Data provides the information required by fishery managers to judge the state of the fishery. Without data any assessment of the fishery can only be speculation. To first set up a data collection system consideration and effort should go into describing the goals of the information system (what type of data is required); a definition of the data elements, the methodology that will be used to collect data and whether the data collection system will be continuous or a one-off effort.
