The Working Group on Nephrops Surveys (WGNEPS) is the international coordination group for Nephrops underwater television and trawl surveys within ICES. This report summarizes the national contributions on the results of the surveys conducted in 2023 together with time series covering all survey years, problems encountered, data quality checks and technological improvements as well as the planning for survey activities for 2024.

In total, 24 surveys covering 27 functional units (FU’s) in the ICES area and 1 geographical subarea (GSA) in the Adriatic Sea were discussed and further improvements in respect to survey design and data analysis standardization and the use of most recent technology were reviewed.

The group agreed to hold a workshop in 2025 to address burrow size estimations to update correction factors and terms of reference for this to be agreed at next meeting.

Automatic burrow detection based on deep learning methods continues to show promising results where datasets from multiple institutes were used.

Plans are being progressed for an international Nephrops UWTV database to be established at the ICES data centre with a subgroup.
