Survey : GEBL/F/1928 (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 01/05/1928 and 04/05/1928 on GBligh

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Lowestoft No 3 trawl with 75mm CodEnd with cover

Benthic State and Change in UK Marine waters. English Channel benthic sampling 2005

Sampling of the biological and physical characteristics of 155 stations in the 
English Channel, Celtic Seas and the North Sea. This data is specifically from 
the English Channel samples, collected in 2005 and details the abundance of 
macrofauna found in each sample.

Environmental variables quantified for each station included bathymetry 
(except North Sea and western Scotland), stratification, bottom temperature 
and a number of derived granulometric parameters (e.g., % silt, % gravel, 
sorting coefficient, skewness, kurtosis), together with modelled parameters 
such as bed tidal stress, wave stress, bottom temperature, a stratification 
index and satellite-derived surface chlorophyll a (mean values for 2002-07 
used). 

Estimates of the benthic productivity associated with such communities were 
also derived, for the first time, at this large spatial scale.

Survey : EHOLT/03/1956 (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.

North Sea pout bycatch mitigation 2003/04 - Fisheries Science Partnership

Fisheries Science Partnership Programme 9, carried out in December 2003. The 
Programme was set up to investigate the extent to which a sieve net, 
incorporated into an industrial fishing trawl, could reduce the by-catch of 
whitefish whilst retaining sufficient catches of the target species Norway 
pout (*Trisopterus esmarkii*) in the northern North Sea. Sieve nets (also 
known as veil nets) are curved cone-shaped funnels of netting traditionally 
fitted to the inside of beam trawls used for brown shrimps, to reduce the 
by-catch of unwanted fish.

survey each year has taken place.

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Blackwater Herring Survey 
(FSS: INA K HER);

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.
