Fishing years

Trawling effort is reported by ‘fishing year’, which runs from 1 October to 30 September of the next year. For ease of reference, a fishing year takes its name from the second of the two calendar years. For example, because most of the 1989–1990 fishing year is in 1990, it is referred to as the 1990 year.
