Recording of densities and growth rates of the 1987 and 1988 year
classes of sole, plaice, dab,
flounder,
cod and whiting was
carried out. Two cruises were therefore undertaken according to
the criteria of the International Oemersal Younq Fish Survey. The
groundfish survey was continued in order to estimate the stock
size of adult flatfish in the southern North Sea by means of a
beamtrawl fishery in August. This was part of an international
survey in collaboration with the Outch Institute.
The market sampling was continued covering cod (North Seal,
whitinq (North Seal, haddock (North Seal, plaice and sole (North
Sea-Enqlish Channel-Celtic Sea and Irish Sea. (see following

The sampling programme for commercial calches of sailhe, cod and haddock was eonlinued in 1988.
SampIes of lusk and redfish were also laken; se lable for more delails.
The followjog research cruim look pIace in 1988
In January-February r/v Magnus Heinason earried oul a lrawl survey in deeper walers around Ihe
Faroes, espeeially for redfish, blue Iing and sailhe.
In February-March r/v Magnus Heinason conlinued Ihe Faroese Groundfish Surveys to get
informalion on the ~Iock sizes of saithe, cod and haddock; see lable for more delails.
In April r/v Magnus Heinason earried out a trawl survey for pelagie beaked redfish in the Irminger
Sea especially to investigate relationship with beaked redfish from other areas.
]n April-May and August a commercial
vessel~
Jlerona, was chartered to carry out surveys 8t the
Faroes with gill nets for flalfishes.
In May r/v Magnus Heinason earried out a eombined acouslic and trawl survey to get information on
the distribution of silver smelt in Faroese waten.
In May-July a commercial longliner, Hans Erik, was charlered to carry out a survey wilh long line in
deeper waters around the Faroes and in the Batlon Bank area; the target species were grenadier, black
scabbard fish and sharks.
In June r/v Magnus Heinason continued the O-Group Surveys in Faroese Walers 10 get informalion on
Ihe year-class strenglh of cod, haddock, norway pout and sandeel.
In June-July r/v Magnus Heinason carried out a trawl survey in deeper waters around the Faroes for
blue Iing, grenadier and black seabbard fish.
In June and August a commereial vessel, Lgir, was chartered to carry on seleclion sludies in Ihe
Faroese summer fishery wilh botlom trawl inside the 12 nautieal mile zone; the melhod Was alternale
hauls wilh 40, 100 and 135 mm mesh sizes in the codend.
In September-Oclober seteclion studies on sailhe, eod and haddock were carried out wilh r/v Magnus
Heinason using alternale hauls wilh 40, 135 and 155 mm mesh sizes in the codend.
In Oetober-November r/v Magnus Heinason carried out a combined acouslic and trawl survey around
the Faroes as a parI of a sampling programme to get more information on Ibe population dynamies
elc. on redfish (S. marinus, S. menlella and S. viviparus); in addilion, seleclion studies for redfish
were earried out using alternale hauls wilh 40, 135 and 155 mm mesh SilOS in the codend.
In November-Deeember r/v Magnus Heinason carried out a trawl survey in deeper walers around Ihe
Faroes for sailhe and redfish.
On all cruises with r/v Magnus Heinason biologieal sampIes are taken as a rouline for most fish
species from almost every haul and the measurements are enlered ioto Ihe vessel computer
automatically. As a11 da la have not been edited yet. the number or sam pIes aod measurements by
speeies for Ihe year 1988 can not be given al this poinl ucept for the Faroese Groundfish Surveys.

IRELAND
(R Graingerl
Port sampling of commercial catches of cod, haddock and
whiting in Divisions VIa and VIIb and of haddock from
Division VIb was undertaken, as in previous years. Landings
of cod, whiting and plaice from Division VIIa and discards of
whiting from the VIIa Nephrops fishery also continued to be
sampled. In addittion, sampling of hake, megrim and angler
(~
piscatorius and ~ budegassal in Division VIa and
Sub-area VII (except VIIal was carried out. Sole was sampled
from catches of beam trawlers fishing in Division VIIa for
the first time.
A be am trawl survey for juvenile plaice in shallow water off
the east coast of Ireland was carried out as usual in May.
Groundfish surveys in the Irish Sea in June and September
aimed at pre-recruit whiting and cod were conducted as they
have been since 1984.

