Summary

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Historic Arctic Survey Series;

Gadus morhua (Atlantic Cod) stocks in the Barents Sea are currently at levels not seen since the 1950s. Causes for the population increase last century, and understanding of whether such large numbers will be maintained in the future, are unclear. To explore this, we digitised and interrogated historical cod catch and diet datasets from the Barents Sea. Data includes temporal and spatial information, cod catch data and length distributions, and hydrographic data.

Survey took place between 28/05/1959 and 25/06/1959 on Ernest Holt

Equipment used during this survey :

  • Otter Trawl 78ft Granton with shrimp netting cover

Survey operations were undertaken on 30 stations
