INVESTIGATION INTO AND ASSESSMENT OF AQUATIC RESOURCES AND LIVING ENVIRONMENT OF AQUATIC SPECIES

Article 3. Investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species

Investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species shall be carried out according to the following procedures:

1. Design an investigation.

2. Prepare for the investigation.

3. Conduct the investigation.

4. Analyze investigation results.

5. Processing investigation data.

6. Report investigation results.

7. Retain investigation results.

Article 4. Guidelines for overall investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species

1. An overall investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species shall focus on:

a) Components, catches, density, richness, distribution and reserves of aquatic species, allowable catches of aquatic resources;

b) Biological characteristics of aquatic species;

c) Environment, hydrology, oceanography and other aquatic animals related to aquatic resources;

d) Other contents defined according to requirements for management and sustainable use of aquatic resources.

2. An overall investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species shall be carried out as follows:

a) Design an investigation: collect documents and data on subject and place; design an investigation plan;

b) Prepare for the investigation: provide personnel, equipment and vehicles; design a detailed plan for implementation of the investigation plan.

c) Conduct the investigation: check status of tools and equipment used for the investigation; collect samples of investigation subjects using an appropriate method; analyze and determine samples of components of aquatic resources, catches and biological characteristics of aquatic species; handle sample of each subject in the field using an appropriate method; collect and record information in the field;

d) Analyze investigation results: analyze and handle samples of specimens; biocriteria, samples of bottom deposits, balneological criteria; plankton, benthos; roe, juvenile fish, shrimp larvae, juvenile shrimps;

dd) Process investigation data: use statistical tools and software and other software to analyze and adjust data;

e) Report investigation results: prepare thematic and consolidated reports on assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species;

g) Retain investigation results;

h) Other tasks performed upon request.

Article 5. Guidelines for investigation into commercial fishing

1. An investigation into commercial fishing shall focus on:

a) The number of fishing vessels;

b) Information about the fishing by fishing fleets, catches and prices of caught aquatic products;

c) Collection and analysis of biological samples, particularly collection and analysis of samples of components of species in a group of aquatic products or aquatic species in the catches; collection of samples, measurement of sizes and analysis of biological characteristics of aquatic species in the analyzed samples of components of species.

2. An investigation into and assessment of commercial fishing shall be carried out as follows:

a) Design an investigation: investigation and sample collection must take place in areas where there is a great number of fishing vessels handling aquatic products and various fishing occupations are available. Subjects must be investigated in such a manner as to ensure that all fishing occupations and structure of fishing occupations of a fishing fleet involved in commercial fishing, and catches are aggregated and that biological data on groups of aquatic products in catches is obtained.

b) Prepare for the investigation: provide personnel, equipment and vehicles; design an implementation plan;

c) Conduct the investigation: enumerate fishing vessels; collect information about fishing by fishing vessels, catches, prices of caught aquatic products; collect and analyze biological samples;

d) Analyze investigation results: analyze samples of components of species of product groups, fisheries biological samples;

dd) Process investigation data: use statistical tools and software and other software to analyze and adjust data;

e) Report investigation results: report current commercial fishing, fisheries biology and fisheries management solutions.

g) Retain investigation results;

h) Other tasks performed upon request.

Article 6. Guidelines for thematic investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species

1. A thematic investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species shall focus on at least one of the contents specified in Clause 1 Article 4 of this Circular.

2. A thematic investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species shall be carried out as prescribed in Clause 2 Article 4 of this Circular.

Article 7. Results of investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species

Results of investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species include:

1. Data on investigation into aquatic resources and commercial fishing.

2. Thematic reports on each content and subject; consolidate reports on results of investigation into and assessment of aquatic resources and living environment of aquatic species, containing at least: current conditions of aquatic resources, commercial fishing, biological characteristics of aquatic species, environment, hydrology, oceanography, roe, juvenile fish, shrimp larvae, juvenile shrimps and other contents (if any).

3. Map and diagram related to aquatic resources and commercial fishing.

4. Collected, handled and analyzed samples.

5. Other documents (if any).
