Summary

Between February and May of 1995 a series of plankton surveys were carried out in the Irish Sea by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, and a number of partner research institutes, to undertake stock assessment by the egg production method. The species targetted were cod, sole and plaice. Ichthyoplankton samples were collected at each site on a planned survey grid. The data described here consists of the numbers of fish eggs and larvae identified from the main net samples collected, along with associated positional and ancillary data and volumes filtered.

In addition, 69 main net samples were later analysed for mesozooplankton (12 to 16 samples from 5 of the cruises), and these data are also included.
