Fishing Area Category (CE) CEfishingAreaCategory #175

Closed Kasia-MIR closed 1 year ago

Kasia-MIR commented 1 year ago

I have question about the field CEfishingAreaCategory. Field definition: 'Fishing area category is needed for salmon and sea trout. Codes e.g.: MO=Marine water (open sea), MC=Marine water (coast), FW= fresh water'. Should I take an effort of targeting species of a trip? Example: A trip targeting herring with sea trout bycatch, the fishing activity category should be given for such trip or not?

The Fishing area category will normally for the effort be MO=Marine water (open sea), I guess in your example with a trip targeting herring, but with a bycatch of sea trout. But for effort spend in coastal area (about 4 nautical miles from the coast) typically targeting sea trout or salmon the code MC=Marine water (coast) should be used.
