Icelandic Beam Trawl Survey ‐ Result summary 2017. HV 2018-27

Stock assessment for plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and dab (Limanda limanda) in Icelandic waters has historically been limited by lack of recruitment data due to the fact that younger fish are rarely caught in the existing bottom trawl surveys. A pilot survey with a beam trawl in the coastal waters of western Iceland was conducted in 2016 and was largely successful.
