Since 1996 under the support project “Assessment of Living Marine Resources in Vietnam” funded by the Danish Government, the Research Institute for Marine Fisheries of Vietnam has established several databases for data entry of fisheries in general and for trawl fisheries in particular. These are the survey database, logbook database, observer database and enumerator database (Figure 1). These databases were developed in Microsoft Access 1995, 1997 and 2000 integrated with Mapinfo 6.0 for mapping.
