IT Expert with Fisheries Experience

HTSPE is looking for an IT Expert with Fisheries Experience to nominate in their bid for the Lot 1 EU Framework project entitled:

Setting up of a Metier-based Data Analysis and Collection System in Fisheries

Global objective:

To provide assistance to the Republic of Croatia in aligning with the acquis related to data gathering in fisheries in service of achieving the sustainability within the sector.

Specific objective:

To provide assistance to the Directorate of Fisheries in setting up of a metier based data analysis and collection system.

Requested service:

Revision of existing system:

Revising the established metiers and identifying key gaps
Having in mind that the currently implemented IPA 2008 FPP RAC project shall by the end of the project implementation identify basic metiers, the experts are expected to analyse the existing situation identify key gaps and propose recommendation for improvements. This is so particularly due to the fact that the revision of the gears used in commercial marine fisheries is going to take place in the near future.

Introducing necessary changes to close the gaps if necessary
Based on the key gaps identified in the previous activity, experts are expected to present the recommendations to the DoF staff and finalise the process of identification of metiers according to available data and upon discussion with the DoF staff.

Creation of module for managing metiers and sampling plan module:

Creation of a module to manage different métiers in different time periods
Taking into account that metiers can be changed depending of EU needs it is necessary to construct a module to manage different metiers in different time periods.

Creation of a sampling plan module
A sampling plan describing sample numbers and numbers of individuals to be sampled need to be created to ensure that every metier or stock sampled fulfil the requirements established in the national programme. A special module to introduce this information in the Fisheries Information System has to be developed.

Proposing of indicative framework for modules regarding data entry scheme and transversal variables:

Proposing of indicative framework and set-up scheme of data entry module
Experts are expected to anticipate creation of indicative framework set-up scheme and possible start-up solution for the future data entry module which should be envisaged for users who enter the data in the system taking into account the efficiency of the system and employing the existing resources in a most cost effective way. As an output of this activity, Beneficiary expects an elaborative report.

Proposing of indicative framework and set-up scheme for transversal variables module
Experts are expected to anticipate creation of indicative framework and set-up scheme of a module for transversal variables. They should propose set-up scheme considering the importance of transversal variables for the definition of the metiers and taking into account that this project foresees the need for deeper analysis in this area.
