Survey : HUXL/50/1905 (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 08/03/1905 and 19/03/1905 on Huxley

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Lowestoft smack beam trawl 43ft 13.1m

Survey operations were undertaken on 14 stations

25 different species were caught on this survey

Survey : EHOLT/04/1956 (part of Historic Arctic Survey Series)

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Historic Arctic Survey 
Series;

*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.

Survey : INA K 1/89 (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.

Western cod 2005/06 - Fisheries Science Partnership

The last 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.
