RV CIROLANA 01/1995 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.

Catalogue of Defra Historical Catch and Effort Charts: Six Decades of Detailed Spatial Statistics for British Fisheries

This report describes an inventory of over 37,000 unpublished historical 
'Statistical Charts' held at the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and 
Aquaculture Science (Cefas), Lowestoft, UK. These charts provide annual and 
monthly fisheries statistics at a fine spatial scale for the period 1913-81 
(excluding both World Wars). More specifically, they show the annual and 
monthly landings and catch rates per fish species, and the fishing effort for 
various components of the British commercial fishing fleet. These values are 
indicated separately for each rectangle of 1° longitude by 30' latitude 
(equivalent to International Council for the Exploration of the Sea [ICES] 
rectangles) as well as for the entire area charted (generally equivalent to 
ICES fishing areas).

Survey : TELL/10/1964 (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 23/11/1964 and 02/12/1964 on Tellina

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Otter Trawl BORIS FISH/PRAWN 600 Mesh, 20mm Liner, Rubbers

Survey operations were undertaken on 6 stations

Molecular characterization of an Endozoicomonas-like species associated with mass mortalities of king scallop Pecten maximus L. in United Kingdom

The king scallop Pecten maximus L. is the fastest growing fishery in the UK 
and currently the second most valuable. Mass mortality events in scallops have 
been reported associated with rickettsia-like organisms (RLOs) world-wide, 
however the causative agents were uncharacterised. In May 2013 and 2014 two 
mass mortality events affecting king scallops were recorded in the Lyme Bay 
Marine Protected Area (MPA) South West England. Histopathological examination 
showed gill epithelial tissue infected with RLO at varying intensity. 
Ultrastructural examination confirmed the intracellular location in affected 
epithelial cells. Partial 16S rDNA sequences of a putative RLO obtained from 
infected king scallop gill samples collected from both mortality events were 
identical and had 99.4% identity to 16S rDNA sequences obtained from 
Candidatus endonucleobacter bathymodioli and 95% with Endozoicomonas spp. In 
situ hybridisation assays using 16S rDNA probes confirmed the presence of the 
sequenced RLO gene in the gill tissues. Additional DNA sequences of the 
bacterium were obtained using high-throughput (Illumina) sequencing and 
bioinformatic analysis identified over 1000 genes with high similarity, 
ranging from 77-87% identity, to genes from Endozoicomonas spp.

Historical Research Vessel Logbook Catalogue - UK Government Research Vessel cruises

This report describes a programme to retrieve and properly archive 
uncatalogued Research Vessel (RV) data held at CEFAS Lowestoft, formerly the 
Directorate of Fisheries Research. The earliest records discovered date back 
to surveys undertaken in 1904. For the period up to 1970, when reliable 
computer databases began, records of 2,367 surveys by 12 sea-going research 
vessels and eight estaurine/inshore vessels were located. A description of the 
type of data that were held in each of the 2,475 scientists Log Books from 
these surveys is included in a fully searchable Catalogue. A continuous record 
of research vessel activity is available, except for the periods during World 
Wars I and II. All data are now catalogued and stored in secure modern 
archiving facilities, and the CEFAS Library is the custodian of this data.
