Survey : CORE/03/1973 (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 31/01/1973 and 12/02/1973 on Corella

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Historic Granton otter trawl

Survey operations were undertaken on 7 stations

11 different species were caught on this survey

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

PDFs of unpublished historical 'Statistical Charts' held at the Centre for 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).

The feasibility of using catch depletion methodologies as a way of assessing 
edible crab (*Cancer pagurus*) stocks was investigated on the Hastings 
Shingle Bank commercial crabbing ground, situated in the eastern English 
Channel between 20 and 32 km offshore, centred around position 50o 48'N. 00

Glaven and Stiffkey Estuarine and Coastal Investigation - Microbiological analysis

As part of contract C7260, 55 samples of freshwater and seawater were 
collected at sites in the Stiffkey and Glaven catchments and in Blakeney 
Harbour in the winter of 2016/2017. Each sample was tested for concentrations 
of the bacterium E. coli using membrane filtration techniques. The data were 
reported by the laboratory as colony forming units/100ml and the results 
recorded in the form of Excel spreadsheets.

Hydrological sections for England, Scotland and Wales with associated river catchment 2023, Water Framework Directive (WFD) waterbody and regional information British National Grid (BNG).

This dataset consists of hydrologically defined sections (polygons) for the 
whole of Great Britain including river channels and coastal areas up to the 
mean high water line for England and Wales. Each section has the following 
attributes:


-   The devolved administration(s) the section is within
-   The area of the section that is contained within the devolved 
    administration(s)
-   The regional administration (from the Ordnance Survey Boundary Line) that 
    the majority of the section is within
-   The river catchment that the section is within. These are the existing 
    Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) catchment boundaries, new England and Wales 
    catchments to ensure complete coverage of England and Wales, and the 
    Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) catchments.
-   The waterbody river basin district ID and waterbody ID for England and 
    Wales from the Water Framework Directive.

There are 2 versions of this dataset in a geographical coordinate reference 
system (CRS) (EPSG 4236 - WGS84) see `Hydrological sections for England, 
Scotland and Wales with associated river catchment 2023, Water Framework 
Directive (WFD) waterbody and regional information (WGS84)`_* *and this

RV DISCOVERY 200/1993 Low Resolution Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) Data

The data in this archive were collected from CEFAS (Or DFR) research cruises. 
These data were collected in the South Indian Ocean. 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.

Seabed classification and habitat map based on the MBES data collected as part

Services". The project develops local capacity to undertake comprehensive 
marine resource assessments of Anguilla’s ‘Blue-Belt’, delivering best 
practice guidance for combining satellite and acoustic surveys, to extend 
mapping into deeper waters for the first time. The complexity of this 
shapefile means that it can only be dowloaded as a binary file and is not

1990 Eastern Irish Sea Groundfish Survey Catch Data - Silver Star Time Series

A series of groundfish surveys were carried out on the fishing vessel Silver 
Star from 1976 to 1991 in the eastern Irish Sea. Fishing took place using a 
Boris Goshawk trawl towed for an hour. This data is from the 2 surveys carried 
out in 1990. Numbers at length by centimetre of the main commercial fish 
species are recorded. Station positions by area are recorded. A summary table 
is included for cruises 01/90 and 02/90 containing catch data for all other 
species.
