Survey : SLAN/5/1958 (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 25/03/1958 and 03/04/1958 on Sir Lancelot

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Lowestoft otter trawl codend catch

Survey operations were undertaken on 16 stations

Irish Sea roundfish 2004/05 - Fisheries Science Partnership

Annual survey in a series of Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) surveys of 
cod, haddock and whiting in the Irish Sea that commenced in spring 2004, and 
evaluates the time-series of data on catch rates, distribution and age 
composition in the western (commercial whitefish otter trawler) and eastern 
Irish Sea (midwater (semi-pelagic) trawler).

To provide abundance indices of 0-2 year old bass in the Thames area. Annual 
survey taking place in November each year using the standard Cefas bass trawls 
(deployed port and starboard). This survey was co-funded and co-staffed by the 
Environment Agency.

Survey : INA K 3/97 (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.

Bristol Channel 100mm codend trials 2010/11 - Fisheries Science Partnership

This work was carried out as part of the Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP), 
a Defra-funded collaborative programme of scientific research between the UK 
fishing industry and scientists. Local trawlermen working in the Bristol 
Channel in a mixed demersal fishery wanted to know whether an increase in 
codend mesh size would be effective in reducing the levels of discards, and 
whether its use would result in the loss of marketable fish.
