  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">King scallop (*Pecten maximus*) underwater TV (UWTV) survey carried out in 
the English Channel by RV Cefas Endeavour in 2019. A drop frame mounted camera 
was used to record high definition (HD) video and numerous still photo images 
of the seabed for 20 minute tows. Observations of scallops were recorded by 
trained staff. These data are used to estimate biomass in areas that are not 
fished by the fishing fleet, but support populations of scallops and which may 
contribute to recruitment in dredged areas. This complements data collected as 
part of the wider scallop stock assessment in the region. Each sampling 
station has associated positional and ancillary data (e.g. salinity and 
temperature).</dc:description>
