This table is intended to specify data to be collected under Table 1 of the EU MAP Delegated Decision annex. Use this table to give an overview of the collection of data at the level of area/stock. All individuals sampled shall be identified to species level and have length measurements taken, where possible. Other biological data different from length are specified in Table 2.2, and may include data collected under the surveys at sea.

MS	Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code (e.g. 'DEU'). See MasterCodeList 'MS'.

Reference period	Indicate the year(s) to which the data actually refer. Select the three most recent representative years before the first year of the WP period (no update of reference period needed within the WP period), with the data available. Give the reference years as e.g. '2018-2020'. When the reference period differs from the most recent three years, clarify it in the 'WP comments' column.

When the fleet operates in a combined region (e.g. Mediterranean and Black Sea), list all species for that region. You may add additional rows, at the end, for species or stock not included in Table 1 of the EU MAP Delegated Decision annex, for which sampling is required by your Member State, RFMOs or is agreed at marine region level. Justify such an inclusion in the 'WP comments' column.

Data source used for average national landings	Enter the data source for the average national landings. See MasterCodeList 'Data Source'.

EU TAC (if any)(%)	Only applies to stocks that are subject to TAC and quota regulations. Enter 'None', if your Member State has no share in the EU TAC of the stock concerned. Enter the percentage of the share (value between 0 and 100) if your Member State has a share in the EU TAC of the stock concerned. If the TAC refers to several combined species, enter the percentage of the share in the TAC for each species and indicate the combination in the 'WP comments' column. In case of a significant quota swap (more than 50% of the TAC share), indicate the volume of the swap in the 'WP comments' column. Enter 'NA' if the stock is not managed by TAC. In this case fill in 'Share (%) in EU landings' column.

Share (%) in EU landings	Applies to all stocks for which no TACs have been defined (yet). In this column enter 'None', if your Member State has no landings of the stock concerned. Enter the percentage of the share (value between 0 and 100), if your Member State has landings of the stock concerned.

Data source used for EU landings	Enter the data source for EU landings. See MasterCodeList 'Data source'.

Threshold rules used	Indicate which threshold rules apply, when a species is not selected for sampling. For species that are selected for sampling enter 'None'. For diadromous species enter 'None', as no thresholds apply to them under the EU MAP. Use the hierarchy of rules: 1) 'TAC < 10%', 2) 'Landings < 10%', 3) 'Landings < 200t'. If your Member State has no landings/catches of a species*area, enter 'Landings < 200 t'. See MasterCodeList 'Threshold rules used'.

Covered by a commercial sampling scheme for length	Enter 'Y' (yes) or 'N' (no) if the species/stock is covered by a commercial sampling for length. A stock is considered to be covered by sampling if length structures have been sent to end users routinely during the last three years, or if it is covered by a new sampling frame with a plan to send the length structure to the relevant RFMO/RFO/IO in the future.

Selected for sampling of biological variables	Enter 'Y' (yes) if the species/stock has been selected for sampling for at least one variable of Table 2.2 of the work plan; otherwise enter 'N' (no). Make sure that all stocks marked by a 'Y' in this field have an entry in Table 2.2.

MS	Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code (e.g. 'DEU'). See MasterCodeList 'MS'.

Implementation year	Indicate the year or a range of years in which the activity will be implemented, using the format '202X' or '202X-202X'.

If you divide a fleet segment into different activity levels, use 'L' for the low activity vessels and 'A' for the normal economic activity vessels. The sum of the vessels with 'L' and 'A' activities should be equal to the total population of that segment. The methodology for how to apply activity level is provided in Recommendation 5 of PGECON 2018. If an activity level is not applied, use 'NA'. See MasterCodeList 'Activity indicator'.
