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 may be sampled if time permits.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Second Half of Survey<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>During 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<h4><strong>Sandeel Analyses<\/strong><\/h4>\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) <em>A. marinus<\/em> 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 hand stripped and assigned a maturity stage based on a simple three-point scale (I = immature\/indeterminate sex; MM= mature male; MF = mature female). Immature individuals will be individually frozen for further dissection and assigned to one of two stages (IM =Immature male or IF= Immature Female). (Objective 3).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8919\" style=\"width: 735px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/11\/2018A-Figure-2-Chart-of-dredge-stations-to-be-sampled-in-2018A.-Areas-historically-fished-for-sandeel-are-shown-in-green..jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8919\" class=\"wp-image-8919 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/11\/2018A-Figure-2-Chart-of-dredge-stations-to-be-sampled-in-2018A.-Areas-historically-fished-for-sandeel-are-shown-in-green.-725x1024.jpg\" alt=\"2018A Figure 2 Chart of dredge stations to be sampled in 2018A.
