Survey : CLIO/13/1968 (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 29/11/1968 and 05/12/1968 on Clione

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Historic Granton otter trawl

Survey operations were undertaken on 22 stations

There are over 50 surveys in this series which began in 1983. The aim of these 
are to provide abundance indices of 2-4 year old bass. The catch density of 
other species taken is also recorded. The survey was undertaken twice yearly 
during May and September for most years up to 2009. Since then one September 
survey each year has taken place.

Western Channel sole and plaice 2017/18 - Fisheries Science Partnership

One of the Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) survey series of Western 
Channel sole and plaice. The survey’s main aim is to show trends in the 
distribution, abundance and age composition of sole (*Solea solea*) and 
plaice (*Pleuronectes platessa*), and to provide some information on bycatch 
species. At each station sampled, shot and haul, positional, depth and times 
information were recorded, and for all species of fish and shellfish length 
distribution data were taken. Otoliths were collected from sole and plaice to 
provide individual age at length information.

Survey : EHOLT/01/1950 (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.

North East Coast Net Grid Trials 2013/14 - Fisheries Science Partnership

The twin rig trawler Aquarius II was chartered for ten days in September and 
October 2013 to undertake fishing trials in the Nephrops (*Nephrops 
norvegicus*) fishery off the North east coast of England. The aim of the work 
was to significantly reduce cod catches in this fishery through collective 
action with local fishing skippers. The practical approach taken was to insert 
a design concept under development known as the Net Grid into a trawl and to 
evidence changes in selectivity towards cod and other commercial species under 
normal fishing conditions. The objective of the work was to further develop 
this design with the aim of developing a trawl that reduces catches of cod in 
the English NE Nephrops trawl fishery without losing the target species of 
*Nephrops*.
