Quota
E-Catch is also fitted with a module to monitor your quota usage. This quota management is found on the main toolbar in E-Catch under the button “Quota”.
The Quota module allows you to monitor status of your quota but it also keeps track of your fishing days. As seen in the example picture below this vessel made a few fishing days but none of his fishing activities affected his quota.
