the information available in the European reference system of places used in the framework of the Common Fisheries Policy and, more particularly, by the Electronic Recording and Reporting System (ERS), the list of ports identified by the UNECE (2021-1). An assessment of the infrastructures present along the coastline made it possible to identify other ports that were not listed. Each geographical position has been verified with Google Earth in WGS84. Each port is associated with information relating to the country (ISO 3 coding), the UNECE or ERS 5-character coding, the name, the geographical position in WGS84 (latitude and longitude), the status of the port indicating whether it is referenced by Unece (UNECE), by the EU/ERS (ERS) or by both (UNECE/ERS) In case the port is not referenced by UNECE or ERS, the status is N/A. For French ports, the reference system integrates the ports of the French overseas departments and territories with the national codification. Inland ports have also been integrated in 2021.

SACROIS is a data crossing algorithm that produces professional fishing activity data series (validated, consolidated and qualified production and effort data) for the vessels registered in the Community Fishing Fleet (CFP) file. SACROIS selects the best of the available information sources to produce the reference fishing activity data. SACROIS consists of an operational application for reconciliation, verification and consistency checks of different unitary data streams. The SACROIS algorithm does not correct the data, its objective is to : - provide the best possible estimate of the various elements making up a tide from the available data sources - to identify the incompleteness of the various data sources and to propose a synthesis completed by indicators of data qualification resulting from the crossings. Twice a month, the SACROIS algorithm produces a new data source, a synthesis of all the available data sources: the reconstructed SACROIS tides. The SACROIS data have been calculated since 2000 for all fleets for which data are available: - North Sea - Channel - Atlantic (excluding tropical seiners), - Mediterranean (excluding bluefin seiners), - DOM (Reunion, Mayotte, French Guiana and the West Indies).

The Bargip project : acquisition of scientific data and knowledge to produce advices on integrated management of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in North-East Atlantic.

The aim of these cruises, which took place on the Thalia, was to evaluate the abundance of the scallop stock in the Charentais channels.

Since 2001, an annual stock assessment of Manila (Ruditapes philippinarum) and European (Ruditapes decussatus) clams has been carried out in March in the Gulf of Morbihan and the Noyalo River. The objectives of this survey are : 1) estimate by direct assessment, the biomass of the stock and its geographical distribution; 2) estimate the exploitable biomass and exploitation potential for the sampled sites in particular, in areas reserved for professional fishing; 3) to establish a diagnosis, with a medium-term vision, on the state of the stock; 4) to propose the implementation of appropriate management measures. Two cruises were also carried out in 1996 and 1997.

The 62 RESSGASC campaigns allow the quarterly assessment of the quantities of various species (hake, sole, Norway lobster, etc.) discarded by fishing vessels (individuals below legal landing size). This information, together with data collected from the demographic structure of landings (using samples from auctions), is essential for the evolution of commercial fish stocks.

Les sous-unités statistiques de Guyane ont été définies par le SIH (Système d'Informations Halieutiques). Ces zones de pêche référencées permettent de collecter et de restituer la donnée halieutique des zones côtières de Guyane. Elles inventorient les zones côtières les plus fréquentées par la petite pêche côtière.

The "Fishing trips" data in the declarative flow correspond to the catch and fishing effort data declared by the professionals in the logbooks for vessels whose overall length is greater than or equal to 10 metres, and the fishing sheets for vessels whose overall length is less than 10 metres.

For some commercial species, coefficients called live weight equivalents allow the live weight of the fish to be calculated from the weight recorded on landing, or from the net weight of the various processed products prepared on board or in factories located on the coast.

The objective of the PELGAS cruise is to monitor distribution and abundance of pelagic species fished in the Bay of Biscay, using two direct evaluation methods: acoustics and spawning estimates. The cruise was conducted in coordination with France, Spain and Portugal, in the framework of the European council regulations (EC No 1543/2000 of 29 June 2000 and No 1639/2001 of 25 July 2001).
