Standardised 2-mile tows were carried out to test if the survey was likely to catch the same portion of the stock as the commercial vessels. The rate of escape of the main commercial species from the standard GOV trawl was assessed by fitting additional nets behind the ground gear to capture escaping fish. The aim was to determine not only the escape rate, but also the factors, if any, that influenced escape. MEDIN 3.1.1
