Fish‐aggregating device form (FADS)
GENERAL INSTRUCIONS.
This form is designed to satisfy the requirements in resolution XXX. It is important that it be completed as thoroughly as possible.
Do not write in the shaded areas.
This form should be completed by the master or the person in charge of the fishing operations. The master can delegate this duty to the navigator.
HEADING
Vessel: The name of the vessel.
Trip number: Write the year of the start of the trip and the consecutive number of the trip in the year in the spaces provided. For example:’ 2015‐001’, denotes the first trip in 2015.
Vessel Identification: This makes reference to the vessel’s unique identification provided by the flag’s national authority..
FAD ACTIVITY
Date: The date of the event in a forma DD/MM/AA (day/month/year)
Time: The local time of the event in a 24 hour forma (13:00 = 1 pm).
Identification (of the locating buoy): Record the unique identification number of the locating buoy. If this is a satellite buoy, it must be the unique serial number. If it is another type of locating buoy, use a unique
identification code that you provide to the FAD or the locating buoy and that can be use as reference for future encounters. For cases not described here, use the space under Comments.
Activity: From the following list, chose the numeric code that better describe the activity that you are registering.
1. Assessing: The vessel approaches the FAD to evaluate the quantity of tuna, but makes no set.
3. Set: The vessel makes a set on the object. If the set is made on a recently deployed FAD, make notes in Comments section.
5. Other: Record any other activity not described above, on comments.
2. Deployment: A new or replacement FAD is deployed.
4. Recovered. The FAD is recovered and placed onboard.
Geographic location: Write the geographic location of the event (Latitude and Longitude) in degrees and minutes. Note the corresponding hemisphere (N=North, S=South, E=East, W=West).
Tuna catch: If the event is a set, write the catch in metric tons of each of the tuna species denoted. When the catch includes other tunas (OTH), record the quantities and species under Comments. For events that
are not sets, leave blank.
Incidental catch: For the groups noted (Sharks – SHRK –, Turtles – TURT –, Billfishes – BILL –, Manta rays – MANT – and Other vertebrates – OTR –), present in the set, indicate either the number of individuals (N)
or metric tonnage (t) caught. Use the line below to record the quantity of these, released alive.
Comments: Use this space as noted above or to make observations that you deem important.
