DFO Gridded Commercial Fishing Data - Various Years

These datasets show the general spatial distribution of commercial fishing harvest and landed values by fishery on a 1km x 1km planning grid. They aggregate key statistics around fleet specific fishing activity and catch in British Columbia (BC) within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). These gridded data describe the annual average landed weight (Rounded KGs), and landed catch values (CAD $2016) of the subject fishery over the period. The data represented were created from logbook records and matched to prices from fish slips submitted to DFO by participants of BC’s commercial fishing fleets. The dataset is comprised of an aggregate of all species over 10, 9, or 5 years of fishing seasons, depending on the fishery.

To preserve potentially proprietary information, a privacy filtering Rule of Five has been applied to each planning unit (each 1km x 1km planning unit). If any planning units do not meet this minimum of 5 unique vessels/unique identifiers during the time span then they are flagged as being filtered and an average of all filtered planning units is applied.

The accompanying GeoDB contains two data layers, “all_fisheries_filtered_gridded “, which includes all of the commercial fisheries data in 1km x 1km grids, and “DFO_marine_bioregions_NSB_subregions”, which includes polygon feature boundaries for the federal marine bioregions and Northern Shelf bioregion sub-regions.

This dataset contains data for the following fisheries:

- Bottom trawl (2012-2016)

- Midwater trawl (2012-2016)

- Shrimp by trawl (2007-2016)

- Prawn trap (2007-2016)

- Rockfish (2012-2016)

- Sablefish (2007-2016)

- Halibut (2007-2016)

- Combo trips - halibut/sablefish (2007-2016)

- Lingcod (2007-2016)

- Green sea urchin (2006-2015)

- Red sea urchin (2007-2015)

- Sea cucumber (2008-2016)

- Geoduck (2007-2015)

Purpose
Provide planning support to DFO and the partners of the Marine Protected Area Technical Team (MPATT), with focus on the context of Marine Protected Area Network planning in the ‘Northern Shelf Bioregion’. This dataset will also be used to guide other decision making in coastal and oceans management.

Supplemental Information
To preserve potentially proprietary information, a privacy filtering Rule of Five has been applied to each planning unit (each 1km x 1km planning unit). If any planning units do not meet this minimum of 5 unique vessels/unique identifiers during the time span, they are flagged as being filtered and applied a null value.
