| Objectives and Narrative |
Objectives
1. To investigate the distribution of juvenile herring and sprat through the North and South Minch through bottom, or near-bottom trawling. Species composition and length-frequency distributions of all the fish caught will be determined. Sub-samples will be weighed and otolithed to establish age-length and length-weight relationships. Herring samples will be analysed for sex, maturity, Ichthyophonus and Cryptocotyle lingua infection. Sprat samples will be analysed for Lernaeenicus sprattae, L. encrasicoli and Cryptocotyle lingua infection. 2. To collect stomach samples from both herring and sprat to compare summer feeding patterns to the winter patterns to be established from previously collected samples. 3. To collect viscera samples from herring for possible stock ID. Narrative Staff joined the Clupea in Fraserburgh on Monday 3 July 2006, from where she sailed at 1130. Clupea proceeded to sail round to the west coast, anchoring overnight in Loch Eriboll. Clupea commenced fishing on the morning of 4 July off Cape Wrath. Trawling positions for each day's fishing were determined, on a daily basis, in consultation with the skipper and from previously documented demersal tows in the area. At each station in Part 1 a bottom trawl of 30 minute duration using the BT158 was carried out, along with an oblique plankton tow, CTD and vertical plankton net dip. The suitability of the ground for towing with the PT154 net was established at each station. The EK500 unit ran throughout each day to enable comparison of marks at station fished and fish caught. Clupea continued to work across and down through the North Minch and find a suitable anchorage each night until the evening of 6 July when she docked in Gairloch to take on fresh water supplies. Clupea then proceeded to work down through Raasay Sound and into the Sound of Sleat on 7 July and then headed for work around the eastern side of the South Minch. Work was restricted to the eastern portion of the South Minch until the half landing due to weather restrictions, working around Coll and Tiree, Mull, Colonsay, Rhum, Eigg, Skye, off Mallaig and into Loch Nevis. The CTD data could not be uploaded to a PC due to a problem with communication with the SEARAM unit that was unable to be rectified. Unfortunately, some of the data from the final CTD deployments were lost. A total of 26 demersal tows, 24 double oblique and 24 vertical plankton tows and 26 CTD deployments were performed. On the evening of 12 July, after completing Part 1 of the survey, Clupea steamed to Mallaig where Emma Hatfield handed over to Steve Hay as SIC. Emma Hatfield then left the ship and used the laboratory car to return to Aberdeen. |
