Method Step
- Description
- Fish sampling surveys were conducted in september 2009 in the framework of the Wiser Project. A fishing event is defined as a beam trawl haul or a fyke net. Beam trawl Width: approximately 1.5 m; Height: 0.5 m, active. Fyke Double: Two double fyke nets set in tandem. For each fyke: leader: 20 m 2 wings: 8 m. Fish catches were collected every 12 hours (fyke net) or every 24 hours (fyke net 24 hours), passive Fyke net Cemagref: Fyke net used principally in French lagoons for the purpose of WFD: leader: 20 m 2 wings: 8 m, passive.
Method Step
- Description
- For each fishing event, fishes were identified (whenever possible) at the species level, measured and counted.
Sampling
- Study Extent
-
The sampling design was as follows: 4 sampling sites for Lesina lagoon and 8 for Varna Bay and Lake. The replicates were 10 for Varna bay (Beam trawl gear), 13 for Varna Lake (7 Beam trawl + 6 Fyke net gear), 21 for Lesina Lagoon (3 Fyke net Cemagref + 18 Fyke net gear).
- Sampling Description
- The sampling protocol and hence the sampling effort of each fishing event were standardised for all gears except for beam trawls where haul lengths ranged from 200 m to 1100 m (calculated using the average speed and the duration of the hauls or computed from the geographic coordinates of the starting and ending points of the hauls). Three different gears (active,passive) were used: Beam trawl, Fyke Double net, Fyke net Cemagref. The choice of the gear was mainly dependant on technical feasibility and access to the sampling area.
