Lampetra fluviatilis in the Sylt Rømø bight in 2008

Due to changing temperature regimes in the North- and the Wadden Sea, a fish survey in the Sylt Rømø bight (SRB) was established in 2007 for at least ten years. The aim is to investigate the Wadden Sea fish fauna with special interest in changes of migration behavior, species composition and feeding habits. Seven stations are sampled monthly inside the SRB. Two additional stations, one outside the bight, one close to the Danish border are sampled as references four times a year. For sampling a mini bottom trawl, total length 17 m, trawl opening 7 m, height 3 m with a mesh size of 36 mm in the wings, 16 mm in the mid part and 6 mm in the cod end is used. At every station one haul in the water column and another at the bottom are sampled, for 15 minutes at a speed of approximately 2 knots. The data will help to give a more detailed picture of food chains and energy flows inside the Wadden Sea.

鉴于北海与瓦登海的水温格局发生变化，2007年启动了叙尔特-勒姆湾（Sylt Rømø Bight, SRB）鱼类调查项目，计划至少持续十年。本项目旨在调查瓦登海鱼类区系，重点关注鱼类洄游行为、物种组成以及摄食习性的变化。叙尔特-勒姆湾内设有7个采样站位，每月开展一次采样。另设2个参照站位：1个位于湾外，另1个毗邻丹麦边境，每年开展4次采样。采样采用小型底拖网：拖网总长度17米，网口张开宽度7米、高度3米，网翼网目尺寸为36毫米，中部网身网目为16毫米，囊网网目为6毫米。每个站位均开展两次采样：一次为水层拖网采样，一次为底层拖网采样，单次作业时长15分钟，拖曳速度约2节。本项目所获数据将有助于更细致地刻画瓦登海内部的食物链与能量流动格局。
