One of ten beam trawl surveys to investigate catches of anglerfish and hake
(*Merluccius**merluccius*) in the Celtic Sea and Western Approaches, and
to examine bycatches of other species. To investigate the effectiveness of an
"environmental panel" designed for reducing the bycatch of organisms and
debris.

The western anglerfish programme was carried out every year from 2003 to 2012
with the aim of investigating the abundance and size composition of anglerfish
on the main UK anglerfish fishing grounds off the southwest coast of England.
Additional data are collected on other commercial species, such as megrim,
hake, cod and lemon sole. Throughout the time-series, the same two commercial
beam trawlers have been used, the FV Twilight III in the southern part of the
survey area and the FV Billy Rowney in the northern region. The vessels have
fished in the same areas, using the same gear, for the duration of the
time-series.
On the survey fishing grounds, two species of anglerfish are caught. The most
common (scientific name *Lophius piscatorius*) is referred to herein as
anglerfish or monk (fish) (*L. piscatorius*), and the less common species
(*Lophius budegassa*) as anglerfish or monk (fish) (*L. budegassa*), to
avoid the use of common names such as “black anglerfish” or “white
anglerfish”, which are used for the same species in different areas. The two
species of anglerfish belong to populations that extend over a broad area of
the continental shelf to the west and southwest of the British Isles.
Anglerfish populations extend from coastal waters to the continental slope and
are fished by several nations using beam trawls, otter trawls and fixed nets.
The area covered by the FSP survey is therefore only a small part of the
overall range of the populations.
