Repository for versioning the different generated vessel lists.
This repository will contain three categories of lists.
- Likely fishing lists - lists generated from a query of vessels identifying themselves as fishing in the shiptype_text field in the vessel identity messages in the type 5 and type 24 AIS messages. Details of the query can be found in Benthos #397. In the next round we will filter out some additional "unknown" vessel types and probably drop the threshold to include some vessels that almost always identify themselves as fishing.
- Likelyfishing_2014.csv - Vessels which always identified themselves as fishing throughout 2014
- Known fishing lists - list based on public fishing registry records. A list of registries can be found here.
- Combined fishing lists - Lists produced by combining likely and known fishing lists and then removing sets of known non-fishing vessels (fish carriers, fishspotting helicopters, research vessels) along with short mmsi's (less than 5 digits) and mmsi's that will likely have a large number of spoofing vessels (111111111). See Benthos #397.
- Combinedfishing_2014.csv - from Likelyfishing_2014 and the FFA, CLAV, and CCAMLR registries as described in Benthos #397.
- Combinedfishing_2013.csv - from a an identical query to that used for the Likelyfishing_2014 list but using a 2013 date range. The same registry sources were added in, see Benthos #370. It is difficult to get registry data from previous years, 2014 records were added to this list.
