Metadata: 2009, Brown and May Marine Ltd., Gunfleet Sands 1 and 2, Herring Spawning Survey
Abstract:
This project is the result of a survey commissioned by Gunfleet Sands Limited detailing the findings of the herring spawning survey conducted between February and April 2009. The aim of the survey was to determine the spawning areas and period of the Thames-Blackwater herring. The objectives of this herring survey were to establish the spawning area of the Thames-Blackwater herring, to determine the spawning period of the Thames-Blackwater herring and to ascertain whether there was any relationship between salinity and temperature and spawning area or spawning period.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Sampling was undertaken from the 11th February 2009 to the 15th April 2009. A total of eleven survey trips were conducted during this period. The dates of each survey trip and trawl conducted are given in Table 4.1. The search pattern used to locate the spawning areas was based on the skippers experience and observations of herring movement prior to each trip, previous research (Wood, 1981), and echo sounder searches of the areas. An overview of all the trawls conducted during this study is provided in Figure 4.1. The vessel tracks and trawls for each survey trip is shown in Figure 4.2 - Figure 4.12 |
