Summary

King scallop (Pecten maximus) underwater TV (UWTV) survey carried out in the North Sea by RV Cefas Endeavour in 2021. A drop frame mounted camera was used to record high definition (HD) video and numerous still photo images of the seabed for 20 minute tows. Observations of scallops were recorded by trained staff. These data are used to estimate biomass in areas that are not fished by the fishing fleet, but support populations of scallops and which may contribute to recruitment in dredged areas. This complements data collected as part of the wider scallop stock assessment in the region. Each sampling station has associated positional and ancillary data (e.g. salinity and temperature).
