It is clear that a large amount of data is collected during fishing and processing at Icelandic fisheries companies. This information is often used by themselves in later fisheries management, where specific species or specific units of catch are retrieved. There are also examples of companies using this data in margin calculations for fishing and processing.
This detailed data collection that takes place during fishing, landing and processing at Icelandic fisheries companies can then be used for further processing by regulators or as accompanying data with products to buyers or customs authorities.
The purpose of this document is to show what information is involved, where it is obtained and its flow between parties according to different fishing, processing methods and sales processes.
