Regional DataBase, RDB, commercial fisheries data

The Regional DataBase (RDB) was a regionally coordinated platform for fisheries data used in EU assessments from 2012 to 2023. It stored commercial landing, effort, and sample data provided by EU countries, covering fisheries in the North Atlantic, North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Long-Distance Fisheries. Originally supported by the FishFrame interface for data upload and validation, the system is now replaced by RDBES for data calls and uploads. The data in the RDB remains available but is no longer accessible through the previous web interface. Access is granted upon request and subject to permission from the countries that provided the data.
