Survey : SUZA 1/88 (part of English Channel Beam Trawl Survey (VIId and IVc), Qtr 3 (FSS: BTS7D))
Eastern English Channel Beam Trawl Survey
This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the English Channel Beam Trawl Survey (VIId and IVc), Qtr 3 (FSS: BTS7D); Station, catch, length (all species) and biological data (selected species) for each of the annual surveys covering the Southern North Sea and Eastern English Channel using research vessels and 4m beam trawl 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 09/08/1988 and 19/08/1988 on Suzanna D Equipment used during this survey : - Beam trawl 4m steel liner only catch linked to 101530101 - Beam Trawl 4m steel commercial 3/5 link mat flip up 40mm Double beam Survey operations were undertaken on 51 stations 57 different species were caught on this survey

Survey series starting in 1988 and ongoing. Fishing over an allocated area of the Southern North Sea and Eastern English 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 has been collected using an electronic data capture system and uploaded onto the Fishing Survey System (FSS). 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 ageing where required. Species and Gear codelists are available via the additional information source field.
