AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Sublittoral nematode assemblages from four offshore sites around the UK coast, May 1996 to June 1999

Data consists of nematode worms and harpacticoid copepod species abundance 
listed as counts per sample. Samples were collected between May 1996 and June 
1999 from four offshore stations around the coast of the UK (Off Tyne, Off 
Humber, Celtic Deep and Lyme Bay). 

Data including sediment granulometry and trace metal concentrations is also 
available.

Survey : HUXL/10/1903 (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 20/04/1903 and 27/04/1903 on Huxley

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Grimsby style otter trawl Codend with mesh 6.8cm

century, and understanding of whether such large numbers will be maintained in
