North East coast cod 2012/13 - 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 : SLAN/14/1953 (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 09/08/1953 and 22/08/1953 on Sir Lancelot

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Otter trawl Codend catch

Survey operations were undertaken on 36 stations

East Greenland cod 2005/06 - Fisheries Science Partnership

A Fisheries Science Partnership survey was carried out in September 2005 to 
provide information on cod in selected areas at east Greenland. A particular 
focus was the relative abundance of cod of the 2003 year-class, which a trawl 
survey carried out in 2004 by the Institute of Fisheries in Germany (RV Walter 
Herwig) indicated was the second strongest since 1982.The stern trawler FV 
Farnella was chartered under the FSP to complete 35 stations in strata 6.1, 
6.2 and 7.2 fished during the Walter Herwig survey since 1982.

One of the Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) survey series of Western 
Channel sole and plaice. The survey’s main aim is to show trends in the 
distribution, abundance and age composition of sole (*Solea solea*) and 
plaice (*Pleuronectes platessa*), and to provide some information on bycatch 
species. At each station sampled, shot and haul, positional, depth and times 
information were recorded, and for all species of fish and shellfish length 
distribution data were taken. Otoliths were collected from sole and plaice to 
provide individual age at length information.
