| Description | |
| Abstract | The German Small-scale Bottom Trawl Survey (GSBTS) was initiated in 1987
in order to provide complementary investigations to the International
Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS) in the North Sea, using the same methodology
but focussing high-intensity sampling on selected survey areas. Over the
last 20 years, the initial number of 4 survey areas (10 × 10 nautical
miles; “Boxes”) has been increased to 12, which are distributed over the
entire North Sea.
