North Sea  Eliminator type gear trials 2009/10 - Fisheries Science Partnership

To provide new information on comparative catch profiles of the "eliminator" 
trawl to those from a conventional trawl fitted with belly cod-escape panels. 
And to address industry concerns that the "eliminator" trawl is not the only 
trawl design, which can effectively reduce cod catches in the North Sea.

Survey : GEBL/D/1939 (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 15/02/1939 and 20/02/1939 on GBligh

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Data Collection Regulation 
Survey, Qtr 1 (FSS: DCRDC);

Six surveys of a series to collect biological data on fish stocks in support 
of the EU Data Collection Regulation (DCR). Fishing was undertaken using a 
Portuguese High Headline Trawl (PHHT) and 4m Beam Trawl, using a subset of the 
station grid previously fished on Cefas Celtic Sea Groundfish Surveys. The 
station grid was not a fixed target and was deviated from as dictated by 
weather, catch rates and/or sampling needs.

Ichthyoplankton Analysis Data from the UK's Western Coastal Shelf 2016

Ichthyoplankton abundance data (fish eggs and larvae) to study the Spatial 
abundance of the species in 2016 from the western approaches of the Celtic sea 
in the region between 48 degrees N and 54.5 degrees N between March and 
August along the western continental shelf from France to the waters around 
the middle of Ireland. These samples were loaned to Cefas by ICES WGMEGS 
participating nations that collected the samples. The dataset consists of 551 
samples split across 6 different time periods with a total of 59,160 eggs of 
which 45,721 identified to 30 different taxa and 78,067 larvae of which 69,894 
were identified to 72 different taxonomic groups. Within the data set the date 
and time is recorded along with the latitude and longitude position. For each 
entry at maximum depth the profiler reached and the total volume of seawater 
filtered (m3), calculated by flowmeters, is recorded for each record.

*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.
