Survey : SLAN/6/1959 (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 22/04/1959 and 29/04/1959 on Sir Lancelot

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Otter trawl Codend catch

Survey operations were undertaken on 57 stations

22 different species were caught on this survey

Scoping Industry Approaches to Fully Documented Fisheries 2012/13 - Fisheries Science Partnership

The proposed reform to the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) sets out a move to a 
land-all catch policy for EU fishing vessels, with a requirement for full 
reporting of fishing and onboard processing activity. Recent trials in several 
Member States for ‘Fully Documented Fisheries’ (FDFs) operating with catch 
quotas have demonstrated how Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) technology can 
be utilised to deliver the monitoring requirements for FDFs. However, both the 
fishing industry and fisheries managers recognise that REM may not be suitable 
for all fisheries, so there is a need to evaluate REM alongside other 
approaches to documenting activity, such as observers, self-sampling and 
self-reporting reference fleets, so that each approach can be assessed in 
terms of its suitability and applicability to different fisheries. The main 
objective of this study was to explore the applicability of different 
technology and approaches to the full documentation of catch for various types 
of fishing. This includes exploring whether the technologies can deliver the 
information required, what practical considerations need to be taken into 
account, and what industry drivers and incentives are required to deliver 
fully documented catches. This information is required for the successful 
translation of the policy objective into practice. The project had the 
following four main objectives.To establish:


(  1.)What data are required to deliver fully documented fisheries
(  2.)What mechanisms are available to collect the data required for full 
      documentation
(  3.)What are the relative merits of different approaches and technologies
(  4.)Whether different fishery characteristics might benefit from different 
      FDF approaches.

Nematode assemblages from field-sampling and lab based disturbance experiments from the Exe and Lynher estuaries 1995 - 1997

Data consists of presense data of nematode worms, from both sand and mud 
habitats, in the form of count data. Data were collected from both the Exe 
estuary and the Lynher estuary between August 1995 and May 1997. The csv 
file entitled "nematodes_field_exe_lynher_1995_1997" contains data from 
field collected sediments. The csv files entitled 
"nematodes_mud_lab_1995_1997" and "nematodes_sand_lab_1995_1997" contains data 
from laboratory experimental treatments sumulating different types of 
disturbance, including physical disturbance, biological disturbance and 
organic enrichment. The Read Me describes the conditions of each microcosm 
from these experiments.
