Table 10 refers specifically to the areas designated in Figure 50. The table shows SP-1, SP-2 and SP-3
and the expected effort for each of the four fisheries for which we had adequate data:
a) Our historical data is from 2008 to 2010
b) We have the number of vessels in each sector for 2009 and 2008 but for 2010 we have
assumed the 2009 values;
c) The column “records per year” is the actual number of times these vessels reported in their
catch logs to be in each area;
d) We also used the total effort hours reported for each fishery to estimate the expected time
per day each vessel would trawl in the areas designated. Note that this does not mean that
the vessel will move from the area. Typically vessels remain in an area if fishing is good.
9.2 CONCLUSIONS
The data shown here is a further refinement of the analysis done in Para. 6.3. We stress that these
are approximations of the effort and vessels expected in the area based on the data available to us.
