Phytoplankton functional trait database from "Long-term monitoring data shed light on in situ feeding preferences in bivalves: a taxonomic and trait-based approach to phytoplankton"

We built a trait database of 385 phytoplankton taxa recorded in five Atlantic bays in France between 2009 and 2018. We focused on seven traits known or potentially expected to be determinant for bivalve molluscs nutrition, including morphological traits such as maximum cell size, shape and cover (i.e. cell wall structure), the ability to form colonies, presence of spicules, ecological (habitat) and physiological (harmfulness) traits. The database published by Ramond et al. (2019 - doi.org/10.17882/51662) served as the starting point for traits related to cell size, cell cover, colony building and spicules. Other traits and final missing information were completed with a systematic review of the literature, the references of which are given in the database. This literature research was carried out starting with sites located in France and then moving further afield in Europe and the rest of the world depending on the information available. With the exception of harmfulness, we used the following specific rules to define the traits of taxa identified at taxonomic ranks above the species: (i) the traits of the most abundant species in the dataset were assigned to the corresponding genus (in the rare cases where no species were identified, the assigned traits were those of the species/genus observed elsewhere in France or the most abundant species/genus in the same family), (ii) the traits of the most abundant genera were assigned to the corresponding family, (iii) the traits of a virtual taxon (i.e. a group of taxa with similar morphologies) were those of its most abundant member. The table (.xlsx format) comprises three spreadsheets: i) a main database with trait values for all phytoplankton taxa and associated references, and details of the references used for ii) cell shape, harmfulness and ecological habitat and iii) the other traits.

Fortune Bay (NL, Canada) oceanographic observations May 2015 - May 2017

A comprehensive set of oceanographic data were collected in Fortune Bay, a broad, mid-latitude fjord located on the south coast of Newfoundland (Canada). The dataset was gathered in partnership with IFREMER who collected data around the adjacent French archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. The dataset consists of data from taut-line moorings, land-based stations (a tide gauge and a couple of weather stations) and CTD profiles performed during mooring maintenances (~every 6 months). Parameters covered by the moorings include water column temperature (thermistor chain), salinity (2 points/depths per mooring), dissolved oxygen (on a limited number of moorings, within the surface layer) as well as current profiles (ADCP). Land-based stations monitored water level and temperature (tide gauge) and wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, air temperature and solar radiation (weather station). CTD profiles include dissolved oxygen for the most part. The program lasted two full years from May 2015 to May 2017 and sampling interval varied from 1-60 min depending on the instrument.

"Characterization of sound scattering layers in the Bay of Biscay using broadband acoustics, nets and video" acoustics and biological Data

Sound scattering layers (SSLs) are observed over a broad range of spatio-temporal scales and geographical areas. SSLs represent a large biomass, likely involved in the biological carbon pump and the structure of marine trophic webs. Yet, the taxonomic composition remains largely unknown for many SSLs. To investigate the challenges of SSL sampling, we performed a survey in a small study area in the Northern Bay of Biscay (France) by combining broadband and narrowband acoustics, net sampling, imagery and video recordings. In order to identify organisms contributing to the observed SSLs, we compared measured frequency spectra to forward predicted spectra derived from biological data. This dataset comprises the echo-integrated broadband acoustic data (in Sv(f)), the nets position and depth, and the abundance and the size of the catched organisms acquired during a specific operation of SSLs sampling during (Blanluet et al.)-[https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0223618].

Eelgrass campaign oxygen dynamics

Continuous measurements (every 10 min) of dissolved oxygen (DO) and water temperature were made with miniDOT oxygen optode loggers (Precision Measurement Engineering, Vista, CA, USA, in the following termed “oxygen logger”) at the three main sites.
The chamber incubations were done in triplicates and at the three types of habitat in April, June and August, corresponding to mean temperatures of 9, 16 and 21°C, respectively. Chambers consisted of gas impermeable transparent plastic bags (19 x 42 cm; diameter x height = 12 L) attached to a hard PVC collar, which was secured firmly into the sediment with metal plugs. Incubations were made over a period of approximately 24 hours with logging of oxygen, temperature and light every 10 minutes by a oxygen logger and a light logger placed at a depth of about 30 cm above the seafloor inside each chamber fixed to a metal stick placed into the sediment.

seabirds density Dutch continental shelf

The Shortlist Ecological Monitoring Wind Farms at Sea project is a one-year research program in which a number of urgent knowledge gaps are filled. For example, research is being conducted into the impact of pile driving on marine mammals and the distribution, foraging and migration patterns of seabirds are being mapped. This information is relevant for the construction of offshore wind farms. The Shortlist for Ecological Monitoring of offshore wind farms, in short Shortlist, is the result of the "Master Plan for Ecological Monitoring of offshore wind farms", a joint initiative of the ministries of IenM and EZ. The aim of the Shortlist research program is to acquire additional knowledge about the effects of offshore wind farms. This knowledge is necessary for, among other things, the granting of permits. Research institutes TNO and IMARES are conducting the Shortlist studies, in collaboration with SeaMarco and Bureau Waardenburg, among others (quote from source: http://www.informatiehuismarien.nl/projecten/shortlist-ecologische-monitoring/)
Pelagic Trawl Fishing Effort

