Extract

The general biology of the gadoid fishes of the North Sea after recruitment to the demersal fisheries has received considerable attention, but little is known about their behaviour patterns during the period between metamorphosis and assumption of the demersal habit. In the summer of 1969 the Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen, began a series of annual midwater trawling surveys of the northern North Sea (Hislop, 1970, 1972a, b; Hislop & Bailey, 1971, 1975). During the surveys observations were also made on various aspects of the biology of the species caught. This paper describes the results of a series of trawling experiments carried out on a cruise of F.R.S. ‘Scarba’ (ex ‘Scotia’) between 12 and 29 August 1971.
