The database hosts information on fisheries
observations collected from various pelagic surveys coordinated by ICES and falls into two categories: acoustic data, derived from readings
taken on vessels, and those obtained through trawls in the open ocean –
pelagic – zone. Combined, this provides key biological data on
fish stocks such as herring, mackerel and blue whiting as well as krill
and other prey species.
