This project aims to estimate the survival rates of discarded sea bass caught in UK fisheries and has a procurement method classified as "open." The tender period closes on 17th August 2018, with the contract period commencing on 18th August 2018 and concluding on 31st December 2018. The total contract value is set at £25,000, with a minimum value of £10,000, and it falls within the services industry category, specifically related to the hire of vessels with crew. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the fisheries and marine services sector, particularly those specialising in vessel hire and scientific research services. Companies with capabilities in chartering research vessels and providing the necessary crew for fishing operations are well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this tender can help businesses access valuable government contracts and expand their operational reach within the sustainable fisheries management space. ## Notice The primary objective of this project is to estimate survival rate of discarded sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) caught in UK fisheries. The information on sea bass discard survival may be used to supplement management advice, in particular in constructing Discard Plans and evidencing applications for exemptions to the Landing Obligation (LO) for sea bass under the high survival provision. The trials will take place between August 2018 and December 2018. The work will involve a maximum of 14 days of fishing under charter per vessel/gear type. The study will involve the capture of sea bass under normal commercial trawl and gill net practices to record the condition and health state of individual bass. Any live bass will be assessed and (if deemed likely to survive) tagged with electronic tags and released back to sea to help provide evidence of post discard survival. The survey will require two scientists to be onboard the vessel with approximately two metre square clear deck space to carry out scientific procedures during fishing operations.
