About
Cefas awarded a contract to Robert Mole (Jessica M) for estimating the survival rate of discarded juvenile and adult thornback ray (Raja clavata) caught in the Thames thornback ray otter trawl fishery.

The information was intended to support management advice and applications for exemption from the Landing Obligation under the high survival provision.
The contract value was AUD 8,000.
