Survey : GEBL/A/1929 (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 : EHOLT/04/1955 (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.

North East coast cod 2003/04 - 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.

Demersal stereo-Baited Remote Underwater Videos collected around the north west coast of St. Lucia in 2019

As part of the Commonwealth Marine Economies Programme (CMEP) Cefas conducted 
a demersal stereo-Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) survey of the western 
side of the island from Soufriere Bay to the northern tip of St. Lucia. A 
total of 87 1-hour long samples were successfully acquired to a maximum depth 
of ~50 m during a two week survey in February 2019. Four camera frames were 
used, each fitted with two Sony FDR-X3000 ActionCam cameras with a 7-degree 
inward facing angle directed at the wire mesh bait bag. Stereo-BRUVs field of 
views were calibrated using the SeaGIS calibration cube and the CAL software. 
Calibration videos were acquired at the start and end of the survey. At each 
station light and temperature were also recorded using a HOBO logger and these 
raw files are also provided in the raw format and as .csv file. 

For further details about the collection and analysis methods of these raw 
videos see the publication: https://doi.org/10.1002/aqc.3518

 All analysed stereo-BRUV data are available here:

Benthic State and Change in UK Marine Waters. Benthic Sampling in the North Sea,  Irish Sea and the English Channel 2000-2007

Sampling of the biological and physical characteristics of 155 stations in the 
English Channel, Celtic Seas and the North Sea. This dataset contains 
details of the abundance of macrofauna found at each of the 155 sample 
stations collected between 2000 and 2007. 

Environmental variables quantified for each station included bathymetry 
(except North Sea and western Scotland), stratification, bottom temperature 
and a number of derived granulometric parameters (e.g., % silt, % gravel, 
sorting coefficient, skewness, kurtosis), together with modelled parameters 
such as bed tidal stress, wave stress, bottom temperature, a stratification 
index and satellite-derived surface chlorophyll a (mean values for 2002-07 
used). 

Estimates of the benthic productivity associated with such communities were 
also derived, for the first time, at this large spatial scale.
