Survey : SLAN/3/1950 (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 02/02/1950 and 18/02/1950 on Sir Lancelot

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Lowestoft otter trawl codend catch

Survey operations were undertaken on 8 stations

26 different species were caught on this survey

North East coast squid fishery 2006/07  - Fisheries Science Partnership

FSP 2006/07 Programme 20, a trawl and jigging survey of squid off the North 
East coast of England. The survey, on board the chartered vessel FV Nimrod, 
was planned to take place during the fourth quarter of 2006 to coincide with 
the period when squid were being caught in commercially viable quantities in 
the area. A first trip took place from 14 to 20 December 2006 (Part 1) but 
found very few squid, suggesting that squid had already moved away from the 
fishing grounds. The second trip took place from 11 to 17 October 2007 (Part 
2). That survey was one of two surveys which aimed at developing jigging as an 
alternative low-impact method to catch squid with little by-catch. The second 
survey took place off the Western English Channel and is reported separately.

Survey : INA K 1/06 (part of Blackwater Herring Survey (FSS: INA K HER))

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.

Survey took place between 10/11/2006 and 21/11/2006 on INA K

Western Channel sole and plaice 2019/20 - Fisheries Science Partnership

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.
