title: Caracterización del caracol pala Lobatus gigas en la Isla Cayo Serrana durante la Expedición Seaflower 2016 - Proyecto Colombia BIO

description: El caracol pala Labatus gigas, es una especie multiuso gracias a que su carne es conocida como fuente principal de alimento para los habitantes del Caribe, la coloración de su concha hace que sea vendida con propósitos ornamentales y la perla rosada que produce tiene un alto valor en el mercado internacional. Este gasterópodo es de gran importancia comercial, siendo después de la langosta espinosa (Panulirus argus) la segunda pesquería de mayor importancia económica en el Caribe. La sobrepesca, la degradación del hábitat, la extracción ilegal del recurso en épocas de veda, la falta de control y vigilancia por parte de las autoridades han llevado a una disminución continua y significativa de las poblaciones en la mayoría de los países donde se distribuye, produciendo el cierre total o parcial de las pesquerías en muchas localidades del Caribe. Además estos hechos conllevaron a que en 1992 esta especie fuera incluida en el Apéndice II de la Convención sobre el Comercio Internacional de Especies Amenazadas de Fauna y Flora Silvestres CITES, y en la Lista Roja de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza, IUCN. Actualmente en Colombia, el Archipiélago de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina -ASPS- es la región de mayor importancia en pesquería de L. gigas aunque ha mostrado tendencias decreciente en los desembarcos, disminuyendo cerca del 80% en toneladas de carne desde principios de los 90’s al 2002. Hechos que llevaron a que la pesquería estuviera cerrada entre el 2004 a 2007 y 2011. Las autoridades ambientales y pesqueras del ASPS iniciaron a partir del 2002 estudios enfocados a L. gigas, a fin de aportar información para la definición de medidas de ordenamiento pesquero y establecer estrategias de aprovechamiento y conservación El presente proyecto buscó actualizar los resultados sobre el estado actual del recurso en banco Serrana, de la Reserva de Biosfera Seaflower en relación a evaluar la capacidad del caracol de soportar o no una pesquería.

title: UNESCO eDNA expedition in Gulf of Porto: Calanche of Piana, Gulf of Girolata, Scandola Reserve (France): March 2023

description: This dataset contains the eDNA data collected as a part of the UNESCO eDNA expeditions in Marine World Heritage Sites project in 2022-2024. The project was coordinated in collaboration with the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) of IOC-UNESCO and the marine programme of the UNESCO World Heritage Center, and funded by the government of Flanders (Kingdom of Belgium). The samples were collected with citizen science eDNA sampling kits, containing a syringe and a filter, and preserved with Longmire's buffer, before sequencing at a central laboratory. Five different biomarkers were analysed, including 12SMifish, Mimammal, Teleo, 16S-Vert and COI markers. The sequences were analysed with the PacMAN pipeline and quality controlled including a validation check by local scientists and site managers as well as compared to existing knowledge on species distributions in OBIS and GBIF. The full sampling protocols and materials are available on the project website (https://www.unesco.org/en/edna-training-materials?hub=66910), and the bioinformatics pipeline is on github (https://github.com/iobis/PacMAN-pipeline). The data can also be explored on the eDNA expeditions dashboard (https://dashboard.ednaexpeditions.org/).

title: Benthic Haploniscidae (Isopoda) collected around Iceland during the BIOICE, IceAGE, IceAGE2,IceAGE_RR and IceAGE3 expedtions in 1992-2020

