Fishing fleet by OECD

Description

Fisheries fleet: The FAO has a two dimensional definition, of which the OECD only uses the concept of fishing vessel.

Fishery Fleet: The term "fishery fleet" or "fishery vessels" refers to mobile floating objects of any kind and size, operating in freshwater, brackishwater and marine waters which are used for catching, harvesting, searching, transporting, landing, preserving and/or processing fish, shellfish and other aquatic organisms, residues and plants.
Fishing vessel: The term "fishing vessel" is used instead when the vessel is engaged only in catching operations.

Gross Register Tonnage: The Gross Register Tonnage represents the total measured cubic content of the permanently enclosed spaces of a vessel, with some allowances or deductions for exempt spaces such as living quarters (1 gross register ton = 100 cubic feet = 2.83 cubic metres).
