Abstract: The objective of fisheries management is the sustainable exploitation of the fish resources over the extent of their spatial distribution. Along with the Common\nFisheries Policy (CFP) objectives, the socio-economic viability of the fisheries exploiting the resource is also to be achieved. To reach these aims, managers need to\ndefine the management units they are going to work with. For the purpose of GEPETO project, we define a management unit (MU) as the set of\nfishing fleets exploiting a common pool of fish resources with strong spatial overlapping and sharing of habitats, which make them being typically fished together.\nIn other words, a MU is the set of fishing fleets exploiting a common fish community over their spatial distribution. MUs have to be defined by the fish community, by the\nspatial range of distribution of the fish community, and by the set of fishing fleets sharing the exploitation of the fish community
