Guidelines for the establishment of logbook and related systems

The question of logbooks has assumed greater significance with the extension of national jurisdictions and the growing need for data. The CWP (Coordinating Working Party on Atlantic Fishery Statistics), at its 10th Session (Madrid, July 1980), recommended that guidelines be prepared in an effort to promote as far as possible the standardization of the data collected. It was also aimed to give help in the design of these documents to those countries who were introducing logbooks for the first time. The author at the time of preparation of this paper was Principal Scientific Officer at the Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen, Scotland. He has long experience of the statistical systems for fisheries and played an important part in the design and implementation of the systems for recording and analysing fishery statistical data in Scotland.
