Lineage

FSP 2006/07 Programme 21, a jigging survey of squid off the English Channel. The survey, on board the chartered vessel FV Valhalla, was planned to take place during the fourth quarter of 2006 to coincide with the period when squid are being caught in commercially viable quantities in this area. A first trip took place from 6 to 20 December 2006 and a second trip took place from 6 to 15 January 2007. Weather conditions were extremely bad and only 14 days of fishing out of 20 days of survey were conducted. Therefore, completion of the survey was delayed until late summer – early autumn of 2007. However, examination of the species composition of commercial catches in October 2007 suggested a poor season for *L. vulgaris* , which was viewed as an indication that jigging with lights was most likely to be unsuccessful. The survey was cancelled on this basis.
