Metadata: 2011 to 2017, Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA), Chichester Harbour, oyster fisheries catch data
Abstract:
Voluntary logbooks were filled in by oyster fishers as part of the Chichester Harbour Oyster Partnership Initiative (CHOPI) during the fishing season, November to May 2011, to generate long term data of relative oyster density by monitoring catch per unit effort. Record of date, fisher, fishing time (effort), weight of oysters landed, number of dredges, location and CPUE. Data is in an Excel spreadsheet. There was minimal uptake of this project as the fishers had limited time to fill in the logbooks. Similar effort and landings data were collected by SxIFCA fisheries officers during compliance duties and detailed CPUE information was collected at the start of the 2013 season (1st and 2nd November) to support the implementation of an emergency byelaw to protect the remaining stock. From 2014-2017, SxIFCA officers collected detailed catch per unit effort data during the fishing season. 2018 onwards there were too few oysters to allow the fishery to open.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Data is collected by the oyster fishermen and submitted to Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority as part of the Chichester Harbour Oyster Partnership Initiative (CHOPI) for long term stock monitoring. It is a voluntary logbook scheme with no quality assurance except for comparisons between fishers logbooks. No consistency or randomised selection of sites or dates for fishing activity. No GPS positions for fishing activity, just local names of the fishing grounds within Chichester Harbour. Landings data in 2013 to nearest 0.5kg as weighed at point of sale from fisher to merchant, other weights: fishery officer counted number of bags and weight was estimated. |
