L’Unité de recherche HMMN, créée en 2005, appartient depuis 2011 au Département Ressources Biologiques et Environnement (RBE), qui est l’un des 4 Département scientifiques de l’IFREMER, avec les Départements Océanographie et Dynamique des Ecosystèmes (ODE), Recherches physiques et Ecosystèmes de fond de Mer (REM) et Infrastructures de Recherche et Systèmes d’Information (IRSI). L’Unité de recherche HMMN est constituée de deux laboratoires, l’un situé à Boulogne sur mer dans les Hauts de France (LRHBL) et l’autre à Port-en-Bessin en Normandie (LRHPB). Ces deux laboratoires, ainsi que les autres laboratoires des Départements ODE et REM localisés à Boulogne s/mer et Port-en-Bessin (ODE: deux Laboratoires Environnement Ressources, LERBL et LERN; REM: un Laboratoire Comportement des Structures en Mer, LCSM), sont rattachés administrativement au Centre de Manche – Mer du Nord (CMMN) de l’IFREMER. L’équipe HMMN effectue des recherches en écologie marine et halieutique, principalement centrées sur les écosystèmes de Manche et Sud mer du Nord. Ces recherches trouvent un prolongement dans l’appui aux politiques publiques concernant la conservation des écosystèmes marins et l’aménagement des pêcheries et d’autres usages du domaines maritime (e.g., extraction de sables et granulats marins, production d’énergies marines renouvelables), dans un contexte de changement climatique. L’unité HMMN contribue à la collecte de données halieutiques et écosystémiques en mer, par enquêtes, et en laboratoire, et centralise à travers la cellule CREDO, le traitement et l’envoi des données halieutiques requises par une variété d’organismes scientifiques, gestionnaires, professionnels et non gouvernementaux. HMMN coordonne trois campagnes en mer à grande échelle régionale et héberge trois infrastructures technologiques: un Pôle National de Sclérochronologie (PNS), une Plateforme Réseaux Trophiques (PRT), et un Pôle de Taxinomie et d’Ecologie du Zooplancton (PTEZOO). En cherchant à mieux comprendre les interactions entre les ressources halieutiques et leur environnement (biotique et abiotique), dans un contexte de changement global, l’unité HMMN contribue spécifiquement à plusieurs des enjeux définis dans le projet de l’institut: E6 (Évaluer le devenir des écosystèmes côtiers dans le changement global), E9 (Identifier les effets des interactions entre groupes fonctionnels sur la dynamique des écosystèmes exploités), E10 (Évaluer la résilience et anticiper les changements d’état – points de basculement des socio-écosystèmes et de la biodiversité associée aux différents niveaux d’organisation), et E13 (Identifier de nouvelles bioressources marines). Ces enjeux sont déclinés au sein de l’Unité dans trois Thèmes scientifiques correspondant à des niveaux d’organisation systémique de plus en plus complexes : Individus, Populations et Niches Ecologiques (Thème 1); Communautés, Réseaux Trophiques et Biodiversité (Thème 2); Flottilles, Exploitation et Scénarios de Gestion (Thème 3). Les approches méthodologiques menées en 2021 pour améliorer notre compréhension des processus ont utilisé et/ou combiné des analyses empiriques de données d’observation in-situ, expérimentales et de modélisation, ces dernières étant directement liées à deux défis du projet d’Institut : D2 (l’expérimentation pour améliorer notre compréhension des processus) et D3 (la modélisation prédictive intégrée des socio-écosystèmes). Enfin, l’unité HMMN a joué en 2021, comme au cours des années précédentes, un rôle de catalyseur pour les sciences marines au niveau régional d’une part dans les Hauts-de-France comme membre actif de la Fédération de Recherche Campus de la Mer, l’un des chefs de file de projets CPERs et enfin comme unité participant à l’École universitaire de recherche transdisciplinaire pour les sciences marines, l’halieutique et les produits de la mer (Transdisciplinary graduate school for marIne, Fisheries and SEAfood sciences, IFSEA) mis en place en 2021 dans le cadre des PIA4 de l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) et d’autre part en Normandie comme membre de la Fédération de Recherche Merlin. De plus, l’unité HMMN a continué à renforcer son implication dans les régions ultrapériphériques (RUP), avec plusieurs projets comme Accobiom ciblant la Guadeloupe, la Martinique, la Guyane et la Réunion mais aussi à travers de nombreux travaux et expertises menés à Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. Enfin, au niveau international, l’unité HMMN contribue aussi au rayonnement de l’IFREMER au travers de recrutements (chercheurs, post-doctorants, étudiants en thèse) et de l’implication à haut niveau de chercheurs HMMN dans des projets de recherche européens et de groupes de travail structurants (e.g., présidence de GTs du CIEM, du CSTEP, de RCGs, experts nommés pour le GIEC ou l’IPBES). En 2021, de nouveaux projets structurants pour l’unité HMMN ont été acceptés (e.g, CPER IDEAL, FORESEA 2050, MAESTRO, SAR, CARPARC, IPREM, ACCOBIOM). Une thèse a été soutenue 2021 avec succés et deux nouvelles thèses ont démarré. L’équipe a également maintenu son niveau d’engagement dans l’APP, qu’il s’agisse d’avis et expertises (nécessitant dans le cadre de certains Groupes de Travail internationaux des visioconférences de plus d’une réunion en présentiel), ou de réalisation de campagnes à la mer (IBTS, CGFS, COMOR, DCSMM, IGA).

