Survey : INA K 1/93 (part of Blackwater Herring Survey (FSS: INA K HER))

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Blackwater Herring Survey 
(FSS: INA K HER);

A series of cruises carried out from 1989 to 2009 each November on the INA-K 
in the Thames Estuary. The aims of which were to assess the state of herring
(*Clupea harengus*) stocks through measurements of length samples and by 
ageing a stratified selection of fish. The latter was also to determine the 
stock split between North Sea and Thames fish as there is a great deal of 
mixing of stocks in the area. Stock identification was done by a combination 
of first year growth observed in the otolith and the maturity stage of the 
fish.

Survey took place between 17/11/1993 and 28/11/1993 on INA K

*Gadus morhua* (Atlantic Cod) stocks in the Barents Sea are currently at 
levels not seen since the 1950s. Causes for the population increase last 
century, and understanding of whether such large numbers will be maintained in 
the future, are unclear. To explore this, we digitised and interrogated 
historical cod catch and diet datasets from the Barents Sea. Data includes 
temporal and spatial information, cod catch data and length distributions, and 
hydrographic data.

Nematode assemblages from trawling experiments at two stations in the southern North Sea, 1999-2000

Data is presented as counts of nematode worms present in samples obtained from 
two locations in the southern North Sea, the Western Mud Hole and the 
Botney Cut. These data are results of trawling experiments conducted from 
October 1999 to November 2000. Samples were collected from impact site A and 
an untrawled control site B at both locations.

Data including the biomass and abiotic factors of the sampling locations are 
also available.

Station and biological data collected during research surveys carried out by 
Cefas (formerly Directorate of Fisheries) in seas around the UK, mostly in the 
North Sea, since 1902. The survey hauls are not laid out systematically as a 
grid, as in current International Bottom Trawl Surveys (IBTS) and are widely 
distributed over (especially) southern and central North Sea areas. Gears and 
protocols were not standardised throughout, due to the long term nature of the 
series. Surveys took place in each season. Data are lacking for the periods of 
both World Wars. In some periods (e.g. the early 1900s), all species caught 
were recorded, whereas in other periods (e.g. 1920s-30s), only the key 
commercial species (e.g., Plaice, Sole and Cod) were recorded systematically. 
Note that some surveys targeted particular species (notably Plaice).

Observations of Cod at Greenland 2010/11 - Fisheries Science Partnership

During the May, June and July 2010, the fishing vessel *Marbella *carried 
out commercial fishing for Greenland cod (*Gadus morhua*) off the east coast 
of Greenland. Some hauls were targeted at Greenland halibut *(*
*Reinhardtius hippoglossoides*). The purpose of this report is to fulfil the 
Greenlandic Authorities’ requirement to present observer-collected information 
on cod (for details see below), so the results for Greenland halibut (and 
other species taken) are not presented.

In all, 116 tows targeting cod were carried out in two areas off the east 
coast of Greenland, of which 46 where sampled for length and 40 of the 46 for 
otoliths and other biological information. Discarded cod amounted to just 
0.08% of the total catch of the species (some of these fish were damaged on 
hauling and processing).

regions between 1998-2005. These stations were defined as Environmental 
Assessment Reference Stations (EARS). Data is selected site monitoring,

This data was part of a continuation of a time-series under a previous Defra

acquired and existing data from each of the three sampling locations has been 
analysed independently following a standardised analytical approach and
