Cumulative and average beam and pelagic trawling fishing hours in the Adriatic Sea for the period 2015-2022

An enhanced version of the R4AIS workflow (Galdelli et al., 2021) was used to process T-AIS data, with a poll frequency of 5 min, of fishing vessels operating in the Adriatic Sea during 8 years (2015-2022). Data of vessels categorized as beam trawlers and pelagic trawlers were aggregated to obtain cumulative (fahs) and average (mfahs) fishing hours by fishing category at 0.1°. Maps of beam and pelagic trawling fishing activity were created at 0.1°.
