Description
Summary:Annual geographical distribution of Spanish troll fleet activity is estimated by means of sampling scheme based on a number of interviews to skippers carried out at landings in main fishing ports of the Spanish Atlantic and Bay of Biscay coast. The compiled geographical position by trip on latitude and longitude (1x1 degrees) is mapped on monthly bases for each year. Troll fleet targets albacore (Thunnus alalunga) from June to November operating in offshore waters of the northeast Atlantic and Bay of Biscay. Based on the compiled information of the interviews, i the spatial evolution of the troll fleet fishing ground for the fishing seasons from 2000 to 2013 t is presented. SI
