4.1.2. Quality assurance<br />
The quality assurance system (QA) used in completing this task is built on the<br />
principles of the quality assurance system used by Carl Bro as.<br />
In relation to collecting <strong>and</strong> reporting data, a project manual was drawn up containing a<br />
description of the guidelines for carrying out each section of the task.<br />
It was not possible to assure the quality of the data collected from the fishermen. The<br />
collected data, however, were compared with official catch statistics from the Ministry<br />
of Food, Agriculture <strong>and</strong> <strong>Fish</strong>eries, although these figures are much less detailed.<br />
4.1.3. Review of existing information<br />
Material was obtained from the Directorate for <strong>Fish</strong>eries regarding the recorded<br />
l<strong>and</strong>ings in area 38G1 (ICES division of Danish coastal waters, see appendix 9.2.)<br />
The data recorded in logbooks do not include catches of fish under the coastal water<br />
regulation, as these catches were only recorded as having been made in ICES area IIIC<br />
(see appendix 9.2.). Including data for the whole area IIIC in the evaluation of the fish<br />
population at Røds<strong>and</strong> would not make sense, as this information covers the whole of<br />
the Belt area <strong>and</strong> the Baltic.<br />
4.2. Results<br />
This section examines the extent of the <strong>fishery</strong> from the data collected for 1997 to 2001,<br />
including:<br />
• Types of nets used at Røds<strong>and</strong><br />
• Intensity of fishing<br />
• Total annual catch of <strong>commercial</strong>ly important species<br />
• Total annual catch from trawling<br />
• Total annual catch with nets <strong>and</strong> hooks<br />
• The fishermen’s usual areas for using nets <strong>and</strong> hooks<br />
• Recorded trawling routes<br />
• The season for <strong>commercial</strong>ly important fish<br />
• Other information gathered from the fishermen including the reason for the<br />
seasons<br />