This dataset shows the distribution of fishing effort by fishing vessels according to the gear type used. Fishing effort is defined as the time spent engaged in fishing operations or time spent at sea, this time may be multiplied by a measure of fishing capacity, e.g. engine power. In this dataset fishing effort is measured as average hours spent actively fishing per kilometre square, per year. Data from years 2014 to 2018 was used to produce this data product for the Marine Institute publication the “Atlas of Commercial Fisheries around Ireland, third edition“ (https://oar.marine.ie/handle/10793/1432).
Socheongcho Ocean Research Station (Socheongcho ORS): delayed mode dataset, annual release (2023)

Socheongcho Ocean Research Station (Socheongcho ORS) opened in October 2014, and was built to help advance the understanding of the dynamics of the Yellow Sea, including its influence on Korea’s marine, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments, via the continuous and simultaneous multidisciplinary observation of local air and sea environments. Socheongcho ORS is located in the central Yellow Sea about 50 km off the western coast of the Korean Peninsula. Its steel-jacket framed tower-type platform was built near the submarine rock named “Socheongcho” by the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST). The Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA) has operated this platform since January 1, 2016. Socheongcho ORS stands 42 m in height above the datum level (DL) and consists of a boat landing plus 7 decks (Bottom Deck, Intermediate Deck, Cellar Deck, Accommodation Deck, Main Deck, Roof Deck, and Heli Deck). Most of its meteorological instruments and sensors are installed on the Roof Deck, including two anemometers, two barometer, two air temperature sensors, and two relative humidity sensors. Ocean temperature and salinity have been relatively consistently measured at Socheongcho ORS. Aanderaa inductive-type conductivity-temperature (CT) sensors are installed at depths of 5.5 m throughout the entire year, operating at 1 min sampling intervals by KHOA. Residential facilities are on the Accommodation Deck and the electrical control room are on the Main Deck, while a seawater desalination system and a diesel generator system are installed on the Cellar Deck.

Turbidity (NTU) data from the LTER-Eastern Ligurian Sea Site (Italy), 2020-2021

Since 2015, ENEA as coordinator of the Eastern Ligurian Sea site in the Long Term Ecological Research Network (LTER) has collected turbidity data at different depths (Centroid/Representative Coordinates Latitude: 44.002684 Longitude: 9.992889; https://deims.org/56a6b13f-7c03-4bfa-ad4f-5f7e0f8189ca). Turbidity is measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU), referenced to a proper turbidity standard. Turbidity measurements are performed by using a nephelometric turbidimeter connected to a CTD probe (mod. SBE19plus). For each profile, the CTD is deployed at well-known depths together with the GO-FLO bottle (for Total Suspended Solids samples) by using the winch of the research vessel. Turbidity measures are acquired at a sampling rate of 4 Hz and stored in the internal buffer of the CTD, ready to be downloaded for post-processing. Turbidity values range up to about 80 NTU, but the main part of measures is below 20 NTU. The LTER Eastern Ligurian Sea site has as its main purpose the study of coastal ecosystems (especially coralligenous communities and long-lived benthic species in the area), hydrodynamic processes and, in the long term, the effects of climate change. The dataset proposed here refers to the years 2020 and 2021, and will be upgraded periodically.

Historical Records of Shallow-Water Shrimp Landings in the Colombian Caribbean: 1993-2023

This database contains information on the landings of the shallow-water shrimp fishery in the Colombian Caribbean, with monthly records available from 1993 to 2023. The data include the year and month of landing, the common names of the species caught, their commercial presentation, and the quantity landed in tons. According to historical information, there is no consistency in taxonomy. Common names and their corresponding species are described as follows: From 1993 to 1998: Red shrimp: Penaeus (Farfantepenaeus) notialis, Pleoticus robustus; White shrimp: Penaeus (Farfantepenaeus) duorarum, Penaeus (Farfantepenaeus) aztecus, Penaeus (Litopenaeus) setiferus, Penaeus (Litopenaeus) schmitti; Tití shrimp: Xiphopenaeus kroyeri; Shrimp (Trachypenaeus): T. similis, T. constrictus; In the year 1999: Red shrimp: Pleoticus robustus; White shrimp: P. (Litopenaeus) schmitti; Shrimp (Trachypenaeus): T. similis, T. constrictus; From 2007 onward: Pink shrimp: P. (Farfantepenaeus) notialis; White shrimp: P. (Litopenaeus) schmitti. In the year 2023 only "shrimp" is recorded, encompassing different species of the Penaeidae family. Currently, these species are taxonomically identified as: Pink shrimp (P. notialis) and White shrimp (P. schmitti). The records also mention the term "national shrimp," which refers to a group of species that did not meet the minimum size for international trade and were destined for local markets. Additionally, the recorded landings originate from vessels using trawl nets, with Cartagena as their main port. In the early years, the nets were made of polyamide with headrope lengths (HRL) ranging from 65 to 90 feet. Later, flat or semi-balloon polyethylene (PE) nets with HRLs of 42 to 46 feet were introduced. A smaller fleet of trawlers operating from Tolú adopted net designs with HRLs of 37 and 42 feet.
