  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Two participating vessels collected information on catches and biological data 
including length data and otoliths from North Sea Saithe and Barents sea cod, 
between March 2023 and February 2024. This work was carried out as part of the 
Fisheries Industry Science Partnerships (FISP). This project was led by the 
fishing industry, in partnership with Cefas. This project aimed to set up a 
cost-effective continuous data collection programme for the industry to 
collect robust biological scientific data on national fisheries that are not 
covered by the current national sampling programmes, with the long-term aim to 
feed into the ICES stock assessment. This project presented an opportunity to 
engage the industry in the collection of biological samples from areas 
logistically difficult to sample routinely. The data shown includes summary 
catches of the target species (saithe and cod) in each trip and the length 
collected for those species, in each haul.</dc:description>
