Rauck) The biological sampling programme of demersal species on board research vessels, commercial trawlers and on fish markets has been continued. This sampling scheme, including length frequency measurements, otolith samplings, single weights of fish, tagging of fish, stomach sampling, as well as studies on fish density and distribution of demersal fish species were carried out during ground fish surveys. The monthly bycatch analysis of the shrimp fishery as well as joint investigations in the Wadden Sea area of Niedersachsen and Schleswig-Holstein have been continued in spring and autumn together with vessels from the Netherlands and Belgium. Investigations on cod discards in the commercial fisheries and cod selectivity studies using mesh sizes of 90 and 100 mm mesh openings were carried out in the German Bight. A ground fish survey covering most parts of the North Sea and investigations on haddock at Rockall Bank have been carried out and will be continued for the coming years.

The distribution of young cod and haddock were investigated during a combined acoustic and stratified bottom trawl s u r v e y in the Barents Sea in F e b r u a r y - March. Two commercial trawlers were hired to participate in t h e stratified bottom trawl survey together with one research vessel. In May t h e distribution of young cod were investigated in t h e Bear Island a r e a , i n J u n e young cod and haddock were investigated in t h e eastern and sentral Barents Sea, in September - October t h e distribution and abundance of cod, haddock, redfish, Greenland halibut and blue whiting were investigated in the Bear Island - West Spitsbergen area, a n d i n October young cod and haddock were investigated in t h e eastern and s e n t r a l Barents Sea. The investigations on the distribution and t h e drift of cod egg were continued in March - April, and investigations on larvae were carried out in May - July. In August - September t h e annual international 0-group fish s u r v e y were carried out in t h e Barents Sea and adjacent a r e a s . The distribution of spawning cod in Lofoten and off Mmre were investigated during the cruises. The distri- bution of silver smelt along the Norwegian coast were investigated d u r i n g one s u r v e y in April. Tagging experiments of the major roundfish species continued. Subarea 1V The sampling of Recommendation 2 F ~ s h e r i e sin Division I V was continued. The distribution and abundance of I-and 11-group gadolds were studied in F e b r u a r y a s p a r t of the international s u r v e y s .
