2021 Scallop Underwater TV Survey in the North Sea
Description
King scallop (*Pecten maximus*) underwater TV (UWTV) survey carried out in
the North Sea by RV Cefas Endeavour in 2021. A drop frame mounted camera was
used to record high definition (HD) video and numerous still photo images of
the seabed for 20 minute tows. Observations of scallops were recorded by
trained staff. These data are used to estimate biomass in areas that are not
fished by the fishing fleet, but support populations of scallops and which may
contribute to recruitment in dredged areas. This complements data collected as
part of the wider scallop stock assessment in the region. Each sampling
station has associated positional and ancillary data (e.g. salinity and
temperature).
