Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fishing fleet profile aims to assist in understanding the complexity and structure of fisheries from a technical and socio-economic point of view, or from the point of view of fishing strategies. A profile consists of analysing the characteristics of individual units of the fleet, for example the boats, in order to classify these units. This document describes the steps necessary to produce such a profile, from planning and the implementation of the fleet survey, through data processing to the presentation of the results. The processes of analysis, classification and description require the application of specific statistical methods in order to extract the items of information. Various methods of data analysis are presented here in order to demonstrate their potential uses and relevance to different situations. The Moroccan inshore fishery and the Senegalese small-scale fisheries have been used as examples in this document (FAO Website).
