CEDER's Objectives
Provide more accurate and timelier information on catches, effort, landings, discards and quota uptake
Effort
General success in predicting fishing behaviour using 15 minute GPS data
Ecosystem approach: temporal and spatial distribution of fisheries effort
Useful to cross-check “fishing behaviour” against ERS E-logbook information
“Effort while fishing” measure can lead to more precise effort management regimes
Catches and Discards
Success when using fishery specific approaches (ISL, GRL, English roundfish)
Landings and quota uptake
Cross-checking tool developed for Greenland: VMS / hail messages / landings
Catch & landings prediction from VMS for Icelandic Redfish
Generally, recommend use of ERS E-Logbook
Assess the benefits of this information for fisheries management
Simulation studies by CEFAS confirm value of near-real-time information
