Short description (max 100 words): e.g. sampling scheme aiming to collect length samples from commercial landings on-shore for all species listed in Table 1 of the EU MAP Delegated Decision annex. The scheme covers mainland and all outermost regions (‘RUP’ in French, Portuguese, and Spanish). |
Description of the population |
Population targeted: Specify the primary sampling units (PSUs), e.g. all national port*days (information present in former Table 4B). For research surveys: specify the main target species from a survey perspective (as opposed to Table 1 in the Annex to the Implementing Decision) and the main survey area. Population sampled: Specify which part of the target population will be sampled and specify which part of the target population is unreachable for sampling or excluded for some reason, e.g. major ports being listed as auctions excluding all minor ports and no sampling during the week-ends. For research surveys at sea describe target species in single-species surveys or ecosystem components (e.g. demersal, pelagic) in multispecies surveys. Stratification: Explain the logic taken to stratify the population and the number of strata generated, e.g. population stratified in three geographical lots (from A to B, from B to C and from C to D). Each lot is then stratified by auction. |
AR comment: Indicate any deviations. |
Sampling design and protocols |
Sampling design description: Describe how the sampling allocation is defined; how PSUs and SSUs are selected for sampling; indicate for which catch fraction the sampling scheme applies. Is the sampling design compliant with the 4S principle?: Y/N/NA (NA for e.g. surveys and diadromous and recreational sampling schemes) Regional coordination: Indicate if the sampling design and protocols were developed as part of a regional or multi-lateral agreement, and if yes, refer to the agreement (table 1.3) and list all participating Member States. Link to sampling design documentation: Provide a link to a webpage where the documentation can be found. If no link is available, but documentation exists, provide a literature reference (author(s), year and type of publication – e.g. internal report). If no documentation on the sampling design exists, provide some details in the textbox. Compliance with international recommendations: Enter ‘Y’ (yes) if the sampling design is in line with international recommendations, and ‘N’ if not. If no relevant expert or coordination groups exist, the sampling design should be shortly explained in the text, and should be available upon request for the evaluators. Link to sampling protocol documentation: Provide a link to a webpage where the documentation can be found. If no link is available, but documentation exists, provide a literature reference (author(s), year and type of publication – e.g. internal report). If no documentation on the sampling design exists, provide details of the sampling protocol in this textbox. |
AR comment: Indicate any deviations. |
Sampling implementation |
Recording of refusal rate: Indicate ‘Y’ (yes), ‘N’ (no), or ‘NA’ (not applicable, in case of research surveys). If ‘N’ (no), indicate when (year) documentation will be available. Monitoring of sampling progress within the sampling year: Indicate how sampling allocations are adjusted (if needed) and followed-up. What mechanisms are in place to resolve issues and adopt mitigation measures during the sampling year? |
AR comment: Indicate any deviations. |
Data capture |
Means of data capture: Short description (+ optional photo). Indicate what the means for collecting the data are, e.g. scales, measuring board, dedicated software, etc. Data capture documentation: Provide a link to a webpage where the documentation can be found. If no link is available, but documentation exists, provide a literature reference (author(s), year and type of publication – e.g. internal report). If no documentation on data capture (e.g. measuring protocols, maturity staging, manual for the data capture, etc.) exists, provide some details in the textbox. Quality checks documentation: Indicate ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no). If ‘N’ (no), indicate when (year) documentation will be available. Provide a link to a webpage where the documentation can be found. If no link is available, but documentation exists, provide a literature reference (author(s), year and type of publication – e.g. internal report). If no documentation on the quality checks exists, provide some details in the text box. |
AR comment: Indicate any deviations. |
Data storage |
National database: Provide the name of the national database, if applicable. Otherwise, insert ‘NA’ (not applicable). Provide a link if the database is accessible through a website. International database: Provide the name of the international database(s) and the organisation hosting the database, if applicable. Otherwise, insert ‘NA’ (not applicable). Provide a link if the database is accessible through a website. Quality checks and data validation documentation: Provide a link to webpage where the documentation can be found. Otherwise, provide some details in the text box. |
AR comment: Indicate any deviations. |
Sample storage |
Storage description: Indicate the type of soft tissues and hard parts stored (e.g. age structures, stomach, plankton, genetics) and the location used for storing samples; how long the samples are stored; how conservation and maintenance, as well as access to samples, are organised; whether the samples are stored under the auspices/responsibility of an international organisation and, if yes, which one. Provide a link to information on quantities of sampled stored by species/stock, geographic sub-area and by year. Sample analysis: Provide a brief description or references to documents, including links to webpages (e.g. age reading manuals, EGs reports and protocols) if appropriate, where information on the processing of the samples is provided. |
AR comment: Indicate any deviations. |
Data processing |
Evaluation of data accuracy (bias and precision): Indicate ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no). If ‘N’ (no), indicate when (year) documentation will be available. Provide a link to a webpage where the documentation can be found. If no link is available, but documentation exists, provide a literature reference (author(s), year and type of publication – e.g. internal report). If no documentation on the evaluation of data accuracy exists, provide some details in the textbox. Editing and imputation methods: Indicate ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no). If ‘N’ (no), indicate when (year) documentation will be available. Provide a link to a webpage where the documentation can be found. If no link is available, but documentation exists, provide a literature reference (author(s), year and type of publication – e.g. internal report). If no documentation on the editing and imputation methods exists, provide some details in the textbox. Quality document associated to a dataset: Has a publication digital object identifier (DOI) been created? Is there a document summarising the estimation process that has been followed? Validation of the final dataset: How are datasets validated (quality checked) before being provided to the end user? |

‘ANNEX 1.2 – Quality report for socioeconomic data sampling scheme’
Survey specifications |
||||||||
‘Sector name’ refers to socioeconomic data on fisheries, aquaculture and any complementary data collection for fishing activities and processing, as in the EU MAP Delegated Decision annex. ‘Sampling scheme’ refers to the survey technique: by census, by sampling, random or non-random, other (with explanation). If sampling, then outline sampling design. ‘Variables’ refer to Tables 7, 9 and 10 of the EU MAP Delegated Decision annex. ‘Supra region’ refers to Table 2 of the EU MAP Implementing Decision annex. If the sampling scheme is the same in all supra regions, put ‘All supra regions’. |
