2006 - 2006 Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Fisheries Science Partnership - Yorkshire Coast Velvet Crab Survey

The fishing vessels Hollie J and Magdalene Ann were chartered in June 2006 to carry out a potting survey for velvet crabs in the area from Flamborough Head to North of Spurn Point (Bridlington Bay, North Sea, UK) as part of the Fisheries Science Partnership programme 2006/07. The primary objective was to plot the spatial distribution of catch rates of macro crustaceans in the mixed fishery of Bridlington bay. Data are the numbers of crustacea ( Necora puber, Cancer pagurus and Homarus gammarus ) by trap and size distributions of velvet crabs ( Necora Puber ).
