Since 2003, a stratified random summer bottom trawl survey has been conducted by EU-Spain in the NAFO Regulatory Area, Division 3L (Flemish Pass). This survey is carried out on board the R/V “Vizconde de Eza” during July and August using always the same bottom trawl net type “Campelen 1800”, with a mesh size of 44 mm cod-end and trawl doors of 1400 kg. Survey is designed for the assessment of fishery resources. Information on marine mammals (2006-2019) and seabirds (2012-2019) was collected throughout these surveys, as an opportunistic sampling. No sea turtles were observed during the study period.
