FSP Sardine self sampling
This FSP project initiated a self-sampling programme, through collaboration between industry and scientists, to respond to the need of data. Fishers filled in dedicated logbooks with trip- and haul details; measuring boards and (sub) sampling buckets were provided and were used by fishers to collect length frequency distribution measurements twice per months. An image recognition software was developed to automate the digitisation of the handwritten logbooks and datasheets into spreadsheets. A similar sampling scheme was agreed with the relevant processors, who provided information on total catches per trip, length frequency distribution and individual weights.

The primary objective of this project was to collect information on the sardine stock and its fishery in the South West coast of England, by developing a self-sampling programme. Specifically, this self-sampling programme aimed for fishers to collect individual length frequency data from the catch and for relevant processors to contribute with individual length-weight data. These data serve as a starting point to build a time series which will ultimately contribute to the stock assessment of sardine in ICESarea 7.
