Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_2026
This was the Faroe-Shetland channel and Rosemary Bank deepwater survey for 2016. Multidisciplinary survey that also included video transects using the VMUX system as well as retrieval of the DOBO lander that had been deployed 1 year earlier in around 1200m depth on the East side of Rockall Bank. Vessel issues impacted heavily on this survey and essentially 1 week of the survey was lost through repairs and transit time to and from port.

dataset
Catchweights and length-frequency distribution for all fish species were collected for all trawl caught species. Temperature at depth is collected via DST to characterise the species' environment. Benthic invertebrates are sorted quantified and recorded from trawl hauls. Camera survey of seabed was conducted in the survey area as well.
