Dataset description

Commercial catch and by-catch data are collected as part of the pelagic at-sea observer programme. This data set is comprised of length frequency information from the catch (landings and discards) as well as any observations of bycatch of marine mammals, birds or reptiles. Data is collected on a seasonal basis for pelagic species, concurrent with how the fisheries are conducted. Fisheries occur in the North East Atlantic and cover a large area, including ICES Sub areas 2,4,6 and 7. This data collection programme started in 2007. The data is collected under the Data Collection Framework (REGULATION (EU) 2017/1004 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 17 May 2017 and COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2016/1251 of 12 July 2016) under the guidance of ICES WGCATCH (statistically sound sampling).

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
