Trawl samples were taken within the wind farms (between the turbine rows, just outside the edges of the concessions and at reference stations more Sampling activities were in Febuary-March and/or in September-October from 2005. 8 meter shrimp trawl (22 mm mesh in the cod end) equipped with a bolder chain. The net was towed during 15 minutes at an average speed of 4 knots.
