  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">75 core trawl stations are completed annually, to provide distribution and 
stock composition estimates for fish species. Station, catch, length (all 
species) and biological data (selected species) are collected using research 
vessels and GOV trawls. Benthic catches are also recorded. These annual 
surveys (ongoing) are carried out in support of EU data regulations and as 
part of the International Bottom Trawl survey. Additional aims include 
collection of water temperature, salinity and litter data.</dc:description>