TIIE NETIIERLANDS
(F.A. van Beek)
In 1988 the market sampling of 1andings of the Dutch fleet from the Nonh Sea in The
Netherlands was continued for the following species: brill (Scophrhalmus rhombus),
cod (Gadus morhua), I>'lddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), plaiee (Pleuronectes
plaressa), sole (Solea solea), turbot (Scophrhalmus maximus) and whiting (Merlangius
merlangus). For roundfish the market sampling was stratified on an area basis. For the
other species sampies were stratified by harbour. All sampies were also stratified by
market category. The tables below indicate the level of sampling.
In January a survey was carried out with the RV. "Isis" (I week) using a 8 m. beam
trawl in order to test a panel in the front of the net whieh is used in some areas during
the Beam Trawl Survey (BTS).
In February R.V. "Tridens" (4 weeks) participated in the International Young Fish
Survey (lYFS). These surveys, carried out since 1965, estimate the relative abundance
of I and 2 year old herring and roundfish.
In the period January-March R.V. "Tridens" (4 weeks), RV. "!sis" (6 weeks) and a
chartered vessel (2 weeks) carried out egg-surveys on cod and plaiee in the Nonh Sea.
The aim of these surveys is to estimate the egg production and stock size of these
spedes in this area.
A combined egg survey in the second quarter on sole, mackerei and horse mackerei was
carried out by RV. "Tridens" (6 weeks), R.V. "!sis" (4 weeks) and achartered vessel
(2 weeks). in the southem Nonh Sea.
In June 3002 flounders (Plarichrh)'s flesus) and 1975 dab (Limanda limanda) were
tagged along the Durch coast and in the Scheldt Estuary by R.V. "Isis" (2 weeks)
On board of R.V. "!sis" 2564 young plaice (range 15-24 cm) were tagged along the
Danish coast with the Peterson mini tag in July (2 weeks). Part of the tagged fish were
injected with tetra-eycline.
In August a survey was carried out on R.V. "Tridens" (I week) in the southem and
central Nonh Sea wirh the standard GOV trawl in the framework of the leES
multispecies program.
In September·October RV. "Tridens" (3 weeks), R.V. "Isis" (4 weeks), R.V. "Stern"
(4 weeks) and R.V. "Schollevaar" (2 weeks) panicipated in the Demers.l Young Fish
Surveys (DYFS). These surveys estimate the relative abundanee of brown shrimp and
juvenile plaice and sole in the continental nursery areas. The surveys are carried out
sinee 1969 in collaboration wirh Belgium and the Federal Republic of Germany. In
,------
- 31 -
April a DYFS survey was carried out on a reduced station grid by R.V. "Tridens" (4
weeks).
In August a Beam Trawl Survey (BTS) was carried out by R.V. "Isis" (5 weeks) in the
southem North Sea in collaboration with Belgium in order to investigate the abundance
and distribution of adult plaice and sole in these areas. A similar survey on a reduced
station grid was carried out by R.V. "Tridens" in April in combination with the DYFS
survey.
In October-November R.V. "Tridens" (3 weeks) and R.V. "Isis" (3 weeks) carried out
a survey in the southem North Sea with the GOV trawl directed to roundfish. This
survey is held since 1980 (Duteh Groundfish Survey).

The research activities at sea were slightly increased compared to
1987. The research vessels. however. carried out virtually the same
programme as in 1987. The distribution end abundence of young cod end
haddock end of redfishes in the Barents Sea were investigated during a
combined acoustic end stratified bottom trawl survey in January March. The distribution end abundence of spawning cod was investigated
during en acoustic survey of the Lofoten area in March. Combined with
shrimp investigations. the distribution of young cod end haddock was
studied in the central Barents Sea in April - May end in the Svalbard
area in July - August. The distribution end abundence of cod. haddock.
redfishes. catfishes, end Greenland halibut were investigated in the
Svalbard area in September - October. Part of this survey was included
in a multi-species acoustic survey carried out during the same period,
when the distribution and abundance of cod, haddock end redfishes were
investigated also in the Barents Sea.
Cod were tagged in the Lofoten
northeastern Norway in June.

