Survey : CIRO/3B/1975 (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 13/03/1975 and 27/03/1975 on Cirolana

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Historic Granton otter trawl

Survey operations were undertaken on 2 stations

Survival of discarded catch in the Wash Brown Shrimp Fishery 2017/18 - Fisheries Science Partnership

The objectives of this project were to:

• Use captive observations of *Crangon crangon* to assess the survival of 
discarded Crangon in the Wash Brown Shrimp Fishery in vessels using different 
catch sorting devices (rotary riddle and flat screen riddle).

• Assess the vitality and generate inferred survival estimates of discarded 
fish species, primarily plaice and sole, in the Wash Brown Shrimp Fishery in 
vessels using different catch sorting devices (rotary riddle and flat screen 
riddle).

• Identify best practice to minimise discard mortality

*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.

Bristol Channel Bass Selectivity Survey 2009/10 - Fisheries Science Partnership

This work was part of the Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP), a Defra-funded 
collaborative programme of scientific research between the UK fishing industry 
and scientists. Local trawlermen working in the Bristol Channel and the South 
Wales Sea Fisheries Committee suggested that square-mesh panels fitted into 
trawls used to catch bass could reduce discards of undersize bass. A trawl was 
modified to incorporate a square-mesh section and was tested on board the MFV 
Cerulean against a control trawl.

In August 2009, 46 hauls were conducted. Catches were sampled and video 
footage was taken of fish behaviour at the square-mesh section.

South Western Beam Trawl Survey, Qtr 1 (FSS: Q1SWBEAM)

Annual research vessel surveys in the Western English Channel using 4m beam 
trawls in support of EU data regulations and as part of an ICES funded 
research program. Randomly selected survey position design. In 2012 the survey 
coverage was extended to cover the Celtic Sea using both the 4m beam trawl and 
the GOV trawl. In 2013 the survey returned to using the 4m beam trawl only.  
Data captured include station details, catch, length (all species) and 
biological (selected species) data. Additional aims include collection of 
benthic, water temperature and salinity and acoustic data.
