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 08/04/1953 and 26/04/1953 on Ernest Holt

Equipment used during this survey :

  • Engels trawl codend catch
  • Otter Trawl 78ft Granton Arctic bobbins wooden otter boards
