Survey : HUXL/82/1906 (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 16/10/1906 and 28/10/1906 on Huxley

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Grimsby style otter trawl Codend with mesh 6.8cm
-   Lowestoft smack beam trawl 43ft 13.1m

Survey operations were undertaken on 28 stations

81 different species were caught on this survey

CLiP Solomon Islands Marine Litter Abundance and Composition

This dataset contains 2 csv files. The file Solomon_Marine_Litter_Data.csv 
contains data on litter found on marine beaches in Solomon Islands between 
November 2018 and January 2019. The number of itemsis reported for each 
litter category. The list of litter categories was obtain merging OSPAR and 
Tangaroa Blue protocols with the addition of region-specific items, which are 
marked with '*'. An array of metadata (location names, survey date, GPS 
coordinates in decimal degrees) is also reported per each data point. 

The file Solomon_Marine_Litter_Metadata.csv reports other metadata 
collected during the surveys following the OSPAR protocol to describe 
factors potentially influencing litter characteristics. A READ-ME text file 
contains a legend of the columns of the csv files. 



This dataset contains 3 csv files. One file contains data on marine litter 
abundance and composition expressed in number of items per category. One file 
contains location names and GPS coordinates in decimal degrees. One file 
contains metadata collected during the clean-ups. A READ-ME text file contains 
description of columns content for the three csv files. Marine litter items 
were collected during beach clean-ups on Guadalcanal Island (Solomon Islands) 
between November 2018 and January 2019. Category list was obtain merging OSPAR

Survey : INA K 1/96 (part of Blackwater Herring Survey (FSS: INA K HER))

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the Blackwater Herring Survey 
(FSS: INA K HER);

A series of cruises carried out from 1989 to 2009 each November on the INA-K 
in the Thames Estuary. The aims of which were to assess the state of herring
(*Clupea harengus*) stocks through measurements of length samples and by 
ageing a stratified selection of fish. The latter was also to determine the 
stock split between North Sea and Thames fish as there is a great deal of 
mixing of stocks in the area. Stock identification was done by a combination 
of first year growth observed in the otolith and the maturity stage of the 
fish.
