This survey was carried out from 27th Jun to 24th July 1996 in the Irish Sea
and North Channel. As part of the main aims of the survey, a small number of
plankton tows were carried out in the western Irish Sea. Plankton samples were
collected at each site on the survey grid and analysed for larvae of
Nephrops norvegicus. This data consists of the numbers of Nephrops
larvae, along with associated positional data and volumes filtered.
