In addition, biological sampling was undertaken to complement assessment of the aggregations.

In all, 12 days of sea time were intentionally split into 3 ‘blocks’ of time over a 3-month period (December 2006 – February 2007) to coincide with the spawning season of cod. The areas that were fished were initially based on local knowledge and experience of fishermen catching cod in a defined area between Beachy Head and Folkestone, within 10 miles of the coast. The nets were shot along transects, with the latitude and longitude of each net start and end being recorded. MEDIN 3.1.1
