Survey : CORE/6/1973 (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 02/04/1973 and 13/04/1973 on Corella

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Otter Trawl Engels 800 Suberkrub doors, Liner

Survey operations were undertaken on 5 stations

16 different species were caught on this survey

RV CORYSTES 11/1991 Low 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 Abyssal 
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.

2007-2008 North Sea Sediment Oxygen Profiles

This dataset records the depth to which free oxygen is available in seabed 
sediments; referred to as the Oxygen Penetration Depth (OPD). It also includes 
the original oxygen profile data, recording the depeletion of oxygen as the 
sediment is penetrated. Samples were collected from sites in the North Sea: 
Northern Dogger Bank, Oyster Ground and Sean Gasfield during various cruises 
on RV Cefas Endeavour throughout 2007 and 2008.

Small pelagic fish sampling programme 2017/18 - Fisheries Science Partnership

This Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) project initiated a self-sampling 
programme, through collaboration between industry and scientists, to respond 
to the need of data. Fishers filled in dedicated logbooks with trip and haul 
details; measuring boards and (sub) sampling buckets were provided and were 
used by fishers to collect length frequency distribution measurements twice 
per months. An image recognition software was developed to automate the 
digitisation of the handwritten logbooks and datasheets into spreadsheets. A 
similar sampling scheme was agreed with the relevant processors, who provided 
information on total catches per trip, length frequency distribution and 
individual weights.

Environmental correlates of large-scale spatial variation in the Delta13C of marine animals

Carbon stable isotopes can be used to trace the sources of energy supporting 
food chains and to estimate the contribution of different sources to a 
consumer's diet. However, the δ13C signature of a consumer is not sufficient 
to infer source without an appropriate isotopic baseline, because there is no 
way to determine if differences in consumer δ13C reflect source changes or 
baseline variation. Describing isotopic baselines is a considerable challenge 
when applying stable isotope techniques at large spatial scales and/or to 
interconnected food chains in open marine environments. One approach is to use 
filter-feeding consumers to integrate the high frequency and small-scale 
variation in the isotopic signature of phytoplankton and provide a surrogate 
baseline, but it can be difficult to sample a single consumer species at large 
spatial scales owing to rarity and/or discontinuous distribution. Here, we use 
the isotopic signature of a widely distributed filter-feeder the queen scallop 
(*Aequipecten opercularis*) in the north-eastern Atlantic to develop a model 
linking base δ13C to environmental variables. Data includes catch data, 
isotope analysis data, environmental data and associated positional data.
