This autumn 2010 survey provides the first set of annual 4m beam trawl survey data designed to sample demersal fish and epifauna present in and around the Irish Sea Round 3 Development Zone. There will be a second survey which is scheduled for spring 2011. After this second survey comparisons between the two data sets will be made and the definitive community descriptions will be provided. In addition, comparisons to Cefas data sets for their survey sites located within the zone will be undertaken and information regarding fish spawning areas will be provided following a literature review.

The autumn survey was conducted over four days in early November 2010. Due to inclement conditions only 22 of the original 25 survey sites were able to be surveyed. Trawls were undertaken using a 4m beam trawl with a 40mm inserted mesh cod end. All fish and epifaunal species were identified and recorded with commercial fish being measured and elasmobranchs measured and sexed. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/2663/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site.
