  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Daily folders (18) of Simrad format (.raw) acoustic data. 18 Echoview format (EV) format analysis files. Excel biological data for 34 pelagic hauls. CTD data for 30 vertical dips. Continual Thermosalinograph data. Continual AGDS data.
Objectives: To conduct an acoustic survey to estimate the abundance and distribution of herring in the north western North Sea and north of Scotland between 58&#xBA;30&#x2019;-62&#xBA;N and from the shelf edge to 2&#xBA;E, excluding Faroese waters.To obtain biological samples for echosounder trace identification using a pelagic trawl.To obtain samples of herring for biological analysis, including age, length, weight, sex, maturity and ichthyophonus infection.To obtain hydrographic data for comparison with the horizontal and vertical distribution of herring</dc:description>
