If your Member State’s samplings are carried out by another Member State under a bi- or multilateral agreement, put a row in this table referring to the other Member State’s sampling scheme identifier. List the agreement in Table 1.3 and specify its name, even if it is part of an RWP, and the MS conducting the sampling, in the ‘WP comments’ column.
The sampling scheme identifier must be unique across the tables, so if you describe e.g. stomach sampling separately in Annex 1.1, the stomach sampling scheme identifier must differ from the research survey acronym. In this case you may add ‘stomach’ to the survey acronym.
Opportunistic (O) or planned (P) sampling If the number of individuals sampled is related to sampling schemes in 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 enter ‘O’ (‘opportunistic’) and no figures (‘NA’) in the ‘Number of individuals to sample’ column.

Number of individuals to sampleEnter ‘NA’ in case of an Opportunistic sampling (‘O’) and a planned number of individuals in case of a Planned sampling (‘P’). Enter ‘0’ in case no collection is planned for a given year. For shared sampling under multilateral agreements or regional WPs, if your MS conducts the planned sampling, enter the total planned number of individuals for all MSs under the agreement. If your MS does not conduct sampling, enter ‘0’.
Regional work plan nameIndicate the name of the regional work plan in force if any. Use the name as indicated in the RWP.

Activity indicatorIf you divide a fleet segment into different activity levels, use ‘L’ for the low activity vessels and ‘A’ for the normal economic activity vessels. The sum of the vessels with ‘L’ and ‘A’ activities should be equal to the total population of that segment. If an activity level is not applied, use ‘NA’. The methodology for how to apply activity level is provided in Recommendation 5 of PGECON 2018. See MasterCodeList 'Activity indicator'.
Segment or cluster name

For fleet segmentation, see the code lists ‘Fishing technique’ and ‘Length class’ in the MasterCodeList. Enter the name of a segment or a cluster, in case of clustering.

Use the naming convention from Table 8 of the EU MAP Delegated Decision annex. Put an asterisk if the segment has been clustered with other segment(s) for data collection purposes, e.g. ‘Beam trawlers 0-< 6 m*’. See WP guidance for Text Box 5.2 point 1. Table 3.1 should include only the segments which are reported in Table 5.1.
