Ireland Area 7 prawn - trawl

Overview

FIP Description 

The Irish Prawn FIP covers Irish registered fishing vessels targeting Nephrops norvegicus in ICES Area 7. The fleet varies in size from vessels of 12m up to 30m with the majority of landings coming from the larger vessels. The fleet fishes with bottom trawls using either single rig, twin rig, or quad rig set-ups.  Many of the larger vessels have been converted to freezer trawlers over the past 5 years. The part of the fleet which can be defined as FIP members will be those that sign an agreement to become FIP members and to abide by the FIP rules.
