1 For vessels of SRTM-type, data on fishing effort are unavailable (fishing effort consisted of hand lines, mechanized lines, pot fisheries, bottom longlines and sometimes trawl fisheries).
2 Since exploratory fishing by bottom longline were carried out by chartered vessel from Russian home ports, their catches are not included in the catch statistic of the Ukraine.
