Bristol Channel Sole Egg Surveys

Title: Bristol Channel Sole Egg Surveys
IARN: AF001-0000030
Identifier:
Description: Six cruises were undertaken collecting 70-80 samples to estimate the spawning stock biomass of the sole (Solea solea) in the Bristol Channel area. Plankton samples were sorted and all fish eggs and larvae identified to species level where possible. Solea solea and plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) eggs were staged to enable seasonal production estimates and mortality rates to be calculated. Edible crab (Cancer pagurus) larvae have also been sorted, staged and densities collected. Temperature and salinity "V" profiles are available at each sampling position. Continuous near-surface (3m) temperature and salinity data are available for complete cruises tracks.
