We offer two types of Quota Situation report: one with regards to industrial and another with regards to auction quotas. Both reports are built in the same way. You have totally 10 columns in each report. You see an example below based on a small cutting from the old industrial quota report from 2001. Full version of the report contains information about ALL Russian fishery companies that have quota in Barents Sea.

Daily catch report consists of two separated parts: General situation in Barents Sea and Catch of every vessel. You can choose to start your view with one of the parts and further go over to another part by using red links on the bottom of each part of the report.

General situation in Barents Sea:
This report contains a text description of general fishing activity and a map.
The text part of the report looks like this:

First, you see "Top 5 catches" made in Barents Sea with appropriate coordinates where the catches are made.
Then you have some catch statistics like the catch of the total Russian fleet, average catch per vessel, etc.
The line like this "Total bottom catch 65/45-686,37" should be read as "There are 65 vessels in total catching bottom species, 45 out of those have reported their data, all these vessels together have caught -686,37 metric tons of bottom fish”.

The graphical part is represented by a small map which appears right after the text version. In order to see all the details just click on that map to enlarge it.
A number close to harbour name represents a number of vessels staying currently in this port.
Notation like (3)-16/7=85,082 av-12,2 should be read as "Group of fishing vessels number (3) consisting of 16 vessels, 7 vessels have reported and together got 85,082 metric tons of fish with an average catch of 12,2 metric tons per vessel".

Typical Fishing Report looks like this:

The numbers from 1 to 7 that you see in the first column is the same numbers of groups of fishing vessels which are illustrated on the map in the graphic part of General situation report.

Let's go inside our table and see how to read the data inside the cells. The first record in a first cell starts with AG1312(32,071-(Cod- 73%) Where AG1312 is vessel number. 32,071 is the amount of metric tons of fish this particular vessel has caught during the day. Cod-73% tells us that 73% of the catch was Cod, the rest is bycatch.

If the brackets contain no data, then the vessel is in port, steaming to fishing ground or just has not reported this day.

The colors of the vessels have following meanings:
- vessel catching cod or haddock
- vessel catching pelagic species
- vessel catching shrimps
- vessel catching catfish
