Survey : SLAN/2/1950 (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 18/01/1950 and 23/01/1950 on Sir Lancelot

Equipment used during this survey :

North East coast cod 2005/06 - Fisheries Science Partnership survey

The North East (NE) Coast (of England) cod survey is a designated time-series 
survey conducted since 2003 as part of the UK Fisheries Science Partnership 
(FSP). The NE Coast cod surveys in 2003 and 2004 were largely exploratory, 
examining factors such as the effect of gear type and time of day on catch 
rates of cod and other species. The objective of the survey series is to 
provide year-on-year comparative information on distribution, relative 
abundance and size/age composition of NE coast cod and whiting. The surveys 
also provide data on catches of other species important to the NE coast 
fishery, including haddock.

survey taking place in November each year using the standard Cefas bass trawls 
(deployed port and starboard). This survey was co-funded and co-staffed by the 
Environment Agency.

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Blackwater Herring Survey

A series of cruises carried out from 1989 to 2009 each November on the INA-K 
in the Thames Estuary. The aims of which were to assess the state of herring
(*Clupea harengus*) stocks through measurements of length samples and by 
ageing a stratified selection of fish. The latter was also to determine the 
stock split between North Sea and Thames fish as there is a great deal of 
mixing of stocks in the area. Stock identification was done by a combination 
of first year growth observed in the otolith and the maturity stage of the 
fish.

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

*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.
