Catch Statistics - STATLANT Database Queries to be addressed to ICES Data Centre (info@ices.dk) Yearly nominal catches of fish and shellfish officially submitted by 20 ICES member countries in the Northeast Atlantic including over 200 species.

ICES has published these data in Bulletin Statistique des Pêches Maritimes from 1903 to 1987 and for 1988 in ICES Fisheries Statistics. As of the year 2000 the data are published on a CD-ROM containing data for the period 1973-2003.

The Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP) coordinates collection of these statistics under the STATLANT programme. The organizations involved are the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Commission for the Conservation of the Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO), International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), Statistical Office of the European Communities (EUROSTAT), and ICES. The CD-ROM holds data from all these organizations, thereby covering the entire Atlantic.

The data are in the ices.zip file. This dataset should be installed under the FishStat Plus system.
