Data Collection & Database Program
The Data Collection and Database Program is responsible for the following main duties:
- Obtaining statistical records of the tuna fishery directly from the fishing fleet and processing plants.
- Processing of the data specified in 1, preparation of the corresponding reports, as well as the provision of data in response to requests from CPCs.
- Providing the data necessary for assessing the effects of fishing on the abundance of the stocks to the Stock Assessment Program, as well as for other research activities under other programs at IATTC.
- Activities related to the IATTC Regional Register of Vessels and its maintenance, including the lists and categories established in different resolutions.
