RV CIROLANA 01/1993 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.

English Channel Plankton Survey - RV Corystes 08/92

This survey was carried out in the English Channel between 26th June to 21st 
July 1992 by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science. 
Its aim was to locate a patch of crab (*Cancer pagurus*) larvae in 
unstratified water in the English Channel in order to study the vertical 
distribution. Plankton samples were collected at each site on a planned survey 
grid. This data consists of the numbers of crab larvae, along with associated 
positional data and volumes filtered, of the main net samples. Also includes 
LHPR sample numbers.

Results of AquaNet-Mod for projecting the economic burden of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) listed diseases across English and Welsh Salmonid industry

The outputs of the Aquaculture Network Disease Model (AquaNet-Mod), predicting 
the epidemiological and economic burden of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia in 
English and Welsh salmonid farms under various disease control scenarios.

Included are outputs of the AquaNet-Mod from FY22-23. The code for generating 
these outputs can be found at the `aquanet`_ and `aquanet-mod`_ GitHub 
repositories.

For the summary data, there are .csv files which give the epidemic size, 
duration and cost for each simulation. For the epidemic size and duration, the 
files also give an indication as to whether an epidemic died out or timed out.

The summary data contains five zipped output sub-files:


(  1.)scenarios - Contains the outputs of disease control scenarios described 
      in Guilder et al. (in prep) and Kennerley et al. (in prep).
(  2.)fishery_cull - Contains the outputs of the baseline disease control 
      scenario, with different proportions of fisheries able to cull.
(  3.)fallow_period - Contains the outputs of the baseline disease control 
      scenario, with different lengths of fallow period.
(  4.)n_sims - Contains the outputs of baseline disease control scenario, with 
      a different number of simulations. Note: doesn’t contain economic data.
(  5.)sensitivity_tests - Contains the outputs of model sensitivity tests 
      described in Guilder et al. (in prep).

Modelled projections of habitat for commercial fish around North-western Europe under climate change, 2020 to 2060

Environmental Niche Model (ENM) outputs for 49 commercial fish species under 
climate change until the decade of 2060 around northwestern Europe. A model 
ensemble of 5 ENMs was used (MaxEnt, Generalised Linear Models, Support Vector 
Machine, Random Forest and BIOCLIM ), and projections were made under three 
different emission scenarios: A1B, RCP4.5 and RCP 8.5. The data shows model 
agreement (normalised to 1) for presence/absence decadal projections from 2020 
to 2060. Additionally we provide data on model performance, with the Area 
Under the Curve (AUC) scores of the Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) 
curve for each of the 5 ENMs trained for each combination of fish species and 
emission scenario. Only ENMs with an AUC score of at least 0.7 were 
considered.

Hythe Bay Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) Survey Acoustic Data - 2012

Multibeam sonar survey covering Hythe Bay Marine Conservation Zone MCZ in 
2012, Survey line spacing was designed to achieve 100% MBES coverage, thus 
lines were designed based upon 10m line spacing in 0-5m water depth, 20m line 
spacing 5-10m water depth and 30m line spacing for 15m water depth and 40m 
line spacing for 20m water depth and above. Survey cross lines were run at 20x 
mainline spacing. A minimum working depth of 3 metres of water was enforced on 
the survey vessel to maintain the safety of the vessel and crew. This survey 
approach allowed sufficient bathymetry soundings to be taken to meet the IHO 
Order 1a specification of the survey.

Spawning and nursery grounds of forage fish in Welsh and surrounding waters from 2008 to 2020

The maps provide information on the location of spawning and nursery areas of 
several forage fish species in Welsh and surrounding waters, including the 
Irish and Celtic Seas and the western English Channel. The forage fish 
populations inhabiting these waters provide a key source of prey for many 
predators, such as marine mammal and seabird species, including several of 
conservation concern, that either breed or overwinter in the study area. Given 
that several forage fish species in the northeast Atlantic have shown major 
changes in distribution and abundance, up-to-date information on their recent 
distribution patterns is important, including on where the main nursery and 
spawning grounds are presently located. The maps are provided for eleven fish 
species that are prey to marine mammals and seabirds: herring, sprat, sardine, 
anchovy, sandeel, horse mackerel, mackerel and garfish as well as the gadoid 
species poor cod, whiting and cod. Using survey data from 2008 to 2020, 
hotspot maps were created for adults and juveniles of each of the species. 
Data on most of the species was sparse and some of the gears used in fisheries 
surveys were not designed to catch the target species. However, a hotspot 
methodology allowed data from different gears to be standardised and combined 
into a composite map which covered most of the study area during two periods 
of the year (Quarter 1 and Quarter 4). Maps largely corresponded to those 
previously reported although several new species were included for which no or 
limited historic maps were available, specifically sprat, poor cod and 
garfish.
