August 2007 and contains the results of the acoustic, hydrographic, plankton and fish sampling from two international ICES coordinated survey in 2007. The International blue whiting spawning stock survey on the spawning grounds west of the British Isles in March-April 2007 with participation of Norway, Faroes, Russia and the Netherlands along with Ireland (EU coordinated), and International ecosystem survey in the Nordic Seas with main focus on Norwegian spring-spawning herring and blue whiting in the Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea in May-June 2007 with participation of Denmark (EU coordinated), Faroes, Iceland; Russia and Norway. In addition the scientific study of mackerel, herring and blue whiting was performed in the Norwegian Sea in the July-August with the chartered commercial vessels M/V “Libas” and M/V “Eros” and a Russian survey with RV “Smolensk” in June 2007. The survey results include the distribution and the biomass estimate of spawning blue whiting in March-April west of the British Isles, and the distribution, migration and stock estimates of Norwegian spring-spawning herring and blue whiting, and the environment (oceanographic conditions and biomass of zooplankton) of the Norwegian Sea, Barents Sea and adjacent waters in spring and summer of 2007. The abundance estimates are used in the fish stock assessment of Norwegian spring spawning herring and blue whiting in ICES Northern Pelagic and Blue Whiting Fisheries Working Group (WGNPBW). The collection of environmental data further improves the basis for ecosystem modelling of the Northeast Atlantic. Unfortunately, no hydrographical or plankton expertise participated in the PGNAPES meeting this year. Broad plans for the ICES coordinated surveys for 2008 are also outlined with descriptions of the relevant protocols, preliminary participants and suggested survey designs. 2 | ICES PGNAPES Report 2007 1 Introduction 1.1 Terms of Reference 2007 The Planning Group on Northeast Atlantic Pelagic Ecosystem Surveys [PGNAPES] (Chair: A. I. Krysov, Russian Federation) will meet in Ijmuiden, the Netherlands, from 14–17 August 2007 to: ITEM TOR 2007 SECTION a) Critically evaluate the surveys carried out in 2007 in respect of their utility 3, 4 and 5 as indicators of trends in the stocks, both in terms of stock migrations and accuracy of stock estimates in relation to the stock – environment interactions b) review the 2007 survey data and provide the following data for the 3,4 Northern Pelagic and Blue Whiting Working Group: i) stock indices of blue whiting and Norwegian spring-spawning herring 3.1.2, 3.2.3-4 and 3.3.2.2-4 ii) zooplankton biomass for making short-term projection of herring growth 3.2.2 iii) hydrographic and zooplankton conditions for ecological considerations 3.2.1-2 vi) aerial distribution of such pelagic species as mackerel c) describe the migration pattern of the Norwegian spring-spawning herring 4.3-4 and blue whiting stocks in 2005 on the basis of biological and environmental data d) plan and coordinate

  • Autumn Spawning Herring Around Faroes During Summer 1991
    ICES 1991 PAPER C.M. 19911H:50 Pelagic Fish Cttee AUTUMN SPAWNING HERRING AROUND FAROES DURING SUMMER 1991 by Jan Arge Jacobsen Fiskiranns6knarstovan N6at6n, FR-IOD T6rshavn Faroe Islands • ABSTRACT Investigations in 1990 indicated that concentrations of herring feeding in the Faroese area from May through July were similar to North Sea herring. Again in 1991 North Sea type herring was distributed in Faroese waters in May-July and approximately 16.000 tonnes fished. Results from an exploratory fishery and a research vessel survey showed, as in 1990, that the herring might be an adult part of the auturnn spawning herring in the north-western North Sea migrating into the Faroese area to feed from May to late July. However, in 1991 more by-catch of herring was reported from the mixed industrial fishery than previous years. • 2 INTRonucnoN At prcsent two different groups of hcrring can be id~ntified as occurring at Faroes, one group of Iocal summer spawners found in the fjords', (Täning 1943), and one group of autimm spawners migrating into the Faroese area from May to late July, probably from the north-western North Sea around Shetland isles (Jacobsen 1990). A new fishery on this herring has been established south-east of the isles. The catch figure for 1990 was 5.500 tonnes and the preliminary catch in 1991 amounted to 'over 16.000 tonnes. ,' , ,I".' • In 1991 Fiskiranns6knarstovan received several re ports' on by-ciltches of herring in various fisheries for othcr species arourid the Faroes during the 'spring, and the reported herring was all of the Nortll-Sea type.
