Oceanographic cruise - LANGOLF (Langoustine Bay of Biscay)

Calculating Nephrops stock abundance index in the Grande Vasière (Bay of Biscay), size and sex structure; spatial distribution of population per sedimentary unit. Macroscopic observation of stages of sexual maturity in females. Abundance index estimations for related species. Calcified parts were removed to determine the age of species of commercial interest whose stock dynamics are being monitored. Sexual maturity stages in sole, angler fish and hake. Temperature, salinity and depth logs taken (Cruises FIS).

Purpose

The aims of the cruise are:

(i) To estimate an abundance index for the langoustine stock size-structure by sex.

(ii) Spatial distribution by sedimentary unit of the population

(iii) Macroscopic observation of stages of sexual maturity in females.

(iv) To estimate abundance indicators for species associated with experimental catches.

(v) (particularly hake, galathea, monkfish, pouting, blue hake, sole).

(vi) To collect and sample calcified parts to determine the age of fishes (species of commercial interest whose dynamics are monitored).

(vii) Sampling by sedimentary strata of associated benthic microfauna and megafauna.

Statement

On the entire sector, with a total surface area of around 11680 km², five sedimentary strata are defined according to mud content and origin. Sampling method: random stratified, proportionally allocated a ratio which takes into account: (1) the surface of each layer and (2) an index relating to the concentration of fishing vessels.

The locations are trawled randomly

Fishing gear consists of twin trawls (two trawlers connected by their wing points at the centre) much like those used in commercial fishing, except that the mesh in the codend is only 20mm fully-stretched, in order to retain immature individuals.

Each trawl is equipped with a SCANMAR “headline” and “wing point” equipment in order to check the geometry of the trawl gear during trawls (vertical and horizontal openings),and to define the moment when trawling on the sea floor begins. The panels are equipped with a GEONET device which provides data on the geometry of the gear and temperature at the sea floor.

Thanks to these devices, it is possible to calculate the surface area of the sea floor which has been effectively cleared for each sampling unit. A sensor is connected to the trawler’s headline in order to obtain hydrological information (pressure, temperature and conductivity).


The standard sampling plan includes 70 trawling locations for duration of 30 minutes. Different measurements are taken during each trawl.

1) Trawler performance

2) Biological observation of all species

3) Hydrological and Bathmetric measurements
