ATLANTIC_CH06_Product_3 / Collated data set of bycatch by species and year, for mass and number
The challenge attempts to collect bycatch data for the North Atlantic sea basin (i.e. north of the equator, excluding Caribe, Baltic, North Sea and Artic) and to compute: mass and number of discards by species and year, including fish, mammals, reptiles and seabirds. Data are presented in an Excel's spreadsheet.

-
The Fisheries Management challenge aims to collect fish catch information for the whole sea basin on landings, discards, and by-catch of fish, mammals, reptiles and seabirds (mass & number by species and year), to assess whether the current available marine datasets are available and appropriate to the use case, as well as to indicate gaps in the current EU data collection framework.

This EMODnet Atlantic Checkpoint data product (the “Product”) is the result of a “challenge” stress test specified by the call for tenders No MARE/2012/11. The challenge partners ( "the producer") were commissioned to perform a number of tests to evaluate marine data according to set user requirements. This product and any resultant data and metadata produced is a consequence of these tests and provided for interest only. The Product is provided on an “as is” basis, and the producer disclaims any and all warranties, conditions, or representations (express, implied, oral or written), relating to the Product or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any and all implied warranties of quality, performance, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose to the full extent permitted by law. The Producer and the Atlantic Checkpoint partners accept no liability for loss suffered or incurred as a result of reliance on the Product or any output of its use. The Producer shall not be liable for any economic loss, loss of profit, loss of business or contract, depletion of goodwill or otherwise, in each case whether direct, or indirect or any indirect loss whatsoever (howsoever caused) including loss or damage suffered as a result of an action brought by any person which arise out of or in connection with the use of the Product or inability to use the Product

Limited: The product fails in most aspects to meet the objectives but meet some.
- Use limitation
-
Bycatch data to produce the intended product is usually scarce since is not usually collected on a mandatory and regular basis. It is collected within the framework of research projects or by green NGOs. Even in the context of the DCF it is not mandatory for Member States to launch programs expressly devoted to collect data on bycatch. Data bases on bycatch are managed by some regional organizations such as ICCAT and ICES. Data from ICES is not available for the public.

ATLANTIC_CH06_Product_3 / Collated data set of bycatch by species and year, for mass and number - EU Member States - bycatch in number 2003-2015
-
Component is not covered because existing data not available
-
Collection of bycatch data is not mandatory under the DCF. Data is usually collected in the framework of research projects led by research institutes, academia and NGOs. The ICES's bycatch working group is trying to gather data from diverse sources, building a comprehensive data base. These data base is currently not accessible. However, there are data in ICCAT for sharks and non-target fish species for Spain and France, but there is no data on mammals
