Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Cefas Endeavour (74E9) cruise 15/12 |
|---|---|
| Short name | 15/12 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
Aims
1. To carry out a 4m beam-trawl survey of groundfish to i) obtain fisheries independent data on the distribution and abundance of commercial flatfish species ii) derive age compositions of sole, plaice, cod and whiting for use in the assessments of stock size. 2. To collect biological data including maturity and weight at age of sole, plaice, lemon sole and other commercially important finfish species as part of CEFAS' requirements under the EU Data Collection Framework. 3. To determine the distribution and relative abundance of juvenile and adult sole and plaice. 4. To collect surface & bottom temperature/salinity data using CTD and Niskin Bottle. 5. To quantify epibenthos using 4m beam trawl by-catch. 6. Collect length/weight & maturity information using individual fish measurements, in support of the EU Data Collection Framework. 7. To collect surface sea-water samples for processing on return to Lowestoft for the analysis of tritium (AE001) (K Leonard - Cefas). 8. To collect fish samples in support of other Cefas projects and training courses. 9. To collect water alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) samples - (N Greenwood - Cefas) |
