  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">PDFs of unpublished historical 'Statistical Charts' held at the Centre for 
Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas), Lowestoft, UK. These 
charts provide annual and monthly fisheries statistics at a fine spatial scale 
for the period 1913-81 (excluding both World Wars). More specifically, they 
show the annual and monthly landings and catch rates per fish species, and the 
fishing effort for various components of the British commercial fishing fleet. 
These values are indicated separately for each rectangle of 1&#xB0; longitude by 
30' latitude (equivalent to International Council for the Exploration of the 
Sea [ICES] rectangles) as well as for the entire area charted (generally 
equivalent to ICES fishing areas).</dc:description>
