<p> </p><p>Determination of catches according to depth criteria and the time vessels
fish at particular depths is labour intensive and requires extensive spatial analysis
of catch records and vessel activity within a geographical information system. From
analysis related to the EU deep sea access regime update discussions, we have provisional
catch and vessel data available covering 2006 – 2012 (see tables attached). This covers
total annual catches (all species) and the proportion of these caught below 600m,
and vessels targeting deep sea species at depths greater than 600m. We have not carried
out similar analysis related to depths greater than 800m or covering 2013. Quota is
not allocated to Member States under the EU deep sea access regime.</p><p> </p><p>