description: Benthic Haploniscidae (Iopoda) in this data set were collected during BIOICE (Benthic invertebrates of Icelandic waters), IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology), IceAge 2 (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology 2), IceAGE RR (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology Reykjanes Ridge) and IceAge 3 (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology cruises 3) projects during 1992- 2020
description: The marine environment around Iceland is a heterogenous habitat with many ridges, coral reefs and vents which is due to the region sensitive to climate change. Through a series of BIOICE cruises, extensive taxonomic knowledge as well as data about the distribution of the local marine fauna was gained and an extensive dataset was created. To further broaden the understanding about the local fauna, in 2011 the first cruise of the IceAGE project aimed to resample certain BIOICE stations. To further aid ecological research, new stations were added, abiotic parameters were measured, and genetic samples were collected. This dataset contains three haploniscidae genera and haploniscidae 13 which were collected around Iceland. Sampling was conducted at a depth between 64 m and 2750 m utilizing detritus sledges, triangle dredges and an Agassiz trawls during the BIOCE project and with an EBS (Epi benthos sledge) during the four IceAGE projects. During the BIOICE detritus sledge samples underwent a series of different sieving steps but agassiz trawl and triangle dredge samples were hand-picked on board. Detritus sledge samples were afterwards tored in 5% buffered formalin (Brökeland et al., 2017). During the IceAGE projects sample were cooled on board of the research vessel until further processing. Hand-picked specimens were fixed with RNA later and undenatured 96% ethanol others were frozen for further analysis. Samples which underwent a sieving process were stored in 96% denatured ethanol.

title: Soft-bottom macrozoobenthos from the coastal Bulgarian Black Sea collected in 2022 by IBER-BAS, BRIDGE-BS project

description: Abundance (individual counts) and biomass (g) of macrozoobenthic taxa at soft-bottom stations along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, collected during a field survey of IBER-BAS in 2022 as part of project BRIDGE-BS (https://bridgeblacksea.org/). The dataset also contains organism life stages, sediment type (Folk16), and EUNIS L3 habitat type at the stations.
description: Samples were collected as part of coastal surveys along the Bulgarian Black Sea cond ucted under BRIDGE-BS project, aimed at gathering spatially referenced data on the biodiversity, community structure and ecological condition of selected dominant soft-bottom benthic ecosystems to complement existing datasets in the area and fill gaps therein. An attempt was made to cover as many different MSFD national habitat types as possible based on previous data and modeling (Emodnet Seabed habitats). Sampling was performed by Van Veen grab (0.05 m2 sampling area) and diver-operated hand corer (10 cm internal diameter, ~20 cm sediment penetration depth). Samples were sieved on a 0.5 mm mesh sieve, and fixed in 10% formaldehyde-seawater solution until analysis. In the laboratory, samples were hand-sorted under a stereomicroscope to the lowest possible taxonomic level (preferably species), and counted. Individual biomass was measured as preserved wet weight on an analytical scale to the nearest 0.0001 g; mollusks were weighed with their shells, and tubicolous polychaetes and her mit crabs were taken out of their tubes/shells before weighing.

title: Caracterización de microcrustáceos zooplanctónicos en la parte Norte de la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, Magdalena

description: El zooplancton está representado por una comunidad de organismos heterótrofos que se alimentan generalmente de fitoplancton y bacterias (Piontkovski, et al. 2013) los cuales tienen muy poca movilidad y están a merced de las corrientes de agua (Steinberg and Condon 2009). En los ecosistemas marinos costeros poco profundo, el zooplancton está dominado principalmente por Copépodos (Piontkovski, et al. 2013). El zooplancton en los ecosistemas acuáticos juega un papel preponderante en el funcionamiento de estos cuerpos de agua ya que pueden transferir la energía desde los productores (fitoplancton, algas) hacia los consumidores de nivel superior (larvas de peces, camarones entre otros) (Melão et al., 2005, Sterner, 2009) y además participan en el reciclado de nutrientes (Schenone et al., 2021). Asimismo algunos miembros del zooplancton pueden considerarse indicadores biológicos ya que pueden responder rápidamente a estímulos ambientales y adaptarse a estos (Fernández, 2015), muchos de ellos son utilizados como alimento vivo a las larvas de peces por su alto contenido de nutrientes y fácil digestión (Grubišić et al. 2017), igualmente la mayoría de los integrantes del zooplancton suelen considerarse como indicadores biológicos, por la capacidad que tienen algunos en adaptarse en ambientes hostiles de temperatura y salinidad (Fernández, 2015).

