FishDAC - 2013 West Scotland Deepwater Trawl Survey dataset https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=012_Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_1312 Marine Scotland – Science uses FRV Scotia to undertake a deep-water trawl survey along the continental slope of the Rockall Trough (Neat et al. 2008). This survey area is situated some 100 km to the north and west of Scotland (Figure 1.1). The continental slope separates the shallow shelf seas (< 200 m) from the deep ocean plains (> 2000 m) and supports a diverse assemblage of fish, some of which are commercially exploited such as roundnose grenadier, blue ling, black scabbard, orange roughy and deepwater sharks. 20140722
