Survey : CLIO/6/1966 (part of CEFAS Historic surveys)

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the CEFAS Historic surveys;

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).

Survey took place between 01/06/1966 and 14/06/1966 on Clione

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Beam Trawl 2m shrimp net fryma liner 3 chains x

Survey : EHOLT/01/1957 (part of Historic Arctic Survey Series)

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Historic Arctic Survey 
Series;

*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.

Area VII Haddock Discard Eliminations using Technical Measures 2013/14 - Fisheries Science Partnership

The twin rig trawler Ocean Spirit was chartered for twelve days in August and 
September 2013 to undertake fishing trials off southwest England. The aim of 
the work was to improve the selective performance of demersal otter trawls to 
reduce unwanted catches of haddock in ICES area VII. The practical approach 
taken was to insert large diamond‐mesh escape panels into the top forward 
sections of the trawl and to evidence changes in selectivity towards haddock 
and other commercial species under normal fishing conditions. The vessel’s own 
commercial twin‐rig trawl was used for the trials; one rig was modified by 
including large diamond‐mesh panel(s), the other was left in its standard 
commercial configuration to provide a direct comparison.

Irish Sea Plankton Survey - RV Clione 07/82

Between March and June of 1982 and 1985 a series of plankton surveys was 
carried out in the western Irish Sea to determine the distribution and 
abundance of the larvae of *Nephrops norvegicus* L. Plankton samples were 
collected at each site on a planned survey grid. In addition to Nephrops 
larvae, fish eggs and larvae were also analysed. The data described here 
consists of the numbers of Nephrops larvae and fish eggs and larvae identified 
from the main net samples collected on a survey carried out in May-June 1982, 
along with associated positional and ancillary data and volumes filtered.
