Denne rapporten gir en oversikt over den norske kystfiskeflåten under 21 meter lenge og inngår i et intensjonalt samarbeidsprosjekt om “Kystfiske rundt Nord-Atlanteren“ (“Coastal fishing in the North Atlantic”). Rapporten gir en oversikt over kvotesystemet, fiskerihavner, fartøyenes alder, byggematerialer og motorstørrelse. Fangstdata i verdi og mengde er fordelt på fartøystørrelse, redskap og regioner.
