The latter was also to determine the stock split between North Sea and Thames fish as there is a great deal of mixing of stocks in the area. Stock identification was done by a combination of first year growth observed in the otolith and the maturity stage of the fish. Survey took place between 19/11/2005 and 30/11/2005 on INA K Equipment used during this survey : - Larson Sprat Trawl Survey operations were undertaken on 36 stations 33 different species were caught on this survey
