Survey : CLIONE 6/1965 (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 21/04/1965 and 09/05/1965 on Clione

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Granton with special small mesh Cod End Codend catch
-   High Speed Tow Net Guildline system 76cm

Survey operations were undertaken on 111 stations

Cuttlefish Diversification (Inshore) 2011/12 - Fisheries Science Partnership

To explore gear configurations that could improve selectivity in the current 
fishery and collect information on the catches, including associated species 
caught, that would help inform managers on management of the resource in 
future.

The survey was carried out over 10 days during November 2011, sailing out of 
Plymouth. The area of operation for the survey was ICES Area VIIe off the 
South Devon coast

The survey was carried out on board the FV Ocean Spirit (Figure 2), a 
steel-hulled trawler of 11.95 m registered length with a 220 kW engine.

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Data Collection Regulation 
Survey, Qtr 1 (FSS: DCRDC);

Six surveys of a series to collect biological data on fish stocks in support 
of the EU Data Collection Regulation (DCR). Fishing was undertaken using a

Occurrences of sensitive fish species in scientific trawl surveys of the Northeast Atlantic 1983-2020

The OSPAR (`https://www.ospar.org/convention`_) fish biodiversity assessment 
concerns sensitive and often rare species in the northeast Atlantic Ocean and 
marginal seas. All fish species captured during fishing on scientific 
groundfish (otter and beam trawl) surveys are recorded but not necessarily 
weighed and measured for length. The biodiversity assessment for sensitive and 
often rare species thus makes use of the occurrences (presence and absences) 
of a species only.

A list of sensitive fish species was developed to guide the work for the OSPAR 
fish biodiversity assessment. The list was created by first collating all 
sensitive fish species recorded on international and national hard law lists, 
Regional Seas Conventions lists, International Agreement Lists, relevant IUCN 
Red List species (classified as EX, CR, VU or EN) and all ICES and academic 
work to identify sensitive fish species. From this extensive list of species, 
species were removed if they did not occur in the OSPAR area of the Northeast 
Atlantic Ocean. Remaining species were divided by region; Bay of Biscay and 
Iberian Coast, Celtic Seas, Greater North Sea, Norwegian Sea and parts of 
Macaronesia where data was available. Those species whose normal distribution 
was at the very edge of an OSPAR region were not assessed within the region.

Northern North Sea saithe, cod and haddock 2003/04 - Fisheries Science Partnership

FSP project carried out on the otter trawl fishery for saithe in the northern 
North Sea in autumn 2003. The project used two trips of a commercial stern 
trawler, the FV Farnella between 18 September and 5 October. The work plan 
involved otter trawling under dispensation from the quota regulations on 
grounds chosen by the vessel skippers in consultation with CEFAS.

Total catches of all saithe, cod, and haddock were weighed and classified as 
'discarded' or 'retained' according to advice from the fishing crew. Samples 
of these species from most hauls were also measured individually to obtain 
length frequency distributions. Otoliths were collected from 382 saithe and 22 
cod.

*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.

Multibeam Sidescan Sonar Marine Habitats Survey Trial 2011/12 - Fisheries Science Partnership

A project trialling the deployment of a multibeam echosounder from a fishing 
vessel off Northeast England. The project was a novel programme in which the 
commercial potting vessel *Providence* was chartered to undertake an 
acoustic seabed survey to assess the character of the seabed using 
state-of-the-art scientific equipment. This was done to assess whether the 
fishing industry can play a role collecting seabed habitat data to address the 
UK's need for such data by deploying a multibeam echosounder from a fishing 
vessel.
