Summary

Total numbers of individual fish identified during the Cefas Young Fish Survey (YFS) which ran from 1981 to 2010. The survey deployed a light 2-meter beam trawl to survey inshore locations for small / young fish around the British Isles, predominantly along the south and east coasts. Total numbers of fish (identified to species or if not to the highest taxonomic level) were recorded at each station, and were measured in the majority of cases. The surveys were primarily undertaken to evaluate the abundance of juvenile sole and plaice, as well as providing further information on the abundance of other species of fish. Alongside the main 'Young Fish Survey Data 1981 to 2010' data table are three further data tables marked as 'YFS_DWC' which give the same data in EventCore format and a readme file which describes historic versions of metadata which this record has replaced.
