Trawl Catches

The distribution and relative abundance of macroepibenthic echinoderms in the eastern English Channel and Irish Sea is described from beam trawl catches. Echinoderms accounted for approximately 29% (by biomass) of fauna captured. A total of 24 species were recorded, including 12 species of starfish. The most frequently encountered species were Asterias rubens and Psammechinus miliaris, which were recorded at 85.5% and 56.0% of stations respectively. Asterias rubens and Ophiothrix fragilis accounted for 63.7% and 25.5% (by biomass) respectively of the echinoderms sampled. Mean echinoderm catches ranged from 0.8-kg h−1 in the north-eastern English Channel to 329-kg h−1 in the south-eastern Irish Sea. The echinoderm fauna was more diverse in the St George's Channel and western Irish Sea (6.7–7.0 species haul−1) than in the north-eastern English Channel (1.9 species haul−1).

Measurements of fecundity are given for plaice (Pleuronedes platessa L.) sampled from Cardigan Bay. Values were compared with those obtained in 1953 from Cardigan Bay and from the eastern Irish Sea, and no differences were found; a marked contrast to results from the North Sea. Analysis of egg size showed that eggs develop earlier in older fish. A mechanism for ‘fine-tuning’ of fecundity is discussed. Size and age at maturity are calculated for Cardigan Bay plaice, and are compared with rates from surrounding areas. Plaice mature at an earlier age in Cardigan Bay.

Box Corer

Between 1983 and 1989,66 stations in the north-eastern Irish Sea offshore from Sellafield, Cumbria, were sampled by Reineck box corer to assess the abundance and distribution of the benthic macro-infauna. A total of 40 taxa was identified, of which the predominant group was polychaetes. Cluster analysis of the abundance data showed a division into three station clusters. Simple discriminant analysis showed that the three clusters were correlated (P<0.01) with sand, silty sand and sandy silt sediments. However, the three station groups did not show any clear pattern of characterizing taxa with sediment classification. The bioturbating potential of each taxon is reviewed. A method of weighting abundance data by a factor representing an estimate of individual taxon bioturbating potential is also suggested. This technique is illustrated and discussed by using the weighted data in a further cluster analysis to identify probable areas of high inf aunal bioturbation off Sellafield.
