Fig. 3. Relative extent of transshipment for different types of fishing gear.

The fishing effort (estimated fishing hours) that is (A) landed directly in port versus (B) transshipped and brought to port by reefer is shown. Data are separated by fishing gear type (left) and for EEZs versus the high seas. Data include fishing vessels that, at least once, have met up with a reefer. Gears represent more common gears used by fishing vessels involved in encounters. Pictograms denote major target species by gear type.
