These data are included in Fage's (1920) report on the Clupeiformes of the Thor expedition. Fage reports (page 63) the sardine catch of the "Fishermen of Colliure", containing informal and unpublished information related to the timing of the capture of the sardine (years 1902-1913), to be compared with the direct data gathered from the expedition. The data are related to species, mentioned with the vernacular name of "sardine", with biomass data (Kg) on a monthly base, covering 12 years (1902-1913) of fishery. As the coordinates of the specific catching area were not reported, the location of Colliure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collioure) was used as geographical reference.
