In April 13^th the “RCG NANS&EA, BS – Inter-sessional subgroup (ISSG) Stomach sampling” meeting took place, attended by participants from nine European Countries (Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Greece and Italy). Presentations we made on the sampling programs of the North Sea, and Spain; and on an online survey regarding stomach content studies. Moreover, the sibling project of STREAMLINE, the FishNCo project (MARE/2020/08) was presented, focusing on the WP and tasks related to stomach content analysis. In the discussion that followed the need of a common protocol, with constant and adequate funding was stressed. With respect to the common protocol, it was clarified that this should refer to general guidelines but regional and/or national protocols could have differentiations.
