NIOZ Wadden Sea Phytoplankton

Since 1974, bucket water samples have been collected at the NIOZ-Texel sampling jetty, located at the northern side of the Marsdiep tidal inlet between the North Sea and the Wadden Sea (53°00′06″N, 4°47′21″E). Sampling resolution has occurred at an average of approximately 40 times per annum. The first parameters measured were phytoplankton species densities, Secchi disc depth, suspended particulate matter, dissolved nutrients, chlorophyll a, and primary production.
The NIOZ Jetty was chosen as sampling location for logistical reasons including ease of access (no boat necessary) and close vicinity to the NIOZ buildings. Sampling was, and continues to be, performed at high water (±10min) as predicted for Den Helder to keep variation in parameter values as the result of tidal currents as limited as possible. Hence it is Dutch coastal water, which enters the Wadden Sea that is sampled, the phytoplankton in which forms an important subsidy to the food available for suspension feeders. Data of phytoplankton series (e.g. SST, salinity, TSM, chlorophyll-a) are also used to calibrate and validate automated measurements as performed by physical oceanographers at NIOZ.
Phycoerythrin fluorescence and cell counts of phycoeryhtrin containing species, ferry Finnmaid Helsinki - Travemunde, summer 2016

Dataset contains phycoeythrin fluorescence records during transects of ferry Finnmaid 25.5–31.8.2016 (four times per week) between Helsinki and Travemunde. Fluorescence was measured 20 second intervals using Microflu-red (Trios Gmbh) and Unilux -PE (Chelsea Technologies) fluorometers,  installed in flow-through system. Water samples were collected weekly from three locations and ell counts of phycoerythrin containing species were carried out using epifluoresence microsopy (picocyanobacteria) and flowCam (larger cells).
Fluorescence is measured in relative units, using either analog (Trios) or digital (Chelsea) output. The instruments have been intercalibrated before experiment, with coefficient of 40. Detailed information of the instruments (e.g. LoD, LoQ, linearity), measuring protocols and details of cell counts can be obtained from the contact person. Data was collected in the framework of JERICO-NEXT JRAP1.
NIOZ EMOWAD Cruises 1986

The fourth extensive inventory of the demersal fish fauna of the western part of the Dutch Wadden Sea by NIOZ took place in 1986 as part of the EMOWAD project. The aim of the EMOWAD (Ecological Model Wadden Sea) project, was to study the applicability to the western Dutch Wadden Sea of an ecosystem model developed for the Ems estuary. In addition to a modelling exercise, extensive field and laboratory research, including epibenthic fish surveys, was carried out in the period 1986-1987 for model validation.
Monthly demersal fish survey were carried out in the intertidal, subtidal and tidal gullies in 1986 alternating in the Marsdiep and Vlie basin of the western Dutch Wadden Sea. Sampling took place with rubber dinghies in the intertidal and in deeper waters with RV Navicula, launched in 1981 as successor of RV Eider and Ephyra. In contrast to the previous survey by RV Ephyra, fishing was done with beam trawls again. All the fish were identified and measured on board. The programme lasted for a year covering the year 1986.

New record of the humpback whale in the Adriatic Sea in 2009

This dataset represents a record of the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Slovenian territorial waters (north Adriatic Sea) during February, March and April 2009.
This dataset represents a record of the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Slovenian territorial waters (north Adriatic Sea) during February, March and April 2009. This is the first confirmed and documented record of this species for Slovenia and the Gulf of Trieste, the second for the Adriatic Sea and the 14th for the Mediterranean Sea. The whale was observed from the coast and from a small inflatable boat. Its dorsal fin, tail fluke and other body parts were photographed for the purposes of photo-identification and dive times were recorded. A biospy sample was also obtained. The animal was estimated to be a sub-adult or a young adult, about 10-12 m long, apparently in good body condition. Photo-identification matching with the North Atlantic Humpback Whale Catalog did not reveal any matches and the animal was subsequently included in the catalog.

The whale stayed in the area for 2 months and was repeatedly observed and recorded during the period. This dataset contains only one record from the observations.

