The EU master data register uses FAO codes to describe fishing areas. The FAO codes follow a hierachical structure through areas, subareas, division, subdivision and unit. For example the IVa subdivision in the North Sea is "27.4.a". See http://www.fao.org/fishery/area/search/en and http://ec.europa.eu/fisheries/cfp/control/codes/index_en.htm
