Between August 6th and September 6th 2000 a series of ichthyoplankton surveys
were carried out in the Irish Sea by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and
Aquaculture Science, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
Northern Ireland and the Department of the Marine to improve stock assessment
by the egg production method. Target species were cod (Gadus morhua) and
plaice (Pleuronectes platessa). The data described here consists of the
numbers of fish eggs and larvae and zooplankton, along with associated
positional and ancillary data and volumes filtered.
