The IOTC Working Party on Data Collection and Statistics has been mandated to compile all recommendations from the different IOTC Working Parties and other technical bodies and assess the status of implementation of recommendations in the countries concerned.

Table 1 (click here) lists the parties that have fisheries in the Indian Ocean; the recommendations that have been addressed to each party can be reviewed by clicking Rec, in the column Recommendations.

Table 2 (click here) shows the list of recommendations that have not been addressed to specific parties and therefore refer to all countries having fisheries for the species indicated.

The Notes for the completion of IOTC forms provide information on the use of IOTC forms for the reporting of statistics for IOTC and related species.
