September Irish Sea and Bristol Channel Beam Trawl Survey

Abstract

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the North West Groundfish Survey, Qtr 3 (FSS: NWGFS); Station, catch, length (all species) and biological data (selected species) for each of the annual surveys in the Irish Sea and Bristol Channel using research vessels and 4m beam trawls. Data mainly used to create indices of abundance in support of EU data regulations and as part of an ICES funded research program. Additional aims include collection of benthic, litter, water temperature and salinity and acoustic data. Survey took place between 15/09/2005 and 05/10/2005 on Corystes Equipment used during this survey : - Beam Trawl 4m steel commercial 3/5 link mat flip up 75mm CE 40mm liner AFT - Benthic Sampling Gear Grabs 0.2 sq. m Day Grab - Nioz corer standard deployment - Vibro Corer Standard - Water sampled for caesium analysis Survey operations were undertaken on 136 stations 172 different species were caught on this survey

Lineage

Surveys carried out for the ICES Celtic Seas Ecoregion Working Group starting in 1988 and ongoing. Fishing over an allocated area of the Irish Sea and Bristol Channel using a standard grid. The first tow of the survey is often a "test" tow and is sometimes fished outside of the main survey grid. Since 2005 data have been collected using an electronic data capture system and uploaded onto the Fishing Survey System (FSS) database. Prior to this, all data were recorded on paper and then manually input into the FSS database. Biological samples are returned to the laboratory for processing and age determination where required. Species and Gear codelists are available via the additional information source field.
