Survey : HUXL/104/1908 (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 18/08/1908 and 24/08/1908 on Huxley

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Beam Trawl 2m shrimp net fryma liner 3 chains x
-   Benthic Sampling Gear Conical Dredge Plymouth fine mesh
-   Grimsby style otter trawl Codend with mesh 6.8cm
-   Lowestoft smack beam trawl 43ft 13.1m

Survey : EHOLT/03/1951 (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 took place between 25/04/1951 and 19/05/1951 on Ernest Holt

North East coast cod 2004/05 - 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.

Survey : INA K 1/08 (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 16/11/2008 and 27/11/2008 on INA K

CLiP South Africa Marine Litter Accumulation Study (Cefas-UKZN) 2019

This dataset contains 2 csv files. The file 
South_Africa_Marine_Litter_Data.csv contains data on marine litter found 
during beach surveys in Umhlanga (north of Durban) and Amanzimtoti (south of 
Durban) in South Africa in September 2019. The number of items and the weight 
in kg is reported for each litter category. Each survey is named with the 
name of the location plus a capital letter between A and L for Amanzimtoti; 
and between A and K for Umhlanga. The capital letter indicates the order of 
the returning surveys at the same site. The list of item categories was obtain 
merging OSPAR and Tangaroa Blue protocols with the addition of region-specific 
items. Item categories marked with '*' were added during the operations in 
South Pacific, item categories marked with '**' were added during the 
operations in Belize, and item categories marked with '***' were added during 
the operations in South Africa. An array of metadata (location names, survey 
date, GPS coordinates in decimal degrees) is also reported per each data 
point. 

The file South_Africa_Marine_Litter_Metadata.csv reports other metadata 
collected during the surveys following the OSPAR protocol to describe 
factors potentially influencing litter characteristics. A READ-ME text file 
contains a legend of the columns of the csv files.
