Survey : CORE/09/1975 (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 03/06/1975 and 08/06/1975 on Corella

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Historic Granton otter trawl

Survey operations were undertaken on 16 stations

21 different species were caught on this survey

Survey : EHOLT/03/1949 (part of Historic Arctic Survey Series)

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

*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.

Inshore longline fisheries in the Southern North Sea 2019/20 - Fisheries Science Partnership

This work was carried out as part of the Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) 
programme. The overall aims of this project were to examine i) the seasonal 
catch rates of fish taken in the southern North Sea demersal longline fishery; 
ii) catch composition of all discarded and retained fish; iii) vitality of 
commercially important skate and ray species, focusing on thornback ray 
*Raja**clavata*; iv) post-release behaviour and discard survival of 
discarded thornback ray through an electronic tagging programme.

On each occasion longlines were deployed, the positional information, soak 
times, and number of hooks/baths were recorded, and for all species of fish 
length distribution data were taken.

For electronically tagged fish the release date, release position and 
individual length, wing width, sex and maturity were recorded.

North Sea plaice and lemon sole 2006/07 - 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.
