CHARM Consortium data with spatial patterns identified and described quantitatively using geostatistics from datasets including International Beam Trawl Data Survey data and Continuous Underway Fish Egg Sampler (CUFES) in the English Channel and the southern North Sea by IFREMER Carpentier et al. 2009).
The fish ecology section of the ES should be cross-referenced with that of the commercial fisheries.

East Anglia ONE (ERM 2012)
Sandeel should be referred to as Ammodytidae, since there are five species, with possibly three to four in the area.
In addition to the diadromous species, it should be acknowledged that some of the other species listed (eg demersal, pelagic and elasmobranch fish) will also undertake migrations (eg plaice will migrate from spawning to feeding grounds) and so there may be seasonal differences in their habitat utilisation within the study area.
The East Anglia ONE PEIR authors concluded there would be no cumulative effect of wind farm and nearby shipping route since the fish would be habituated to the higher sound levels of the shipping route. This conclusion cannot be followed since fish might already be displaced from habitats by the busy shipping route and are facing additional habitat loss due to noise especially during wind farm construction.
Mitigation measures should be investigated as part of the EIA, e.g. restricting pile-driving activity during peak spawning periods.
section 11.5.5 and Appendix 11.2, and cross referenced where appropriate
This Chapter and Appendix 11.2 Sandeels are referred to as Ammodytidae.
This Chapter, and Appendix 11.2
The migratory and seasonal movement of relevant fish species (including non- diadromous species) has been described
Section 11.6.
The potential cumulative noise impacts of the wind farm together with existing shipping are discussed.
