Type A catch is fish that are brought back to the dock in a form that can be identified by trained interviewers.
Type B1 catch is fish that are used for bait, released dead, or filleted -- i.e. they are killed but identification is by individual anglers.
Type B2 catch is fish that are released alive - again, identification is by individual anglers.
