Location description (1957)

Winter Shoal (2-8 fm.). The Asia Shoal ground ends in a bank of stones overlying black mud. An extensive bed of Mytilus (with many Ophiothrix) occurred here in the early 1950s, but has now (I957) died out leaving a deposit of shells. On these sheIls, and on stones, Calyptraea chinensis is abundant. Towards the southern side of the shoal the bottom is composed of a thin layer of gravel over the mud which is inhabited by Cerianthus lloydi. In this area many Crangon vulgaris and Pandalina brevitostris may be trawled during the winter.
