Description
Summary:The standard gear for the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS), a fisheries-independent research survey originating from the 1960s, will be replaced. The long-term monitoring pro-vides data on commercial pelagic and demersal fish species for stock assessments and facili-tates examination of changes in fish distribution and abundance. The remit of this Workshop on the Further Development of the New IBTS Gear (WKFDNG) was to design a simple gear, as standardised as possible, robust, and easy to maintain. Additionally, the workshop was tasked to provide input for the roadmap towards implementation of the new gear.
