Data from FSP 2007/09 Programme 18 ‘North Sea Codwatch’, which from April 2007
to March 2009 monitored the status of 1- and 2-year-old cod (Gadus morhua) and
also of cod and whiting (Merlangius merlangius) (the latter only from June
2008 on) of all ages in catches in the North Sea made by selected commercial
vessels associated with the Eastern England Fish Producers Organisation Ltd
(EEFPO). The Programme from June 2008 to March 2009 was part-funded by a grant
from Yorkshire Forward.
