International English Channel Sole Egg Survey

Title: International English Channel Sole Egg Survey
IARN: AF001-0000031
Identifier:
Description: Four cruises were undertaken collecting 70-80 samples to estimate the spawning stock biomass of the sole (Solea solea) in the eastern English Channel. This was part of an international series of cruises covering the Southern Bight and the whole English Channel. Plankton samples were sorted and all fish eggs and larvae identified to species level where possible. Solea solea eggs were staged and seasonal production estimates and mortality rates have been calculated. Edible crab (Cancer pagurus) larvae have also been sorted, staged and densities calculated. Temperature and salinity "V" shaped profiles are available at each sampling position. Continuous near-surface (3m) temperature and salinity data are available for the complete cruises tracks.
