RV CORYSTES 05/2004 High Resolution Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) Data

The data in this archive were collected from CEFAS (Or DFR) research cruises. 
They broadly cover the European Shelf with some data from the Iberian Abysal 
Plain. Data were collected using the lowered CTD rosette system which is used 
when the vessel is stationary. Usually bottles were fired at particular depths 
and samples taken for calibration. In early years only a limited set of 
parameters were collected. Notably Pressure (Depth), Temperature and 
Conductivity (CTD). From Conductivity Salinity can be calculated using the 
UNESCO 1978,1983 formulations . In subsequent years more sensors have been 
added, notably fluorometers, Optical back scatter or transmissometers and 
Light (PAR, photo synthetically available radiation). The exact configuration 
varies between cruises and this is reflected in the data format of the output 
files.

Data was collected from research vessels on station, a profile from the 
surface to near the sea bed is undertaken. The down cast data should be a 
clean profile. Water bottles for sample collection and calibration are fired 
on the up cast.

Survey : ENNI/01/1971 (part of CEFAS Historic surveys)

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the CEFAS Historic surveys;

Station and biological data collected during research surveys carried out by 
Cefas (formerly Directorate of Fisheries) in seas around the UK, mostly in the 
North Sea, since 1902. The survey hauls are not laid out systematically as a 
grid, as in current International Bottom Trawl Surveys (IBTS) and are widely 
distributed over (especially) southern and central North Sea areas. Gears and 
protocols were not standardised throughout, due to the long term nature of the 
series. Surveys took place in each season. Data are lacking for the periods of 
both World Wars. In some periods (e.g. the early 1900s), all species caught 
were recorded, whereas in other periods (e.g. 1920s-30s), only the key 
commercial species (e.g., Plaice, Sole and Cod) were recorded systematically. 
Note that some surveys targeted particular species (notably Plaice).

Survey took place between 26/04/1971 and 28/04/1971 on Cirolana

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Beam Trawl 4m steel commercial 3/5 link mat flip up 75mm CE 40mm liner AFT

Survey operations were undertaken on 25 stations

A comparison of benthic biodiversity in the North Sea, English Channel and Celtic Seas. Infauna grab sampling 1992-1994

Samples of the benthic macrofauna were collected from MAFF research vessels at 
each of 25 intermediate and offshore stations around the English and Welsh 
coastlines between 1992 and 1994. This dataset details the infauna present at 
each sampling station.

At each location, five sediment samples for macrofaunal analysis were 
collected using a 0.1m2 Day grab from the central point of a 500 m grid of 
9 stations, the latter being sampled for contaminant analyses only. The five 
replicates were collected from within a 100 m range ring, using SEXTANT 
software and DGPS position-fixing.

North Sea Organic Carbon in Sediments

Concentration of organic carbon from CHN analysis of sediment samples 
collected by box core from sites in the North Sea during three Cefas cruises 
on RV Corystes (Cruise Codes CORY 10/2001, CORY 09/2002 and CORY 8x/2003). 
Cores were sliced into 1cm samples at a range of depths from 0-17cm. These 
have been used to summarise profiles and describe spatial variance within four 
Ecohydrodynamic Units (EHUs).

Seawater temperature records for the UK Shelf - 16 - Cefas ScanFish - North & Celtic Seas

This dataset has been extracted as part of an exercise to assemble "all" Cefas 
Temperature Data and publish it in a Data paper. It is one of 17 Cefas data 
sources assembled. ScanFish is a high performance towed undulating CTD which 
was deployed by Cefas, initially, to aid the understanding of the coupling 
between physical and biological processes (Brown et al., 1996). It was towed 
behind the vessel at approximately 8 knots and undulated from the near surface 
(~4m) to within a few meters (~5m) of the bed, down to water depths of 135m. 
The vertical ascent rate was controlled so that each undulation covered a 
horizontal distance of 1km, regardless of water depth.

A series of groundfish surveys were carried out on the fishing vessel Silver 
Star from 1976 to 1991 in the eastern Irish Sea. Fishing took place using a 
Boris Goshawk trawl towed for an hour. This data is from the 3 surveys carried 
out in 1983. Numbers at length by centimetre of the main commercial fish 
species are recorded. Station positions by area are recorded. A summary table

Nephrops underwater TV Surveys - VHS and DVD footage

Underwater TV (UWTV) surveys are carried out in the Eastern Irish Sea and 
North Sea to record the occurrence of Nephrops (*Nephrops**norvegicus*) 
burrows. This information forms the basis of the Nephrops assessment to 
develop fishery independent indicators of stock size, exploitation status and 
catch advice. The standard methodology involves the use of a sledge mounted 
camera to film the seabed at a fixed set of stations conducting TV tows for 10 
minutes.
