IFI_Survey_S15 - Survey Trawling in inshore waters in Waterford

Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced applicants to carry out survey trawling in September 2015 for various species in the Waterford area as part of ongoing national fish monitoring programmes being undertaken by IFI. This sampling requires the services of a trawler (<12 m length) with experienced crew. The skipper will be required to use the vessel’s trawl (of a size suitable for sprat or whitebait, which may require modification depending on its specification). A proposed sampling route will be prepared and the route will be modified following consultation with fishermen and scientists with knowledge of likely productive locations at sea and on an ongoing basis over the course of the actual sampling cruise. It is intended that this sampling will be carried out in the week commencing September 1st 2015 for a period of 5 fishing days (maximum), subject to appropriate permissions/authorizations. An alternative commencement date of 14th Sept may apply depending on circumstances. Project scientists (max. 3) will be on-board for the duration of the operation. All relevant sampling and trawl data will be recorded by the service provider. Flexibility regarding sampling and possible modifications will be required to ensure maximum sampling efficiency.
