Catch based quota entitles a fisher to catch a certain amount (usually in kgs or tonnes) of a fish species, fish stock, or sometimes a group of species/stocks, in a fishing season which can be up to a year in length. Fishing boats must have enough fishing quota to cover the amount of fish that they catch.

The Royal Navy is being deployed to Jersey amid fears that French fishermen will blockade the island's main port on Thursday as the row over post-Brexit fishing arrangements escalates.
On Wednesday night, Boris Johnson sent two patrol vessels to St Helier following a phone call with Senator John Le Fondré, Jersey's Chief Minister.
More than 60 French fishing vessels are expected to arrive in the port on Thursday to protest over access to the waters around the island.
The fishermen – angered by Jersey's decision to place new restrictions on fishing licences permitting access to its waters – have threatened to bring the island "to its knees".
On Wednesday night, a Downing Street spokesman said: "The Prime Minister and Chief Minister stressed the urgent need for a de-escalation in tensions and for dialogue between Jersey and France on fishing access.
"The Prime Minister underlined his unwavering support for Jersey. He said that any blockade would be completely unjustified. As a precautionary measure, the UK will be sending two offshore patrol vessels to monitor the situation."
On Wednesday night the Ministry of Defence said HMS Tamar, which was commissioned last year and is equipped with machine guns, had been deployed and would arrive today. The second, HMS Severn, is also on its way. Boris Johnson 'underlined his unwavering support for Jersey' and said any blockade 'would be completely unjustified' - Hollie Adams/ Bloomberg
I would say you are looking at the wrong profile, or deliberately making things up either way, as per rule I walk away, by the way, my profile is open for anyone to see.
