3.Data entry (to be input to a digital template provided by Cefas), statistical analysis and preparation of a report of findings.
Biological samples (5 per fish-market visit) are to be recorded by vessel/landing from a variety of gear types and vessel sizes. data are to be collected on specimen mantle length (cm) and total weight of the cuttlefish per grade/landing.
Measurements, per gear type, should include 200 specimens from ungraded samples per landing/vessel, and 40 specimens for graded samples (per grade).
