Summary

This dataset contains information on bycatch of non-target species from the AFBI Irish Sea and North Channel Queen Scallop Dredge Research Surveys between 2013 – present on board the R.V. Corystes. The primary objectives of this research surveys series are to obtain information on spatial patterns of abundance of different size-classes of queen scallops in the Irish Sea and off the north coast, to further test for optimal sampling gear for future queen scallop surveys and to collect biological information from queen scallops and scallops by area, including tissue samples. The survey primarily utilises underwater television (UWTV) footage (c. 10 mins) to identify abundance of queen scallop which is supplement with biological sampling from dredge and beam trawl. Dredge samples were taken at selected stations across a spectrum of observed queenie densities
