1 Introduction
The Pelagic Freezer-trawler Association (PFA) is an association that has nine
member companies that together operate 19 (in 2017) freezer trawlers in five
European countries (www.pelagicfish.eu).
In 2015, the PFA has initiated a self-sampling program that expands the ongo-
ing monitoring programs on board of pelagic freezer-trawlers by the special-
ized crew of the vessels. The primary objective of that monitoring program is
to assess the quality of fish. The expansion in the self-sampling program con-
sists of recording of haul information, recording the species compositions per
haul and regularly taking random length-samples from the catch. The self-sam-
pling is carried out by the vessel quality managers on board of the vessels, who
have a long experience in assessing the quality of fish, and by the skippers/of-
ficers with respect to the haul information. The scientific coordination of the
self-sampling program is carried out by Martin Pastoors (PFA chief science of-
ficer) with support of Floor Quirijns (contractor).

2 Overview of self-sampling methodology
The PFA self-sampling program has been incrementally implemented on
freezer-trawler vessels from the Netherlands, UK, Germany, France and Lithu-
ania during the years 2015-2017.
The self-sampling program is designed in such a way that it follows as closely
as possible the working practices on board of the different vessels and that it
delivers the biological and fisheries information needed for the relevant scien-
tific bodies (e.g. ICES, SPRFMO, CECAF), certification bodies (e.g. MSC) and as
a mechanism of feedback for the participating companies.
An important feature of the PFA self-sampling program is that it is tuned to the
capacity of the vessel-crew to collect certain kinds of data. Depending on the
number of crew and the space available on the vessel, certain types of meas-
urements can or cannot be carried out. That is why the program is essentially
tuned to each vessel separately. And that is also the reason that the totals pre-
sented in this report can be somewhat different dependent on which variable
is used. For example the estimate of total catch is different from the sum of
the catch per species because not all vessels have supplied data on the species
composition of the catch.
The following main elements can be distinguished in the self-sampling proto-
col:
• haul information (date, time, position, weather conditions, environmen-
tal conditions, gear attributed, estimated catch, optionally: species com-
position)
• batch information (total catch per batch=production unit, including vari-
ables like species, average size, average weight, fat content, gonads y/n
and stomach fill)
• mechanisms for linking batch and haul information (essentially a key of
how much of a batch is caught in which of the hauls. There can be multiple
batches in a haul or multiple hauls in a batch)
• length information (length frequency measurements, either by batch or
by haul)
| 4
The self-sampling information is collected using standardized Excel work-
sheets. Each participating vessel will send in the information collected during
a trip by the end of the trip. The data will be checked and added to the data-
base by Floor Quirijns and/or Martin Pastoors, who will also generate stand-
ardized trip reports (using RMarkdown) which will be sent back to the vessel
within one or two days. The compiled data for all vessels is being used for spe-
cific purposes, e.g. reporting to expert groups, addressing specific fishery or
biological questions and supporting detailed biological studies. The PFA pub-
lishes an annual report on the self-sampling program.
Because the self-sampling program has been under development over the
years, different numbers of vessels have been participating in the program
over different years. Results should not be interpreted as a census of the PFA
fleet, but rather as an indicator of relative distributions and samples of catch
and catch compositions.

3 Results
3.1 Vessels, fisheries, trips and catch in all areas
An overview of all the self-sampling trips in 2015-2017 is shown in Table 3.1.1
and an separate table by large FAO area (North Atlantic 27, West-Africa 34 and
South Pacific 87) is in Table 3.1.2.
An expansion of vessels, trips and catches in the self-sampling program has
taken place between 2015 and 2017, from 135,000 tonnes in 2015 up to
388,000 tonnes in 2017 and from 8 vessels in 2015 up to 15 vessels in 2017
(out of 19 vessels in the fleet).

Catch by species
Species compositions in self-sampled fisheries were derived from the batch in-
formation or from assessments on the species proportions by haul. Table 3.1.3
summarizes the total catch of the top-25 species for all areas (shown in de-
creasing quantities). Figure 3.1.1 shows the catch composition by year, month
and FAO area. Minor differences may exist with the overall catch (table 3.1.1)
because for some trips the species composition data was not available.

Length compositions
Length compositions were estimated based on length measurements being
taken on a number of vessels. All length measurements were raised to the total
catch of the vessels and then converted in length proportions by area, species
and year. Length is expressed as total length for areas 27 and 34 and as fork
length for area 87. In cases where standard length has been measured on
board of the vessels, a species-specific length conversion factor was applied to
arrive at the required length unit.

4 Discussion and conclusions
This report mostly consists of the presentation of approach and generic results
of the self-sampling program initiated by the PFA. The self-sampling program
has clearly developed over the course of the 3 years and has achieved a sub-
stantial level of standardization and harmonization. However, given the differ-
ence between different fisheries and seasons, a full harmonization of
methodologies has not yet been achieved. In the design of the program, the
intention was to stay as close as possible to the standard operations that are
carried out on board of the vessels. That is why the biological measurements
(e.g. mean weight, mean length, fat content etc) are taken from the routine
sampling that is carried out on the vessels. What we added to the on-going
activities was a standardization of the recording of haul information, a meth-
odology to assess the species composition per haul and the measurement of
the individual lengths of a subsample of fish (by haul or by production unit
‘batch’). Thus, the self-sampling program is requiring extra efforts on behalf of
the crews of the participating vessels but we have tried to make that extra ef-
fort as small as possible.
By the end of 2017, 15 vessels were participating in the PFA self-sampling pro-
gram in one way or another. This is about 80% of the freezer-trawler fleet. Alt-
hough the program does not consist of a random selection of vessels – because
the instructions to the vessel benefit from a continued application of data col-
lection on the participating vessels – the overall fishing pattern does appear to
represent the fisheries of the PFA vessels. However, at the time of writing this
report, it is not yet possible to make an overall comparison between the
catches of all the PFA vessels and the catches of the sub-set of self-sampling
vessels.
As a first test of consistency, length distribution for herring by division and ves-
sel were compared in figure 4.1. This indicates that there is good consistency
between vessels, although some checks are still required on the measurement
type (total length, standard length) for some vessels.
| 31
Figure 4.1: Checking consistency of herring length distributions by year and di-
vision Each coloured line indicates the relative length-frequency of a vessel.
We believe that the direct communication of the results of the self-sampling
program to the participating crews and vessels is a key element of the pro-
gram. Maintaining engagement with the fishermen at sea is an essential req-
uisite for the program to work. Direct communication involves an almost
instantaneous return of the trip report after finishing a trip. By investing in
standardized procedures, the response time back to the vessel is usually within
one day.
Overall the self-sampling program demonstrates the feasibility of self-docu-
menting catches of this fleet and providing links between environmental pa-
rameters and catches.

5 Acknowledgements
The skippers, officers and the quality managers of many of the PFA vessels
have put in a lot of effort to make the PFA the self-sampling work. Without
their efforts, there would be no self-sampling.