title: 2015_PHD_VERHELST_COD - Acoustic telemetry data for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Scheldt estuary and southern North Sea (Belgium)

description: This is an acoustic telemetry dataset published by Ghent University. It contains animal (fish) tracking data collected by the Permanent Belgian Acoustic Receiver Network (https://lifewatch.be/en/fish-acoustic-receiver-network) for the project/study 2015_phd_verhelst_cod, using VEMCO tags (V9, V13, V13AP) and receivers (VR2AR, VR2C, VR2Tx, VR2W). In total 106 individuals of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) were captured, tagged and released between 2014 and 2018 in the Scheldt estuary and Belgian Part of the North Sea, to study movement behaviour between the estuary, sand bars, shipwrecks and wind farms.
description: Estuaries and coastal areas are subject to anthropogenic activities, as the largest harbours and economic activities are located along river banks and close to shore. Known to have a high habitat diversity, estuaries and coastal areas play a key role in the life cycle of many organisms, including marine fish. As such, these areas can serve as transport routes, foraging or nursery areas. In order to conserve these areas in a cost-efficient and sustainable way, a better understanding of the ecosystem functions and services is needed. The western Scheldt estuary and adjacent coastal area of Belgium are an important migration route and resident area for marine fish. We selected the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) as an economically important indicator species for marine fish species, to assess the importance of estuarine and coastal areas as a key habitat for this species. The results of this study will be useful for management measures for the conservation and restoration of the cod population. This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by VLIZ and INBO funded by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch. Data were exported from the European Tracking Network data portal (http://www.lifewatch.be/etn) developed by VLIZ using the ETN R package (https://inbo.github.io/etn/) developed by INBO. Field definitions can be found at https://inbo.github.io/etn/articles/etn_fields.html.

title: Macroalgas de las zonas costeras de Santa Marta, Magdalena

description: La industria de la acuicultura de algas se ha incrementado significativamente en los últimos 50 años debido al aumento en la demanda de diversos productos con aplicación en la industria de alimentos, farmacéutica y cosmética (Alemañ, Robledo, & Hayashi, 2019). El valor anual de productos derivados de algas marinas se estima entre 5500 y 6000 millones de dólares, de donde aproximadamente el 80% deriva de los productos alimenticios (FAO, 2004). La producción mundial de plantas acuáticas de cultivo, predominantemente dominada por algas marinas, aumentó su volumen de producción de 13.5 millones de toneladas en 1995 a poco más de 30 millones de toneladas en 2016 (FAO, 2018).
description: Los mayores productores de algas marinas son China (47,9%) e Indonesia (38,7%) seguidas por Filipinas, la república de Corea y Japón, abarcando el 98,7% de la producción mundial en 2016 (FAO, 2018). Debido a los beneficios a la salud que conlleva el consumo de estas algas, algunas partes de Estados Unidos, Canadá, América del Sur, Irlanda, Islandia y Nueva Escocia han incrementado la demanda mundial, lo cual supera la capacidad de la oferta procedente de las reservas naturales. Avances en investigaciones relacionadas con los ciclos de vida y condiciones de cultivo de las algas marinas ha permitido el desarrollo de industrias de cultivo las cuales actualmente producen alrededor del 90 por ciento de la demanda del mercado (FAO, 2004).
description: Entre las especies mas cultivadas de algas marinas en el este de Asia se encuentran Pyropia, Porphyra, Laminaria japónica, Eucheuma, Kappaphycus alvarezzi y Undaria pinnatifida (FAO, 2018).
description: La producción de algas marinas en Latino América tan solo corresponde al 1,2% (370.000 toneladas) de la producción mundial y a diferencia de lo que ocurre en el resto del mundo tan solo el 4% de esta producción es obtenida a partir del cultivo de las algas marinas, mientras que el 96% restante se obtiene de las reservas naturales (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2018).
