and 2013:</p><p>a) Fishing took place on 32% of available fishing days in the outer
25nm of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)<br>b) Fishing took place on 66% of available
fishing days in the outer 50nm of the EEZ<br>c) Fishing took place on 79% of available
fishing days in the outer 75nm of the EEZ<br>d) Fishing took place on 90% of available
