Fisheries census
Since the 1980s, the Peruvian government has conducted significant data-collection efforts to characterize the country’s artisanal fisheries sector. In 1982, the Fisheries Ministry identified 181 disembarkment sites along the 3,000 kilometres of coastlines. The Ocean’s Institute conducted two surveys of artisanal fisheries in 1996 and 2005 to obtain information on fishing activities, socioeconomic and cultural levels, and track changes over time. Between 2002 and 2003, the Ministry of Production launched a system to collect data on the disembarkment of artisanal fishing from the coast. These studies were carried out mainly in coastal zones, an area that explains more than 90% of the landings of hydrobiological resources, which have filled a great gap in the need to characterize Peruvian artisanal fishing. However, it is still an essential need to carry out a census that allows accurate and updated data to be obtained from a population that shows high rates of variation, dispersion and mobilization.
The I National Census of Artisanal Fisheries in the Maritime Sphere 2012, was conducted in the coast of Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Ancash, Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Moquegua, Tacna and the Constitutional Province of Callao, registering fishermen and craft shipowners at the place where they were at the time of the census, regardless of their habitual residence. The general objective of the census is to collect, process and present basic, economic, up-to-date and reliable statistical information about fishermen, shipowners, vessels, landing points and shipyards for the construction of artisanal fishing vessels on the Peruvian coast.

Data processing
PROCESSING
To ensure the dissemination or reliable and timely information, data processing is centralized at INEI headquarters and processes are systemized. The process begins with the development of data entry and consistency software, digitization of information, the respective processing, and finally ensuring a consistent, coherent, reliable, and timely database is achieved.
I. Development of the Software
This step refers to preparing the necessary software for data entry, form processing, and to check the consistency of the datasets and collected in I CENPAR.
Software is also used to support other activities such as hiring of personnel, monitoring and follow-up activities and processes, document control, repository of questions and answers, and administration of look-up tables
II. Data processing
The information on the completed forms is entered manually into the database. An intelligent data entry program was designed that contemplates all the variables of the census forms.
DATA CONSISTENCY
It comprises the implementation of a set of tasks that aim to ensure that the census information collected is coherent and consistent.
The task also includes coding, which consists of assigning numerical keys or codes to the information in open questions, which allows the information to be processed electronically.
Consistency checks will be carried out by electronic means. There are a set of rules and relationships that the data collected must comply with. In the event that such relationships do not hold, the corresponding amendments to the data must be made.
GENERATION OF THE DATABASE
the information is organized in a relational model. This model allows basic information to be retrieved from the microdata at the level of the statistical units by geographic location, category of the landing point, among others.
