Station, catch, length (all species) and biological data (selected species) are collected using research vessels and GOV trawls. Benthic catches are also recorded. These annual surveys (ongoing) are carried out in support of EU data regulations and as part of the International Bottom Trawl survey. Additional aims include collection of water temperature, salinity and litter data. Survey took place between 14/08/1998 and 14/09/1998 on Cirolana Equipment used during this survey : - Benthic Sampling Gear Jennings 2m Beam Trawl Standard spec. - Bottle Casts Niskin bottles Caesium sampling from 2 bottle cast - Bottle Casts Niskin bottles IBTS standard cast - Otter Trawl GOV Long Wing 36/47 Standard IYFS Spec. - Pumped Samples Deck Hose Caesium sampling Survey operations were undertaken on 200 stations 162 different species were caught on this survey Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS) Cefas Lowestoft Laboratory Pakefield Road Lowestoft Suffolk NR33 0HT UK data.manager@cefas.co.uk originator Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS) Cefas Lowestoft Laboratory Pakefield Road Lowestoft Suffolk NR33 0HT UK data.manager@cefas.co.uk custodian Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS) Cefas Lowestoft Laboratory Pakefield Road Lowestoft Suffolk NR33 0HT UK data.manager@cefas.co.uk distributor Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS) data.manager@cefas.co.uk owner Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) defra.helpline@defra.gov.uk owner European Commission info@publications.europa.eu owner annually Benthos Crustacean Invertebrate Mollusc Shellfish Age Advice Indicator Management Monitoring Biodiversity Catchment area Ecosystem Species Taxonomy GEMET, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication Biodiversity indices Litter abundance and type Electrical conductivity of the water column Light absorption in the water column Salinity of the water column Temperature of the water column Fish abundance in water bodies Fish biomass in water bodies SeaDataNet P02 parameter discovery vocabulary 2011-03-25 revision Biota abundance, biomass and diversity Acoustics Water column temperature and salinity Fish Fisheries Birds, mammals and reptiles SeaDataNet P03 parameter discovery vocabulary 2011-03-25 revision Species distribution GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication Epipelagic Water column SeaVoX Vertical Co-ordinate Coverages 2010-05-18 revision Marine Environmental Data and Information Network MEDIN metadata record availability 2012-01-11 publication data.gov.uk MEDIN metadata record availability 2012-01-11 publication otherRestrictions noLimitations otherRestrictions Adherance to the Cefas Data access policy required.

Fishing over an allocated area of the North Sea using a standard grid. Since the mid-1990s data are collected using an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system and uploaded onto the Fishing Survey System (FSS). Prior to that time data were recorded on paper and input to the FSS. Biological samples are returned to the laboratory for processing and age determination as required. Survey began in 1977 and was referred to as the "NSGFS", which became the "IBTS3E" from 1992 onwards. Species and Gear codelists are available via the additional information source field. MEDIN 3.1.1