The spawning progress of cod end haddock in the Lofoten area was
monitored by sampling of eggs end larvae from February to May.
Investigations
on cod larvae and post-larvae were carr1ed out in June
end July. In August - September the annual international O-group
survey, aimed primarily at cod, was carried out in the Barents Sea and
adjacent waters.
Investigations on distribution end drift of haddock eggs were carried
out in April - May, end the distribution of O-group haddock was
charted in August - September during the international O-group survey.
Investigations on distribution end drift of saithe eggs were carried
out in February - April.oAn O-group (post-larvae) s~rvey for saithe in
the area from Stad (62 N) to north of Lofoten (69 N) was carried out
in May. end an asoustic survey for saithe on the coastal banks from
North Cape to 62 N was carried out in November-December.

Sub-area IV
The distribution end abundance of 1- end II-group gadoids were studied
in February as part of the International Young Fish Survey. In April
en investigation on post-larvae of saithe was undertaken in Norwegian
waters. In February, the distribution and abundence of saithe were
investigated during acoustic surveys in the northern North Sea. The
distribution and abundance of sandeel in the Norwegian economic zone
were investigated during an acoustic survey in April. The sarepling of
commercial catches cf sandeel, Norway pout, end saithe was continued.

for the most important commercial species.
The
INIP carried out a groundfish survey in October/November
in
the portuguese waters mainly to estimate distribution and indices
of abundance and recruitment Qf hake and horse mackereI, on board
of
the R/V "Noruega".
Seme other groundfish surveys ...ere also
conducted to estimate the distribution and to develop biological
studies of hake and monkfish.
The following tables present the sampling data collected for hake
(Merluccius merluccius),
black-scabbard fish (Aphanopus carbo),

(B. Sjöstrand)
Sweden took part in the International Young Herring Survey in the
North Sea and Skagerrak. It had no other activities on which to
report.
UNITEP KINGpOM (England and Wales)
(C.T. Macer)
The market sampling programme was continued in 1988. The numbers
of fish measured and otolithed are shown in the following tables.
The following research vessel cruises took place in 1988:
RV ·cirolana· participated in the North Sea International Young
Fish Survey in February. Groundfish surveys were conducted in the
North Sea in August/September, and in the Celtic Sea in March and
November/December.
Plaice
fecundity
was
investigated from RV ·Corystes· in
January/February in the southern North Sea and plaice telemetry
trials took place in April/MaY. Sole spawning in the Bristol
Channel was the cruise aim in April, while in the eastern Channel
in August a groundfish survey for plaice and sole took place
using a beam trawl. A survey for young fish was completed in the
Irish Sea/Bristol Channel in September/October, and a cruise in
October/November was devoted to a study of gastric evacuation and
also the incidence of fish diseases.

Sampling Demersal Fish
Continuous monitoring was maintained on the catches c8ught by the five main gears (motor
trawl, seine net, light trawl, Nephrops trawl and demersal pair trawl) used by Scottish fis hermen.
Landings were sampled at all the major fishing ports in Scotland and the intensity of sampling
is indicated in the text table below.

Sampling of demersal fish discarded by the Scottish neet was also carried out on a regular basis
in 1988. SampIes were obtained during the course of commercial trips from
hauls. The

Research yessel Activjties
In February 1988 "Scotia" parlicipated in the International Young Fish Survey in the North Sea.
W
In l\1arch 1988 "Scotia carried out a survey of demersal fish and herring stocks off lhe west
coast of Scotland (ICES Sub area VIa).
In August 1988 "Scotia" carried out a survey of demersal fish stocks in the northern and middle
North Sea (ICES Sub area IVa and IVb).
In September 1988 "Scotia" carried out a survey of the haddock stock on Rockall Bank.
In June 1988 "Clupea" carried out a pelagic O-group survey for gadoid species in the northern
North Sea (ICES Sub area IVa).

(V. Anthony and B. Rothschild)
The U.S.A. had no fisheries and no research activity on demersal
fish in the leES area in 1988.
Activities in the Northwest
Atlantic have been reported to NAFO.

(S.A. Studenetsky)
,
In 1988, as previously, a trawl-acoustic survey was
carried out to assess abundance and biomass of the main commercial fish species, a potential recruitment to cod, haddock, redfish and other fish stocks was evaluated during ichthyoplankton and young fish surveys in the Barents Sea and adjacent
waters.
Investigations were continued to determine relationships
between distribution of fish, their behaviour and hydrological
conditions, food supply. Stock structure of major commercial
fishes, dynamics of their biological characteristics and migration patterns were studied. The investigation of trophic interrelations of stocks was in progress.
Tables 1-8 present information collected during 1988.
