The Composition of the fleet:
The given information (Table 8) presents the composition of the fleet with a total number of
552 designations categorized into different types of vessels. The fleet includes 35 trawlers
which are fishing vessels equipped with large nets (trawls) that are dragged along the seabed or
through the water to catch fish or other marine species. The fleet comprises 151 sardine fishing
boats focusing on sardine fishing. The fleet is not composed of tuna fishing boats and shellfish
gatherers. The "Others" category comprises 366 vessels that do not fall into the specified
categories. These may include various types of fishing boats or vessels engaged in different
fishing activities not specifically mentioned.
This information provides insights into the composition of the fleet, highlighting the
prominence of trawlers and sardine fishing boats. The absence of tuna fishing boats and
shellfish gatherers suggests a potential focus on other types of fishing or a lack of emphasis on
these specific activities within the fleet.
