Scientific staff will be transported to Leith to join the vessel on 8 December.<\/p>\n<p>Two regions of historical importance for sandeel fishing will be surveyed (see Figure 1). 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<p>At each dredge station, all sandeels will be identified to species level, measured, and otoliths (5, 8 or 10 depending on length strata, per half centimetre) will be taken for age determination (objective 1).<\/p>\n<p>All 0-group sandeels will be retained and frozen individually for later analysis. Sub-samples of 100 age-1 (size to be determined from age-length keys of sampled catches) A. marinus will be taken from the northerly (latitude &gt; 57\u00b0N) and southerly (latitude &lt; 57\u00b0N) sub-regions (objective 2).<\/p>\n<p>Sandeels selected for ageing will be dissected and macroscopically assigned a maturity stage based on a simple three-point scale (I = immature\/indeterminate sex; M= mature male; F = mature female) (objective 3).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, 70 fin tissue samples will be taken from dissected fish at stations within both northerly and southerly sub-regions, for the purpose of DNA extraction. Standard operating protocols will ensure field techniques are sterile and cross-contamination between samples is avoided. Each Individual caudal fin clip will be immersed in 96% ethanol and stored at the appropriate temperature (objective 4).<\/p>\n<p>*********************************************************************<\/p>\n<p><strong>Figure 1:<\/strong> Location of important sandeel fishing areas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/12\/Figure-1-Locations-of-important-sandeel-fishing-areas.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6509 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/12\/Figure-1-Locations-of-important-sandeel-fishing-areas.jpg\" alt=\"figure-1-locations-of-important-sandeel-fishing-areas\" width=\"379\" height=\"415\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/12\/Figure-1-Locations-of-important-sandeel-fishing-areas.jpg 379w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/12\/Figure-1-Locations-of-important-sandeel-fishing-areas-274x300.jpg 274w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 379px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 379\/415;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table 1:<\/strong> Location of dredge stations.
