Survey : NUCE/10/1977 (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 04/07/1977 and 07/07/1977 on Nucella

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Beam Trawl 4m steel commercial 3/5 link mat flip up 75mm CE 40mm liner AFT

Survey operations were undertaken on 12 stations

Survival of discarded Plaice in the English NE Nephrops Trawl Fishery 2015/16 - Fisheries Science Partnership survey

The primary objective of this project was to estimate the survival rate of 
discarded plaice caught in the NE *Nephrops* trawl fishery. 

All tows took place in the North Sea at the southern edge of the Farne Deep 
fishing grounds (ICES Division IVb, ICES rectangles 39E8 or 38E8), in depths 
of 40-90m. The vessel used a 73m footrope otter trawl, with codend mesh sizes 
of 80 to 85mm, on muddy sand to target mixed demersal species but the main 
target catch was *Nephrops*, also known as prawn, scampi or langoustine 
(*Nephrops norvigicus*). Catches from two or three tows, of three hours in 
duration, were landed daily representing the normal activity of the fleet 
working this area. The assessment was conducted during two fishing seasons in 
March 2015 and November to January 2016.

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the North Sea Groundfish 
Survey, Qtr 4 (FSS: IBTS4E);

Approximately 70 core trawl stations are completed annually to provide 
distribution and stock composition estimates for fish species. Station, catch, 
length (all species) and biological data (selected species) are collected 
using research vessels and GOV trawls. Benthic catches are also recorded. The 
surveys are carried out in support of EU data regulations and as part of the 
Internation Bottom Trawl survey. Additional aims include collection of water 
temperature, salinity and litter data.

Data from FSP 2007/09 Programme 18 ‘North Sea Codwatch’, which from April 2007 
to March 2009 monitored the status of 1- and 2-year-old cod (Gadus morhua) and 
also of cod and whiting (Merlangius merlangius) (the latter only from June 
2008 on) of all ages in catches in the North Sea made by selected commercial 
vessels associated with the Eastern England Fish Producers Organisation Ltd 
(EEFPO). The Programme from June 2008 to March 2009 was part-funded by a grant

A data product derived from Northeast Atlantic groundfish data from scientific trawl surveys 1983-2020

This is a data product to support state indicators that are based from 
groundfish biological data, derived using primary data from surveys undertaken 
in the Northeast Atlantic between 1983 and 2020. Catch records by taxonomic 
group and by length category in terms of biomass and numbers of fish 
standardised to duration (per hour) or to the area swept by the haul. Data are 
available from multiple surveys using data downloaded from the ICES database 
of trawl surveys (DATRAS) once quality-controlled and standardised following 
procedures detailed in Greenstreet and Moriarty 2017. Data file names reflect 
the OSPAR region sampled, country conducting the sampling, fishing gear and 
time of years of sampling (as defined by Greenstreet and Moriarty 2017), e.g.: 
BBICFraBT4 refers to Bay of Biscay and Iberian Coast data from France by a 
Beam Trawl survey in quarter 4 of the year and GNSIntOT3 refers to Greater 
North Sea data from International (multiple countries) sampling by an Otter 
Trawl survey in quarter 3 of the year etc.

(*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.
