  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Objectives

To conduct an acoustic survey designed to survey both the open and enclosed areas of the Clyde to ultimately provide an estimate of age disaggregated abundance and distribution of herring and sprat.

To obtain samples of herring and sprat for biological analysis, including age, length, weight, sex, maturity and ichthyophonus infection.

All other species caught will be measured for length and weight to establish a length weight relationship.

CTD profiles will be taken at the end of each trawl.

Tissue samples will be collected for genetic stock identification study</dc:description>
