Abstract
In England the fisheries for both scallops (Pecten maximus) and queens (Chlamys opercularis) expanded rapidly in the 1970s. Considerable research has been undertaken to develop an effective method of surveying stocks of these species in order to assess the impact of this greatly increased fishing effort on commercial populations. Visual photographic surveys seemed likely to provide the best means of assessing populations (Pickett & Franklin, 1975) and this paper outlines the preliminary results obtained from such a system - a towed sledge carrying both television and still cameras, developed at the Plymouth Laboratory.
