Alternative title(s)

3rd Quarter North Sea Groundfish Survey

Abstract

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the North Sea Groundfish Survey, Qtr 3 (FSS: IBTS3E; NSGFS); 75 core trawl stations are completed annually, to provide distribution and stock composition estimates for fish species. Station, catch, length (all species) and biological data (selected species) are collected using research vessels and GOV trawls. Benthic catches are also recorded. These annual surveys (ongoing) are carried out in support of EU data regulations and as part of the International Bottom Trawl survey. Additional aims include collection of water temperature, salinity and litter data. Survey took place between 14/08/1998 and 14/09/1998 on Cirolana Equipment used during this survey : - Benthic Sampling Gear Jennings 2m Beam Trawl Standard spec. - Bottle Casts Niskin bottles Caesium sampling from 2 bottle cast - Bottle Casts Niskin bottles IBTS standard cast - Otter Trawl GOV Long Wing 36/47 Standard IYFS Spec. - Pumped Samples Deck Hose Caesium sampling Survey operations were undertaken on 200 stations 162 different species were caught on this survey

Lineage

International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES) co-ordinated IBTSE survey for quarter 3. Fishing over an allocated area of the North Sea using a standard grid. Since the mid-1990s data are collected using an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system and uploaded onto the Fishing Survey System (FSS). Prior to that time data were recorded on paper and input to the FSS. Biological samples are returned to the laboratory for processing and age determination as required. Survey began in 1977 and was referred to as the "NSGFS", which became the "IBTS3E" from 1992 onwards. Species and Gear codelists are available via the additional information source field.
