The North East (NE) Coast (of England) cod survey is a designated time-series survey conducted since 2003 as part of the UK Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP). The NE Coast cod surveys in 2003 and 2004 were largely exploratory, examining factors such as the effect of gear type and time of day on catch rates of cod and other species. The objective of the survey series is to provide year-on-year comparative information on distribution, relative abundance and size/age composition of NE coast cod and whiting. The surveys also provide data on catches of other species important to the NE coast fishery, including haddock.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The geographic limits of the survey were initially defined to encompass the main grounds for cod and allied species fished by bottom trawlers operating from ports such as Scarborough, Bridlington and Whitby on England’s NE coast. The routine Cefas observer scheme clearly shows that vessels using whitefish otter trawls operate mainly on the strip of coarser sediments running along the coast, particularly between autumn and spring. (The area of coarse sediment is referred to as "hard ground"). Inshore hard ground provides a typical habitat for young cod up to 2–3 years old, which remain in the area until they mature, then migrate seasonally between feeding and spawning grounds. The immature cod are therefore present in such areas throughout the year. The FSP surveys of NE cod in 2003 and 2004 targeted mainly hard ground, with some stations farther offshore. The survey was redesigned in 2005 in collaboration with the vessel owner to provide broad coverage of a range of seabed types off the NE coast, at the same time allowing increased survey intensity on the hard ground. The same survey design was used in 2006 and 2007. A similar design, but with a coarser grid and fewer stations, was used in 2008 to allow for a ~10% curtailment of the survey concomitant with rising fuel costs, and that design was subsequently also used from 2009 to 2012. |
