fishing effort

Overall amount of fishing (usually per unit of time) expressed in units such as boat days on the fishing ground, number of traps or trawl haul, etc. It usually relates to a specific fishery and gear. If more than one gear is considered, the fishing effort has to be standardized to ensure proportionality with fishing mortality (biologists' perspective) or cost of fishing (economists' perspective).
