2. To collect sediment samples at each station. 3. To trawl caught samples of Nephrops to examine biological features at different sites throughout the survey areas. 4. The TV survey will also be used to collect data on other potential commercial species. 5. At specific sites, take sediment samples and photographs of seabed to use in Roxann calibration survey. |
