CEDER

The CEDER project is a specific targeted research or innovation project and is
a part of the EU's 6th framework program (FP6).  CEDER's home page is

In order to provide an accurate estimation of the fishing stocks it is imperative to estimate the

amount of fishing activities in different sea areas. The project aims to utilize the technologies of VMS and Electronic logbooks to provide more accurate information on effort, catch and discard.

It is the primary objective of this project to harness technologies in order to provide more accurate and more timely information on catches, effort, landings, discards and quota and TAC uptake and to assess the benefits of this information for fisheries' management.

Until today, reporting of fishing activities has been done manually, and is therefore subject to errors and deceptions. Correlation Systems Ltd. is implementing a behavioral analysis model in order to estimate vessel activities ('effort' model) based on geospatial information provided by Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS).

System evaluation in the North Sea shows that our behavioral analysis model improves the effort estimation by at least 35%.  View a presentation providing an overview of the results

The project includes analyses of vessel’s behavior, and statistical and mathematical modeling tools to explore and quantify relationships between capacity, effort and species mortality, partitioned by fleet and area. This system proposes a series of new models, including an effort model.

The design of the final system:
