In recent years survey results constitute the most important part of the material on which the stock assessments of North-east Arctic cod and haddock are based. Both acoustic surveys and bottom trawl surveys have been applied. The acoustic surveys were carried out in January-April each year, covering the young fish grounds of both species in the Barents Sea and the spawning grounds for cod along the Norwegian coast. The bottom trawl surveys covered the young fish grounds in the Barents Sea during the same period of time as the acoustic surveys. In addition the Svalbard region was surveyed by bottom trawling in September. Both the total and the spawning stocks of cod were assessed on the basis of survey data and estimates of number of fish at age were worked out.
