Nephrops underwater TV Surveys in the North Sea (video data and database)

Underwater TV (UWTV) surveys dataset, used as basis of the Nephrops (
Nephropsnorvegicus) assessment to develop fishery independent
indicators of stock size, exploitation status and catch advice. The standard
methodology involves the use of a sledge mounted camera to film the seabed at
a fix grid of stations conducting TV tows for 10 minutes.

Data has been collected twice a year between 1997 to 2002 (Spring and Autumn)
and once a year since 2003 (autumn). Dataset holds data from two areas of the
North Sea (Farn Deeps-FU6 (1996 to 2012) and Botney Gut/Silver Pit-FU5 (2010
to 2012)).
