The amount of compensation for the inability to obtain income from these areas depends on the scale of historical fishing – the larger the catches, the higher the compensation.

The best year in terms of catches is considered.

• fishing sites (farm/cable route)
• factors such as: increased distance to the fishery, increased wear and tear on the vessel, longer crew work, higher fuel consumption.