Research was conducted under the scientific permit of the Slovenian Environmental Agency, number 35601-29/2009-4.
ICES Biological community dataset

DOME contains marine environmental data featuring: 

 North-East Atlantic, Greenland sea, Baltic sea and Norwegian sea
 Contaminants in biota, sediment and water, fish disease and biological communities
Data are quality assured using internal and external programmes. For example, the national laboratories that take part in monitoring programmes related to contaminants and biological effects that submit information to ICES, subscribe to the Quality Assurance of Information for Marine Environmental Monitoring in Europe (QUASIMEME) or the Biological Effects Quality Assurance in Monitoring Programmes (BEQUALM) inter-laboratory proficiency-testing schemes and perform internal quality assurance. ICES operates through a network of scientific expert and advisory groups. These groups, and the processes they feed into, act as a quality check on the marine evidence, both in terms of how the evidence was gathered and how the evidence has been subsequently treated. The groups, in cooperation with regional programmes under the Regional Sea Conventions, set standards and guidelines for the collection, transmission and analysis of these data.
In addition, the ICES Secretariat provides supplementary quality assurance through its internal programmes related to the different types of marine data collection datasets, which is fedback to the participating national and regional programmes. These internal and external programmes and procedures have been established over a period of 30 or more years. They continue to evolve and strive to reflect the best available practices in the collection and treatment of marine data relevant to the ICES community.
Zooplankton monitoring of the Lisbon Bay, Portugal, since 2005

This data was acquired at the Cascais monitoring site, which is a station of the time-series CASCAIS-WATCH, the oceanographic observation programme of the Oceanography and Plankton Group of the Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera (IPMA). The station is located off Cascais Bay, outside the Tagus River estuary at 38°40’N 09°26W, in a water depth of around 38m. Zooplankton samples are collected from 30m to the surface on a monthly basis with a WP2 net (50cm diameter, 200μm mesh).
Samples are divided in two: one half is preserved in 4% borax-buffered formalin in seawater and later examined for identification and counting of mesozooplankton. The other half is lyophilized and weighted for biomass determination. Neuston samples are also collected using a rectangular net with a mouth opening of 0.2×1.0 m and 200µm mesh size, towed horizontally at the surface for 3 to 5 minutes. Besides zooplankton monitoring, temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll a are measured with a CTD fluorometer. The reaults are analysed for information regarding the abundance, seasonal distribution and biodiversity of zooplankton in the area.
Observations of three Idotea species (I. balthica, I. chelipes and I. granulosa) in Northern Europe, including the Baltic Sea

Marine isopods of the genus Idotea Fabricius 1798 are common meso-grazers of the benthos. Approximately 30 different species exist worldwide, including eight species in Europe. Only three species, namely Idotea balthica (Pallas, 1772), I. chelipes (Pallas, 1766) and I. granulosa Rathke, 1843, were able to colonize the brackish environment of the Baltic Sea. To understand the ecology and distribution patterns of these key species under on-going environmental changes, occurrence data were collected from museum collections and own sampling.

22 stations were sampled. The following measurements were carried out: CTD, FluoroProbe casts, FRRF casts, CytoSense continuous recording, Chlorophyll a extraction, SPM filtration, Phytoplankton preserved samples, Nutrients.
Phytoplankton biodiversity data from a North Sea Cruise with R/V Endeavour in June 2016

Phytoplankton data collected in the framework of Jerico-NEXT JRAP 1.Biomass and diversity of phytoplankton communities were determined using  FerryBox and on line flow cytometer at 4 meters. A new R-shiny application (https://openscience.cefas.co.uk/phytoops_tool/) displays biological, physical and biogeochemical parameters in different UK marine coastal areas in 2016 and 2017.
Flow cytometry analyses were performed every hour from the same inlet water as the FerryBox during the survey. Discrete samples were taken using CTD rosette at 4 metres to calibrate the chlorophyll fluorescence. The analysis of the phytoplankton functional types were done manually (according to the knowledge of the operator), and the discrete samples were analysed by HPLC (DHI, Denmark). All data  from the FerryBox (fluorimetry, turbidity, salinity, temperature, oxygen) as well as HPLC and flow cytometry followed specific quality controled procedures before being available.

Abundance and diversity of the Amphipoda (Crustacea) from the Greenlandic shelf

Dataset result of the research on the species composition of Amphipoda of the Greenland shelf. In total 154 species were identified.
The species composition of Amphipoda (Crustacea: Malacostraca: Peracarida) of the Greenland shelf south of 65°N was investigated by means of 18 epibenthic samples over a sampling period of three years (2001, 2002, 2004). The samples were taken using a Rauschert sledge in depths between 106 and 251 m. In total, 62,205 specimens were identified belonging to 154 species. The amphipods from the South Greenland shelf represent in general a homogeneously distributed community with respect to evenness (J’), diversity (H’) and Hurlbert’s rarefaction E (S500). Multivariate analyses of the species abundances divided the amphipods into a southeastern and southwestern fauna. Among the species most contributing to the separation between East and West, Hardametopa nasuta, Photis reinhardi and Phoxocephalus holboelli were identified. With respect to evenness and diversity, the amphipod community was stable over the three years. We used the WORMS database to present species in this metadata.
