The Seafish/Cefas experimental water-jet dredge was employed north of Walney Island, but there were problems in deploying the gear safely. Those problems added to the sea-time lost through poor weather. In all, 34 dredge deployments were made, but at only 26 of these did the dredge fish successfully. MEDIN 3.1.1
