Summary

The NWIFCA conducts mussel surveys across its district in order to inform the management of this fishery. Data is collected on the percentage cover of a bed in mussel and other habitat types. The relative proportion of different size classes of mussel is also recorded. Samples are often taken for production of length frequency tables. Mussel beds are usually surveyed irregularly, with an adaptive survey strategy focusing on those beds that are very important commercially or have specific issues around their management.
