Ships over 24 meters in length, besides having anti-pollution and safety and rescue equipment, should report their positions and their daily catch, and keep a detailed daily fishing log, recording the season, time, water temperature, depth, longitude and latitude, size of the fish caught, and catch volume. This would allow international organizations to keep track of fish populations and provide data for scientific research.
所謂責任漁業，二十四公尺以上的漁船，除了必須配備防汙染、安全救難的設備，還要自動報告船位及每日漁獲資料，詳細填寫漁撈日誌，記錄季節、時間、水溫、水深、經緯度、魚體大小、數量等資料，以便讓國際組織統計漁獲數量，提供科學家做研究。
