Survey : CORA/13/1971 (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 11/08/1971 and 24/08/1971 on Corella

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Otter Trawl 78ft Granton Heavy ground gear wooden otter boards

Survey operations were undertaken on 10 stations

North Sea plaice and lemon sole 2004/05 - Fisheries Science Partnership

Three surveys of plaice and lemon sole on the fishing grounds off the NE coast 
of England and east coast of Scotland, using commercial twin-rig Scraper 
trawls. To examine the catch composition in this fishery, particularly the 
bycatch of cod. To compare the catches between 100mm and 120mm mesh cod-ends, 
especially in relation to the retention of lemon soles, and to compare the 
catches between various combinations of cod-end mesh and square-mesh-panels.

*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

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.

Physical and chemical properties of seawater for the North Sea, in each month of 1976

Series of 12 cruises carried out by Cefas in 1976 on board RV Corella and RV 
Clione, resampling a grid of fixed stations every month throughout 1976. Data 
provided: date; station number; time; position (latitude and longitude); 
depth; tide direction; wind speed and direction. Environmental variables 
measured include: temperature (surface and bottom), saliny, transparency (%), 
nutrient concentrations (nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, silicate); chlorophyll-a 
(total and nano); phaeophytin (total and nano). These data have been converted 
into digital format (excel files); however there is more data collected during 
the same survey (e.g. fish stomach content; fish larvae counts; phytoplankton 
counts) that has not been converted and is still in paper format (paper 
records are kept by Steve Milligan, Plankton Lab).

Seawater temperature records for the UK Shelf - 15 - RV Cefas Endeavour FerryBox Monitoring System

This dataset has been extracted as part of an exercise to assemble "all" Cefas 
Temperature Data and publish it in a Data paper. It is one of 17 Cefas data 
sources assembled. Ferryboxes are packages of instruments that are usually 
placed on board commercial ships such as ferries to monitor temperature, 
salinity and other water properties. This data series is from 2009-2013 from 
the cruises of the RV Cefas Endeavour. The RV Cefas Endeavour was commissioned 
in 2003 and fitted with a FerryBox system in 2009. Unlike most FerryBox 
systems (see `http://www.ferrybox.org`_ and 
`http://noc.ac.uk/ocean–watch/shallow–coastal–seas/ferrybox`_), RV Cefas 
Endeavour runs a combination of regular (usually annual) monitoring cruises in 
UK Shelf waters (with a focus on ICES Mandated Surveys for fisheries 
assessments) and bespoke research cruises. This provides a widespread coverage 
with some repeat components in time and space.

Irish Sea Plankton Survey - RV Clione 05/85

Between March and June of 1982 and 1985 a series of plankton surveys was 
carried out in the western Irish Sea to determine the distribution and 
abundance of the larvae of *Nephrops norvegicus* L. Plankton samples were 
collected at each site on a planned survey grid. In addition to Nephrops 
larvae, fish eggs and larvae were also analysed. The data described here 
consists of the numbers of Nephrops larvae and fish eggs and larvae identified 
from the main net samples collected on the survey in April 1985, along with 
associated positional and ancillary data and volumes filtered.

Area VII 120mm Square Mesh Panel Evaluation 2015/16 - Fisheries Science Partnership

A trial undertaken to evaluate the performance of a 120mm square mesh panel 
(SMP) recently regulated in the Celtic Sea for TR1 and TR2 otter trawlers. The 
use of this gear modification has been mandatory in ICES areas VIIf, g and 
northern VIIj since 2015. The trial, commissioned and funded from the Defra 
Fisheries Science Partnership programme to meet the UK commitments made at the 
EU December Council meetings in 2014, was to assess improvements in 
selectivity using the larger mesh SMP, particularly for haddock and cod, in 
the context of the landing obligation, and to determine the potential economic 
consequences of using this gear design.
