Flatfish (dab, plaice or flounder) will be collected for determination of disease status, contaminant concentrations and contaminant-induced biological effects from the Bowling, Holy Loch, Hunterston (contaminants only), Garroch Head, Outer Clyde, and Solway Firth fishing stations (Table: 2). The catamaran neuston net will be towed at five knots in order to survey and sample sea-surface litter from the Solway Firth, the Clyde estuary and the inner, middle and outer Firth of Clyde (Table; 3). Bycatch from the fishing trawls will be sampled adventitiously for determination of microplastics in stomach contents; sediment samples will be taken for determination of microplastics; benthic macrolitter collected during trawling will be identified and quantified.<\/p>\n<p><strong>General Arrangements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Liquid nitrogen and other chemicals (e.g. formalin, methanol) will be carried aboard for the preservation and storage of biological materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table 1:<\/strong> Intended sediment sampling locations.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"70\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Region<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Area<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Site<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"57\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Lat<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Long<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"70\">Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Inner Firth of Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Off Cloch Point<\/td>\n<td width=\"57\">55.948<\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">-4.894<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"70\">Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Inner Firth of Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">East of Strone Point<\/td>\n<td width=\"57\">55.984<\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">-4.881<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"70\">Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Inner Firth of Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Lunderston Bay<\/td>\n<td width=\"57\">55.923<\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">-4.911<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"70\">Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Inner Firth of Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Weymss Point<\/td>\n<td width=\"57\">55.897<\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">-4.926<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"70\">Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Inner Firth of Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">E of Toward (UIFM 2)<\/td>\n<td width=\"57\">55.868<\/td>\n<td width=\"47\">-4.945<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"70\">Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"131\">Inner Firth of Clyde<\/td>\n<td width=\"208\">Holy Loch &#8211;
