Discard and Effort Survey: Channel ICES Areas VIId and e 1997/98 First Interim Report February 1998

Summary

This report describes the activities of the Seafish discard team during the period July-December 1997. Production of this report fulfills milestone 01/2 (31 January 1998) in the Application for a Research Contract. The project is therefore 3 weeks behind to the original plan as described in this proposal. It is not considered seriously behind schedule. A total of 10 discard trips have been undertaken of which seven have been analysed and presented in this report. These results are discussed together with the planned feasibility study of fishermen sampling their own discards.
