| Objectives | Demersal fish survey
1. To obtain information on spatial patterns of abundance of different size- and age-classes of demersal fish in the northern Irish Sea. 2. To obtain indices of abundance of whiting, haddock, cod and herring for use at ICES Working Groups. 3. To quantify external parasite loads in whiting and cod, by area. 4. To collect samples of flastfish for contaminant analysis and feeding studies. 5. To record quantities of marine litter in trawl catches. |
