2017 Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) Mothecombe Seine Net Fish Survey

Two survey sites at Mothecombe Beach and in the middle of the River Erme (at low tide) were surveyed by MBA work experience students and Jack Sewell using two different methods. Seine netting was carried out from Mothecombe beach approx 10-20 metres offshore, and push nets were used in the middle of the River Erme at low tide. The species caught by both methods, were recorded to species level where possible and time permitting. Both the frequency (count data) and the lengths of each individual were captured.
