Survey : HUXL/62/1905 (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 22/08/1905 and 29/08/1905 on Huxley

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Beam Trawl 2m Shrimp net 3 chains No liner
-   Sole trawl with bobbins codend catch

Survey operations were undertaken on 14 stations

26 different species were caught on this survey

Western cod 2004/05 - Fisheries Science Partnership

The second survey of three in a series of FSP surveys of cod in the Bristol 
Channel and Celtic Sea. The first two surveys took place in spring 2004 and 
2005 on FV Our Josie Grace, a commercial trawler based in Ilfracombe. 
Programme 7 in 2006 used the same vessel for 20 days between 5 February and 17 
March. Tows were carried out in and close to the three ICES rectangles closed 
to fishing in spring, and in the Bristol Channel, using twin-rig and 
single-rig nets with 85mm codends. The objectives of the 2006 FSP survey were 
to investigate the potential of the western cod FSP survey for providing 
time-series data on abundance and population structure of cod, and to examine 
the distribution of a range of species in and near the closed rectangles.

Digitised fish spawning distribution adapted from the Olsen 1883 Piscatorial Atlas

The dataset is a collection of Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefiles 
showing the general distribution and spawning distribution of 14 fish species 
selected from the 46 maps in O.T. Olsen's Atlas (
`https://wellcomecollection.org/works/up4zvcsn`_) based on their relevance to 
the present day spawning datasets and commercial importance: cod, haddock, 
herring, lemon sole, mackerel, plaice, sole, whiting, skate, thornback ray, 
ling, horse mackerel, hake and sprat (general distribution only). The majority 
of the Olsen (1883) maps were for species either no longer considered in a 
large commercial capacity in UK waters (e.g. anchovy, garfish, tusk etc.) 
and/or had no comparative present day dataset available (e.g. mussels, turbot 
etc.). The data complements the present day fish spawning datasets, in:

British waters. *Published and distributed by UKOOA Ltd*, *9*.

Predictor variables and sedimentation rate samples used to predict sedimentation rates within the Baltic Sea from 1992 - 2017

Input data used to predict sedimentation rate for the Baltic Sea. Observation 
data includes: Sedimentation rate data derived from isotope 137Cs tracers and 
pseudo-samples of zero sedimentation rate randomly placed in areas of rocky 
habitat. Sixteen predictor variables were considered for use in the 
sedimentation rate model. These were: Bathymetric Position Index (at three 
neighbourhood sizes); the Standard Deviation of bathymetry (at three 
neighbourhood sizes); Distance from Rivers (three layers representing 
different river catchment sizes); Substrate class (developed at a 1:1,000,000 
scale for the Baltic Sea, classified to Folk5 level); satellite derived 
estimate for Suspended Particulate Matter in the water column (a winter and 
summer layer); Orbital Velocity at the seabed (a winter and summer layer); and 
Current Speed (a winter and summer layer).

Annual research vessel surveys in the Western English Channel using 4m beam

North East coast cod 2011/12 - 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.
