Metadata: Sardine and Anchovy Survey off Southwest England 2010/11 - Fisheries Science Partnership
Abstract:
To measure key population parameters of sardine and anchovy in the western Channel, to help determine the relationship of these stocks to others in the area. Acoustic, plankton and other biological data will be collected from sardine and anchovy to establish their range of distribution, spawning locations, age groups and relationship with other commercial pelagic species in the survey area.

Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS)

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The Pelagic Pair Freezer Trawlers Wiron 1, skipper D. Kuijt, and *Wiron 2*, skipper A. Hoek, were chartered for a multidisciplinary fieldwork programme to: 1. use acoustic methods, trawl, plankton sampling and CTD to collect information on the distribution, age and length composition, spawning and habitat of sardine and anchovy in the southwest of the UK, within the British fishing limits. 2. gain a better understanding of the population dynamics of sardine and anchovy in the Celtic Sea and Western Channel, including the interactions between the UK stocks and those farther south. Although the survey was curtailed by engine problems experienced by one of the vessels, novel data collected during the survey suggested that a late spring, early summer spawning population of sardine is present over the Celtic Sea shelf. A large proportion of old sardine in the sampled population was also suggestive of fishing pressure currently being sustainable, but more data need to be collected to corroborate this. No adult anchovy were caught during the survey, nor were any anchovy eggs or larvae found. As this species is found regularly in these waters, and indeed specimens collected by the fishing industry from the Channel were analysed during this study, the question is let as to the spawning population from which these fish derive. |
