2. Data Overview
a. Introduction
This dataset contains annual landing site-level fisheries production data used to examine temporal trends in catch, fishing effort, and spatial expansion of fishing areas.
- Temporal resolution: Annual
- Spatial resolution: Landing site level
- Missing values: Represented as blank cells
The landing sites are classified as either expanded or non-expanded, and the fishing ground areas are provided as:
- Initial fishing areas – Previously established fishing grounds
- Final fishing areas – Areas established in 2018
- Interpolated fishing areas – See methodological information section in the supporting READMe documentation
b. Variables
- The variables include: year, landing_site, expansion, latitude, longitude, initial_fishing_areas, final_fishing_areas, interpolated_fishing_areas, fishers, catch, initial_effort, initial_cpue, initial_cpua, final_effort, final_cpue, final_cpua, interpolated_effort, interpolated_cpue, interpolated_cpua
- See provided documentation for variables description
