Survey : HUXL/39/1904 (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 15/09/1904 and 20/09/1904 on Huxley

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Lowestoft smack beam trawl 43ft 13.1m

Survey operations were undertaken on 23 stations

*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

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 2004/05 - Fisheries Science Partnership

Fisheries Science Partnership Programme 9, carried out in December 2004. 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.

River Tyne to Druridge Bay Mixed Crab and Lobster Survey 2007/08 - Fisheries Science Partnership

The fishing vessel *Wendy Patricia* was chartered between August and 
October 2007 to carry out a potting survey and an acoustic survey in the mixed 
crab and lobster fishery in an area off the northeast coast from the river 
Tyne to Druridge Bay. The main objective was to investigate the population 
structure of edible crabs in relation to the characteristics of the seabed. 
Fishing positions were spread throughout the survey area but most stations 
were in Whitley Bay and north of Newbiggin, corresponding to the pre-survey 
positions of the gear. Sidescan sonar and underwater video were used during 
the acoustic survey to map ground types in proximity to the fishing positions. 
The fishing survey took place in late August and early September and the 
acoustic survey was carried out in October.

Small Scale Semi‐Pelagic Trawling Trial in the South West 2018/19 - Fisheries Science Partnership

This work was carried out as part of the Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) 
programme. The fishing vessel *Imogen 3* PZ 110 was chartered to undertake 
the trials in the South West of England otter trawl fishery in August and 
September 2018. Eleven days of fishing trials were conducted in ICES area 
VIIE, statistical rectangles 28E3 and 28E4, with a total of 27 hauls 
completed, 25 of these were considered valid for examination. The specific 
objective of this trial was to investigate the operation and profitability of 
a semi‐pelagic trawl towed higher in the water column to catch non‐quota 
species. It was thought that John Dory (*Zeus faber*), Hake (*Merluccius 
merluccius*), Black Seabream (*Spondyliosoma cantharus*), Cuttlefish (
*Sepia officinalis*) and Squid (*Loligo forbesi *& *Loligo vulgaris*) 
could be caught in greater quantities than when using a demersal trawl.

Survival of discarded sole in inshore trawl fishery 2016/17 - Fisheries Science Partnership

The objective of this project was to assess and estimate the survivability of 
sole caught in the Solent (ICES Subarea VIId) inshore otter trawl fishery. 
This project follows a previous study of the east coast (ICES Subarea IVc) 
inshore otter trawl fishery and was designed to improve the confidence in a 
fishery wide estimate of sole survival in inshore trawling. There is a strong 
perception from the fishing industry that sole has a high survival rate in 
this fishery and, where sole quotas are restricted, landing undersized sole 
could potentially risk a premature end to the fishing season. Under the 
landing obligation, all sole (*Solea solea*) catches must be landed unless 
an exemption, based on scientific evidence demonstrating high survival, is 
awarded.
