Since 2012 Devon and Severn IFCA has carried out stock assessments on the public mussel beds on the Taw-Torridge Estuary, North Devon. These surveys determine the area of each bed, the density of mussels, the percentage cover, and the estimated stock (in tonnes), and marketable stock (mussels greater than 50mm in length) for each bed, and are used to assess the condition of the bed and whether the bed could support a viable mussel fishery.

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Since 2012 Devon and Severn IFCA has carried out stock assessments on the public mussel beds on the Taw-Torridge Estuary, North Devon. These surveys determine the area of each bed, the density of mussels, the percentage cover, and the estimated stock (in tonnes), and marketable stock (mussels greater than 50mm in length) for each bed, and are used to assess the condition of the bed and whether the bed could support a viable mussel fishery. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Data is collected by Devon and Severn IFCA, in the first half of each year (2012â??2019, 2022) and in the Autumn of 2020 - 2021. Transects are walked across each mussel bed using the Dutch Wand method of surveying, data on the extent of each bed was also used to create GIS layers of the area of the beds. Results are compared to those from previous years. |
