Gridded data shows the spatial distribution of commercial fishing harvest and landed values in British Columbia's exclusive economic zone on a 1km x 1km planning grid. The dataset aggregates annual average landed weight in kilograms and landed catch values in 2016 Canadian dollars for 13 distinct fisheries, with time series spanning 5 to 10 years depending on the fishery. Data originates from logbook records and fish slips submitted to Fisheries and Oceans Canada by commercial fishing fleets.
A privacy Rule of Five is applied, averaging data from grid cells with fewer than 5 unique vessels; users should review the PDF documentation for methodology details. Data is provided in multiple formats (ESRI REST, FGDB/GDB, CSV), requiring appropriate GIS or data analysis tools for full utilization.
