In the first half of the survey a series of eight dredge stations to the east of the Firth of Forth will be sampled following the protocol established in 1999. A modified scallop dredge will be used to catch sandeels buried in the substrate at the priority stations given in Table 1 and Figure 2. Further stations in this region will be sampled if time permits. In the second half of the survey, the dredge will be deployed at stations 20-36 in the Turbot bank region (Table 1, Figure 2). Ideally, five repeat tows will be conducted at each station although this may be reduced to a minimum of two if catch quantities are low or available time is limited. Dredge duration will be approximately ten minutes at a towing speed between two and three (ideally 2.5) knots.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10518\" style=\"width: 335px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/12\/2219ATab1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10518\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10518 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/12\/2219ATab1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"558\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/12\/2219ATab1.jpg 325w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/12\/2219ATab1-175x300.jpg 175w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/12\/2219ATab1-298x512.jpg 298w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/12\/2219ATab1-245x420.jpg 245w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 325px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 325\/558;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Table 1: Location of dredge stations.
