At the MSC, we are looking for ways to improve and change our Track a Fishery website. In the last year, we have assembled initial feedback, strengths and weaknesses of the website. Now, we would like to ask some additional questions about how you are using Track a Fishery to make sure that if we improve our site, it fits the visitors’ needs. If you like to participate, please complete this survey for us: Track a Fishery Stakeholder Questionnaire – Fill out form

Gear Type: Method used to capture the target species.

Ocean Area: Location of fishing activity by FAO Major Fishing Area.

MSC UoC Number: Unique identifier used only by this website to assist users in seeing the same Units of Assessment/Units of Certification across different pages and tables.

Species: Those species which have been assessed under Principle 1 of the MSC Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Fishing for an individual fishery. Presented as 'Common name (scientific name)' throughout the site.

Status (Units of Certification): Individual Units of Assessment/Units of Certification within a single fishery are assigned a status related to their assessment against the MSC Standard.
