A trawl survey of bass in the Solent carried out by Cefas in September 2013 as part of a time series that commenced in the late 1970s. The purpose of the survey is to develop a time-series of pre-recruit indices for bass in and near the nursery grounds within the Solent area.

Not planned
All 35 of the planned stations were completed. A detailed description of the history, survey gear and methods used are described in a Cefas laboratory report “Surveying fish populations in the Solent and adjacent harbours using the CEFAS bass trawl.” A total of 146 bass ( *Dicentrarchus labrax* ) were caught, 96 within the harbours and 50 outside. Age compositions of the survey catches of bass were obtained from the numbers at length together with ages determined from 112 bass scale samples taken and read during the survey. A full list of other fish species caught on this survey is provided below. Cefas holds data on catch rates of all species where numbers are recorded. +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Baillon's wrasse |Symphodus bailloni | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Ballan wrasse |Labrus bergylta | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Bass |Dicentrarchus labrax | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Bib |Trisopterus luscus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Black sea bream |Spondyliosoma | | |cantharus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Butterfish |Pholis gunnellus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Common dragonette |Callionymus lyra | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Corkwing wrasse |Crenilabrus melops | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Dab |Limanda limanda | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Eel |Anguilla anguilla | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Flounder |Platichthys flesus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Gilt-head bream |Sparus auratus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Golden grey mullet |Liza aurata | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Greater pipefish |Syngnathus acus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Herring |Clupea harengus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Horse mackerel |Trachurus trachurus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Lesser spotted |Scyliorhinus Canicula | |dogfish | | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Mackerel |Scomber scombrus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Plaice |Pleuronectus platessa | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Pogge |Agonus cataphractus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Pollack |Pollachius pollachius | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Red mullet |Mullus surmuletus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Rock goby |Gobius paganellus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Sand gobies |Pomatoschistus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Sandeel |Ammodytes tobianus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Sand-smelt |Atherina presbyter | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Sole |Solea solea | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Solenette |Buglossidium luteum | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Sprat |Sprattus sprattus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Starry smooth hound |Mustelus asterias | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Stickleback |Spinachia spinachia | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Thornback ray |Raja clavata | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Undulate ray |Raja undulata | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Whiting |Merlangius merlangus | +----------------------+-----------------------+ |Worm pipefish |Nerophis | | |lumbriciformis | +----------------------+-----------------------+
