Survey : LEIG/02/1915 (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 03/09/1915 and 10/11/1915 on Leigh on Sea

Equipment used during this survey :


-   peterson young fish trawl

Survey operations were undertaken on 24 stations

15 different species were caught on this survey

RV CORYSTES 08/2001 Low Resolution Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) Data

The data in this archive was collected on CEFAS (Or DFR) research surveys. It 
broadly cover the European Shelf with some data from the Iberian Abyssal 
Plain. Data was collected using the lowered CTD rosette system which is used 
when the vessel is stationary. Usually bottles were fired at particular depths 
and samples taken for calibration. In early years only a limited set of 
parameters were collected. Notably Pressure (Depth), Temperature and 
Conductivity (CTD). From Conductivity Salinity can be calculated using the 
UNESCO 1978,1983 formulations . In subsequent years more sensors have been 
added, notably fluorometers, Optical back scatter or transmissometers and 
Light (PAR, photo synthetically available radiation). The exact configuration 
varies between cruises and this is reflected in the data format of the output 
files.

Data was collected from research vessels on station, a profile from the 
surface to near the sea bed is undertaken. The down cast data should be a 
clean profile. Water bottles for sample collection and calibration are fired 
on the up cast.

Timed searches undertaken by the Marine Biological Association (MBA) to search for non-native species in the Yealm Estuary. Searches primarily focused on the Pacific Oyster (Magallana gigas), although other non-natives were recorded. Abundance was primarily Present/Not present, but in some cases non-standard units of abundance (eg. 'Not common') were used.

These surveys determine the area where live Cockles are present, spatial density and abundance, and the estimated stock (in tonnes). This data informs the Authority's management of the public stocks.
