(ii)the fisheries objectives];

(b)[F4requirements in relation to] research surveys at sea;

(c)thresholds below which it is not mandatory [F5to collect data based on fishing and aquaculture activities].

2.The data referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1 shall include:

(a)biological data on all stocks caught or by-caught in F6... commercial and, where appropriate, recreational fisheries in and outside [F7United Kingdom waters], including eels and salmon in relevant inland waters, as well as other diadromous fish species of commercial interest, to enable an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management and conservation as necessary for the [F8regulation and management of fishing activities];

(b)data to assess the impact of [F9fisheries within United Kingdom waters] on the marine ecosystem in and outside [F10United Kingdom waters], including data on by-catch of non-target species, in particular species protected under [F11any law applying in the United Kingdom or any part of it] or international law, data on impacts of fisheries on marine habitats, including vulnerable marine areas, and data on impacts of fisheries on food webs;

(c)data on the activity of [F12United Kingdom fishing vessels] in and outside [F13United Kingdom waters], including levels of fishing, and on effort and capacity of the [F14United Kingdom fleet];

(e)socioeconomic data and sustainability data on marine aquaculture to enable the socioeconomic performance and the sustainability of the [F16United Kingdom] aquaculture sector, including its environmental impact, to be assessed;

(f)socioeconomic data on the fish processing sector to enable the socioeconomic performance of that sector to be assessed.

3.In addition, the data referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1 may include socioeconomic data and sustainability data on freshwater aquaculture to enable the socioeconomic performance and the sustainability of the [F17United Kingdom] aquaculture sector, including its environmental impact, to be assessed.