The objectives of the Working group on Surveys on Ichthyoplankton in the North Sea and adjacent Seas (WGSINS) were to review Ichthyoplankton surveys undertaken for assessment purposes, coordinate the surveys in 2020, prepare data for archiving, provide quality assurance on species identification and identify additional objectives that can be achieved within the existing survey designs. The international herring larvae surveys in the North Sea (IHLS) were in autumn 2018 and early 2019 affected by severe technical problems of one of the research vessels. As a consequence, spatial information on larvae abundance around the Orkney/Shetlands and in the English Channel was too limited to be included in the herring assessment 2019. Only abundance data of the Buchan and Banks components were used. The MIK net (Midwater Ring Net) sampling during the first quarter international bottom trawl survey in 2019 (Q1 IBTS) reported foraging herring larvae in higher quantities in the western part of the North Sea, the Southern Bight and in the Skagerrak. In the eastern part of the North Sea, the potential nurseries, abundance of larger larvae was very low, and virtually no larvae occurred in the German Bight. Simulations on sampling effort reduction showed the MIK index to be relatively stable, even when sampling is reduced by 50%, but such a reduction could be disadvantageous for representative sampling of less abundant species. As an addition to the conventional MIK sampling, a sampling programme on herring larvae recruiting from the Downs stock component has been carried out during 2018 and 2019. The Downs recruitment survey (DRS) revealed larger quantities of foraging larvae, which are so far not integrated in the recruitment index of North Sea autumn spawning herring. The Rügen herring larvae survey (RHLS) considers the major spawning areas of western Baltic spring spawning herring. There is no substantial herring recruitment in the area. Several studies tried to utilize surveys to gather additional information. The Northern Irish MIK survey (NIMIK) usually provides recruitment information on gadoids, but also collect information on the wider ecosystem. As one example, a two decade long time-series of gelatinous zooplankton abundance and distribution in the Irish Sea has been built on survey catches. A pilot study tried to use samples from the Q3 IBTS to establish a sprat recruitment index. Results from 2018 and 2019 indicate very promising potential, but wider area coverage would be beneficial. Thus participating countries are welcome to contribute to the ongoing study. Analyses of three years of litter sampling during MIK surveys revealed sources of litter in the water column, and uses the MIK net flowmeters to quantify the amount. The samples may also provide insights into possible pathways of drifted material. While progressing with the original survey objectives, WGSINS will continue to invest efforts in using herring larval surveys to provide additional information. WGSINS will summarize information on co-occurring fish larvae, and establish time-series to form the basis for further analyses of species distribution, abundance and, if possible, trends in recruitment.

