title: State Of The Art Report On Biodiversity In Indian Sundarbans: Fishes Checklist

description: The dynamics of the fish communities of the Sundarbans are poorly understood. Although there are many published works on the fish fauna of different states of India including that of West Bengal, there is no comprehensive account of the fishes recorded from the Sundarbans. However, the works of Talwar et al. (1992); Mukherjee (1995); Das and Nandi (1999); and Gopal and Chauhan (2006) report the fish diversity of the Sundarbans. Compilations of the species listed in these works reveal that 364 species distributed under 215 genera are available in the Sundarbans as against 4,494 genera world over.

title: Indigenous ornamental freshwater ichthyofauna of the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve, India: status and prospects: Fishes Checklist

description: Ornamental fishes are the most popular pet throughout the world and figh demand for these fishes has made them an important component of the world fish trade. India contrfibutes a very meager percentage to the world ornamental fish trade; but considering the high ichthyofaunal diversity it has the potential to compete with the world?s leading ornamental fish producers in the near future. Sundarban Biosphere Reserve has abundant waterbodies with rich fish diversity. Although some research has been carried out on ichthyofaunal resources off the Sundarban; detailed documentafion on freshwater indigenous ornamental ichthyofaunal resources off this region is sill not available. To fill this knowledge gap, the present study has been conducted to list the indigenous ornamental ichthyofaunal resources of the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve along with their conservation status and their prospective utilization for improved livelihood of local communities. Eighty four species belonging to 11 orders, 28 families and 59 genera were collected from the study area with species representing the order Cypriniformes dominating the ichthyofauna. Nine species have been listed as Near Threatened in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Indigenous fish species of the Sundarban having great potential to support domestic as well as the international ornamental fish trade from India in near future. The ornamental fish species would also be able to generate alternate livelihood options for the impecunious communities of the Sundarban. However, serious concern must also be paid to the conservation of these fish species as some of them are under near threatened categories of IUCN Red list.

title: Banc d'Arguin a Nursery for fish species

description: In the period from 27-01-2002 until 18-03-2002 126 samples, totalling an area of 6139.58 m2, on different substrates (Zostera, Tidal pool, Sand, Gully Zostera and Gully Cvmodocea) were collected with a Beam trawl in the Baie d'Aouatif, located in the Parc National du Banc d'Arguin, Mauritania. This was done to test the hypothesis that the Banc d'Arguin has an ecological function as a nursery for juvenile fish. 347 individuals of 25 different species were caught, 2 of those species belonged to the class of Cephalopoda. Of the twenty-three fish species, those species belonging to the family of Gobiidae and the Sub-family Syngnathinae were the most common species.

title: Benthic bycatch from dredge surveys for seed mussel (Mytilus edilus) stock assessment, Outer Ards, Northern Ireland

description: This dataset contains presence/absence information of infaunal bycatch from seed mussel stock (Mytilus edulis) assessment surveys off the Outer Ards Peninsula in Northern Ireland. The seed mussel survey is carried out each year and these surveys were carried out between 2017-02-21 and 2018-07-18. The dredge samples are taken from the DAERA Fisheries Protection Vessel Queen of Ulster (formally Banríon Uladh). The main aim of the seed mussel survey is to carry out a stock assessment of seed mussel in areas that are fished for these mussels. The stock assessment surveys use acoustic ground discrimination system (AGDS), dredge surveys (ground truthing) and then in areas where there appears to be high levels of seed mussel an underwater video camera sledge is towed from the RV Corystes for more ground truthing. It is important to note that the information in this dataset was not the key focus of these surveys.

In 2014 is established web platform, where target groups as scuba divers, whale watchers, environmentalist, etc. could introduce photo, location and other information on observed marine species. In the period of two years were registered more than 7000 observations by more than 400 users. All the reported observations where validated by ECOAQUA Ichthyology experts team, and finally encoded applying EU-nomen or WORMS classification.
description: POSEIDON was a citizen science programme for public users to submit sightings of marine species in the Canary Islands (www.programaposeidon.eu). The project was supported by the Fundacion Biodiversidad of the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Environment and run between 2014 and 2015. The specific objectives of POSEIDON project wer: 1- Enrich official biodiversity database with many hard to collect data from marine and coastal species 2- Improve scientific knowledge of the distributional pattern of marine species in the all Macaronesian Region and, particularly in each macaronesian archipelago. 3- Increase the data to assess the seasonality or migratory aspects on certain marine species, linking its presence or absence in a certain archipelago with migratory routes or climate change effects 4- Contribute to disseminate among different sectorial groups, the value of field data collection of marine species and habitats as well as the intrinsic valorization of marine life. The online portal required the citizen / volunteer to register marine life sightings using a current email address. The following elements are included in each sighting: GPS coordinate, sighting date, sighting time, dive duration, the minimum depth, the maximum depth, water temperature, species seen, the size of the species (classified into juvenile and adult), the number of individuals seen, whether a photograph was taken and the environment it was seen in. Each sighting is then validated by a researcher in the Research Institute ECOAQUA of the Univ, of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to ensure the species reported corresponds with the photo uploaded."

title: OTN Bras d'Or Lakes Array

description: This is the OBIS extraction of the Ocean Tracking Network and Cape Breton University (CBU) OTN Bras d'Or Lakes Array, consisting of the release tagging metadata, i.e. the location and date when the tagged animal was released, and summarized detection events of tagged individuals. If readers are interested in the source dataset they may also inquire with the project PIs as listed here or on the OTN web site (https://members.oceantrack.org/project?ccode=BDL).
description: Abstract:The Bras d'Or Lakes Array will use OTN theory and technology to determine the ecological connections between Canada's inland sea (the Bras d'Or estuary of Cape Breton), its watershed, the Scotian Shelf, the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the NW Atlantic Ocean. The intent is to fully instrument the sites of exchange between the major river catchements of the watershed and the estuary, the channels linking the major basins of the estuary, and all channels of exchange between the estuary and the surrounding ocean. Motile anadromous, catadromous, and marine species of significance (e.g., Atlantic salmon, American eel, Atlantic cod) will be acoustic tagged in rivers, bays, banks, and basins of the Bras d'Or to track their movements within the estuary and its watershed, and between the estuary and the surrounding OTN arenas of the NW Atlantic Ocean. The Bras d'Or Lakes Array will be located throughout the Bras d'Or estuary, including all channels connecting the estuarine waters to those of the surrounding ocean, the channels connecting the major basins of the estuary, and the mouths of the main rivers flowing into the estuary. The initial array is composed of 15 stations. An additional 11 sites are proposed for subsequent years, depending on the results obtained during the first tagging experiments.
