## Notice

The trials will take place between September 2019 and December 2019. The work will involve a maximum of 14 days of fishing under charter. The study will involve the capture of sea bass under normal commercial trawl 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 up to three scientists to be onboard the vessel with approximately two metre square clear deck space to carry out scientific procedures during fishing operations.
