Fishery statistics for the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) area were published from 1904 to 1989 under the title "Bulletin Statistique des Pêches Maritimes". The series was renamed "ICES Fisheries Statistics' and continued until 2001. For the period 1999-2004 the data was published on a CD-ROM. Since 2004, Eurostat and ICES have worked together on the processing and publishing of these data: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/fisheries/database