The ICES herring assessment working group (HAWG) met on an interactive virtual platform for eight days in March 2020 to assess the state of five herring stocks and three sprat stocks. HAWG also provided advice for four sandeel stocks but reported on those prior to this meeting in February. The working group conducted update assessments for the five herring stocks. An analytical assessment was performed for the combined North Sea and Division 3.a sprat, and a data limited assessment (ICES category 3) was conducted for English Channel sprat (spr.27.7de). The North Sea autumn spawning herring (her.27.3a47d) SSB in 2019 was estimated at 1.7 mill tonnes while F2–6 in 2019 was estimated at 0.18, which is below FMSY. Recruitment in 2019 is comparable to the 2018 value and remains within the low recruitment regime observed since 2015. Year classes since 2002 are estimated to be consistently weak with year classes 2014 and 2016 some of the weakest on record. ICES considers that the stock is still in a low productivity phase.The Western Baltic spring-spawning herring (her.27.20-24) assessment was updated. The SSB and recruitment in 2019 are record low. SSB is estimated to be around 56 600 tonnes which is below both Bpa and Blim. Recruitment has been low since 2006 and it has been further deteriorating with time. Fishing mortality has decrease in 2019 to 0.382 but is still well above FMSY (0.31). The stock has decreased consistently during the second half of the 2000s and given the continued low recruitments the stock is not able to recover above Blim unless a drastic reduction in fishing effort is applied.The Celtic Sea autumn and winter spawning stock (her.27.irls) is estimated to be at a very low level. SSB is currently estimated to be at the lowest level in the time-series and has been below Blim (34 000 t) since 2016. Mean F(2–5 rings) was estimated at 0.49 in 2019, having decreased from the peak of 1.15 in 2017. Recruitment has been consistently below average from 2013-2018. Recruitment in 2019 is estimated to be above average. The assessment of the combined stocks of herring in 6.aN and 6.aS/7.b, c (her.27.6a7bc) went through an interbenchmark procedure in 2019 and the advice is based on trends from an analytical assessment. SSB and recruitment have been declining since around 2000 and are currently at the lowest level in the time-series. Fishing mortality has reduced since 2016 when catches have been limited to a scientific monitoring TAC but recovery of the stock is hampered by the very low recruitment.Irish Sea autumn spawning herring (her.27.nirs) assessment shows a stable SSB in 2019 compared to previous years at around 24 700 tonnes. The stock has experienced large incoming year classes in recent years. Fishing mortality (F4–6) is estimated at 0.18, one of the lowest in the timeseries and below FMSY (0.266). Catches have been relatively stable since the 1980s, and close to the TAC in recent years. North Sea and 3.a Sprat (spr.27.3a4) were combined into a single assessment unit during the 2018 benchmark. Perception of the status of the stock is dominated by the dynamics in Subarea 4 where most of the catches occur. Despite the fact that fishing mortality in the last years has fluctuated at high levels between 0.6–2.2, recruitments slightly but consistently above the average during recent years have contributed to an increase in SSB well above MSY Bescapement. The estimates for 2020 show an SSB of 266 000 t which is more than double of Bpa (125 000 t).Catch advice for sprat in the English Channel (7.d, e) (spr.27.7de) was based on criteria for an ICES category 3-based method. Data available are landings and a short time-series of acoustic biomass (2013–2019). The acoustic biomass has fluctuated over time and the 2019 biomass has increased from the 2018 estimate. The HAWG reviewed the assessments performed on four sandeel stocks and the related advice of these stocks. Section 9 of this report contains the assessments of sandeel in Division 3.a and Subarea 4. Standard issues such as the quality and availability of data, estimating the amounts of discarded fish, availability of data through industry surveys and scientific advances particularly with respect to stock discrimination relevant to small pelagic fish were discussed. All data and scripts used to perform the assessments and the forecast calculations are available at https://github.com/ICES-dk/wg_HAWG and accessible to anyone.

Condition indices aim to evaluate the physiological status of fish larvae by estimating both the level of starvation and potential of survival. Histological indices reveal direct effects of starvation whereas biochemical indices such as lipid classes or RNA:DNA ratios are used as proxies of condition, giving information on the amount of energy reserves and growth rate, respectively. We combined these three indices to evaluate ontogenetic variations of growth performance, lipid dynamics and nutritional condition of plaice larvae caught in the field during winter 2017 in the eastern English Channel and the Southern Bight of the North Sea. RNA:DNA ratios showed that larvae at the beginning of metamorphosis (stage 4) had a lower growth rate than younger individuals (stages 2 and 3). A significant increase in the proportion of triglycerides also occurred at stage 4, indicating energy storage. Histological indices indicated that most of the larvae were in good condition, even younger ones with low lipid reserves. There was, however, an increase in the proportion of healthy individuals over ontogeny, especially with respect to liver vacuoles which were larger and more numerous for stage 4 larvae. Combined together, these condition indices revealed the ontogenetic shift in the energy allocation strategy of plaice larvae. Young larvae (stages 2 and 3) primarily allocate energy towards somatic growth. The decrease in growth performance for stage 4 was not related to poor condition, but linked to a higher proportion of energy stored as lipids. Since the quantity of lipid reserves is particularly important for plaice larvae to withstand starvation during metamorphosis, this could be considered as a second critical period after the one of exogenous feeding for larval survival and recruitment success.

Monitoring n° 30 of PENLY nuclear power - plant takes into account studies between March and September 2017. Hydrology, microbiology, phytoplankton, zooplankton and fishing are studied. This power-plant has been in operation for twenty-eight years., La surveillance n° 30 sur le site de PENLY couvre la période de mars à septembre 2017.

