Metadata: Total Allowable Catch & ICES Advice
Abstract:
Most stocks exploited by Scottish fishermen are managed under the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) by the European Commission. An important part of the management procedure is the use of Total Allowable Catches (TACs). These are intended to allocate fish resources to different member states and to control the amount of fish removed each year. Different quotas are applied to different areas for different species, the so-called TAC areas. For example, the TAC area for North Sea whiting comprises International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) divisions IVa,b,c and VIId. It is also important to remember that before the December Council of Fisheries Ministers meeting takes place, an agreement must be reached with Norway - not an EU member - on quota shares. This is because the main North Sea demersal and pelagic stocks are shared by Norway and the EU. Most TACs are set on an annual basis and are the result of a cycle of events ending in the December Council of Fisheries Ministers, which decides on the final TACs for the following year. Fixing the level of fish quotas that can be caught by EU member states is a complex process and EU fisheries ministers have the final say on the quotas to be allocated for the next twelve month period. Sometimes scientific advice on how much of a certain species should be caught is followed to the letter, but it is not unusual for ministers to agree on levels which are very different from the European Commission's initial proposals.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 6333 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Total Allowable Catch & ICES Advice |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_999 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_999 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1960-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2016-11-07 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 55000.00 |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The data and information presented in this collection originates primarily from ICES. The summary information provided by scottish government reflect current stats in TAC, and how much of the species are landed in Scotland. The information sources included are advice and background information for: Brown Crab, European Lobster, Nephrops/Norway lobster, King Scallop, Velvet Crab, Cod, Haddock, Herring, Mackerel, Monkfish, Saithe, and Whiting. |
