The survey methodology replicated that of the August 2010 pre-installation survey, and the November 2012 and August 2013 post-installation survey. The objective of the survey was to assess whether the operational export cable has any discernible effects on the localized population of elasmobranchs, and the feeding behaviour of lesser spotted dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula). Lesser spotted dogfish (S. canicula) is widespread and abundant along the southern and western seaboards of the British Isles at depths of 6–308 m, although its distribution in the North Sea is patchy (Ellis et al, 2005). Overall, it is a species with limited migration ranges, although variations in distribution between autumn and spring surveys suggest local movements in some areas such as the Irish Sea (Agri-Food; Biosciences Institute, 2009). The survey was conducted using the same vessel, gear and bait as the pre-installation survey. Three replicates of 16 sample stations were undertaken, where practicable, along the Scira export cable route. In the event, only 43 of the 48 sample longline deployments were able to be undertaken, due to the presence of deployed static gear at two stations. Thirty seven elasmobranchs were caught during the survey, of which fifteen were S.canicula. The highest number were caught at Station L10. S.canicula stomach contents were predominantly Crustacea and known benthic prey species such as a range of crab species including Paguridae spp and Pagurus bernhardus.

The reference stations were added in 2014 following consultation with the Marine Management Organisation (MMO). Sampling commenced on the 16th August 2015 when ten longlines baited with squid were deployed at stations along the export cable route (Figure 3.3). Further stations were sampled on 17th, 19th, 20th and 21st August 2015 ensuring, where possible, three complete replicates were undertaken. A total of 43 of the possible 48 stations were successfully undertaken. All three attempts at Station 7 and two at Station 12 were aborted on safety grounds due to the presence of high density deployed static fishing gear. The longlines were left to soak for a duration of approximately two hours before being hauled and the catch recorded (refer to Section 3.5). It should be noted that at station L06 on 16th August, it was not possible to locate the deployed longline.
