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 04/09/2003 and 06/10/2003 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 Jennings 2m Beam Trawl Standard spec.
Survey operations were undertaken on 113 stations
82 different species were caught on this survey

series
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.
