World list of seaports. In its 2021 version, the repository includes 13709 ports for 187 countries. The list of seaports has been drawn up on the basis of the information available in the European reference system of places used in the framework of the Common Fisheries Policy and, more particularly, by the Electronic Recording and Reporting System (ERS), the list of ports identified by the UNECE (2021-1). An assessment of the infrastructures present along the coastline made it possible to identify other ports that were not listed. Each geographical position has been verified with Google Earth in WGS84. Each port is associated with information relating to the country (ISO 3 coding), the UNECE or ERS 5-character coding, the name, the geographical position in WGS84 (latitude and longitude), the status of the port indicating whether it is referenced by Unece (UNECE), by the EU/ERS (ERS) or by both (UNECE/ERS) In case the port is not referenced by UNECE or ERS, the status is N/A. For French ports, the reference system integrates the ports of the French overseas departments and territories with the national codification. Inland ports have also been integrated in 2021.

Ecological study of coastal nurseries in the Bay of Biscay: abundance and the quality of benthic and demersal fish juveniles (targeted species: common sole, Solea solea L.), biological indicators, relationship with the physical parameters of the habitats (bathymetry, sediments, hydrology) and with associated epibenthic populations (trawls for observing invertebrates).

The 62 RESSGASC campaigns allow the quarterly assessment of the quantities of various species (hake, sole, Norway lobster, etc.) discarded by fishing vessels (individuals below legal landing size). This information, together with data collected from the demographic structure of landings (using samples from auctions), is essential for the evolution of commercial fish stocks.

The activity calendars of fishing vessels reconstituted each year provide access to the following monthly fishing data: main operating port, number of pepole on board, number of days at sea and of, trade (s) practiced ( s), exploited fishing areas and their distance from the coast. Annual data on the dimension and mesh size of the engines used to practice a trade are also provided.

The "Sales" data in the declarative flow contain mainly auction sales data and some non-exhaustive data on non-auction sales.

A metier in the Fisheries Information System is a fishing practice defined by a fishing gear and a target species. They are used for statistical purposes to evaluate fishing strategies and efforts.

The NourDem project aims to carry out annual trawling cruises in the three estuaries of the Seine, the Loire and the Gironde.

The gear repository of the Fisheries Information System includes, on the one hand, the FAO fishing gears enriched with national specificities and, on the other hand, the sampling gears used during the fisheries surveys conducted by Ifremer and its partners.

Avant le 1er janvier 2016, la France comptait 27 régions : - 22 régions en France métropolitaine (en comptant la Corse). - 5 régions d'outre mer : la Guadeloupe, la Martinique, la Guyane, la Réunion et Mayotte (depuis 2011). Bien qu'obsolète, ce référentiel est conservé dans le Système d'Informations Halieutiques pour les données historiques.

The scientific species repository of the Fisheries Information System lists the species observed during fishing campaigns or within the framework of the observations of collection programmes (ObsVentes, ObsMer, Campaigns, etc.).