The ICES herring assessment working group (HAWG) met for seven days in March 2018 to assess the state of five herring stocks and four sprat stocks. HAWG also provided advice for seven sandeel stocks but reported on those prior to this meeting. The working group conducted update assessments for five of the herring stocks. An analytical assessment was performed for North Sea sprat, and data limited assessments (ICES category 3 and 5) were conducted for English Channel sprat and Division 3.a sprat. The assessment of sprat in the Celtic Sea (spr.27.67a–cf–k) was not updated this year.The North Sea autumn spawning herring (her.27.3a47d) SSB in 2017 was estimated at 1.9 mill tonnes while F2–6 in 2017 was estimated at 0.21, which is below the management plan target F2–6 and below FMSY. Fishing mortality on juveniles, mean F0–1 is 0.032, below the agreed ceiling. Recruitment in 2017 is estimated to be very low. The estimate of 0-wr fish in 2017 (2016 year class) is estimated to be at approximately 18 billion, which is very low even compared to other recent low recruitments. Year classes since 2002 are estimated to be consistently weak with year classes 2015 to 2017 some of the weakest on record. ICES considers that the stock is still in a low productivity phase.The Western Baltic spring spawning herring (her.27.20-24) assessment was updated. The SSB in 2017 was relatively stable compared to recent years and is estimated to be around 104 000 tonnes. Fishing mortality has been estimated at 0.33 which is is above the estimate of FMSY (0.31). Recruitment has been low since 2006 and 2017 is the lowest observed in the time-series. Under a historical perspective the estimate of SSB of 104 170 tonnes in 2017 is considered low, below both Bpa and Blim, The stock has decreased consistently during the second half of the 2000s and given the continued low recruitments the stock seems not to be able to recover to these higher biomass levels.The Celtic Sea autumn and winter spawning stock (her.27.irls) is estimated to be at a low level, declining from a recent high biomass that peaked in 2011. SSB is currently estimated at 36 000 tonnes in 2017, coming down from 136 000 tonnes in 2011. Mean F(2–5 rings) was estimated at 0.4 in 2017, having increased from 0.06 in 2009. Recruitment has been good in recent years with several strong cohorts (2004, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2013) entering the fishery but has come down substantially in the most recent years with the poorest year class in 2015.The 2017 SSB estimate of 6.a/7.b, c herring (Her.27.6a7bc) the combined stock of 6.aN and 6.aS/7.b, c was 113 000 tonnes, well below Bpa. Continued low recruitment has caused a decline of the stock which is expected to continue in the near future although fishing mortality is low at 0.05–0.1 in recent years.Irish Sea autumn spawning herring (her.27.nirs) assessment shows a stable SSB in 2017 compared to previous years at around 27 000 tonnes. The stock has experienced large incoming year classes in most recent years. Fishing mortality is estimated at the lowest level in the time series at 0.15, below FMSY. Catches have been relatively stable since the 1980s, and close to TAC levels in recent years.North Sea sprat (spr.27.4) is an ICES category 1 stock with a fully accepted analytical assessment. The stock is estimated to be at the highest level since the 1970s in 2018, driven by relatively high recruitment in 2017. The stock appears to be well above Bpa (142 000 tonnes) in 2018 at 408 808 tonnes. Fishing mortality in the last years has fluctuated between 0.4–2.3. A recent management strategy evaluation (WKMSYREF2) suggested that the Bescapement management strategy is not precautionary.Sprat in Division 3.a (spr.27.3a) was benchmarked in 2013 (WKSPRAT), however, it is an ICES category 3 stock that uses three survey series, from which an abundance index is derived, and landings data. ). The surveys show variability over time without a clear trend. The most recent annual change is positive compared to the 4 years before.Catch advice for sprat in the English Channel (7.d, e) (spr.27.7de) was based on criteria for an ICES category 3-based method. Data available are landings and a short time series of acoustic biomass (2013–2017). The acoustic biomass indicates an overall decline in the stock size. Quantitative advice was provided for Sprat in the Celtic Sea (spr.27.67a–cf–k) in 2017 using an ICES category 5-based method where only data on landings are available; this assessment was not updated this year as the advice is still valid and the perception of the stock has not changed. A sprat benchmark is taking place in the summer/autumn of 2018.The HAWG reviewed the assessments performed on seven sandeel stocks and the related advice of these stocks. Section 11 of this report contains the assessments of sandeel in Division 3.a and Subarea 4. Standard issues such as the quality and availability of data, estimating the amounts of discarded fish, availability of data through industry surveys and scientific advances relevant for small pelagic fish were discussed. All data and scripts used to perform the assessment and perform the forecast calculations are available on GitHub and accessible to anyone.
