title: Hyperiid amphipod abundances from the California Current (24-32°N)

description: The California Current system (CCS) comprise two large regions, one subarctic from central California to British Columbia, and other subtropical from Point Conception, California to the tip of Baja California peninsula. To progress in the knowledge of the subtropical part of the CCS, was created the IMECOCAL program, which means “Mexican Research of the California Current”. The data base presented here is a product of the zooplankton collection during ten IMECOCAL cruises. Zooplankton samples were collected with oblique net tows in the upper 200 m (or from 10 m above the sea floor in shallow stations), using a Bongo net of 500 µm mesh width and mouth diameter of 0.7 m. Four cruises correspond to the four seasons of 2005 and the rest are summer cruises preformed during 2002-2008. Hyperiid amphipods were identified using mainly the taxonomic key for Hyperiidea of the world oceans (Vinogradov et al., 1996). The total number of samples analyzed were 482 but hyperiids were absent in 18. The positive samples were 75% of the oceanic stations collected during nighttime, and the rest were from neritic stations (11% nighttime and 14% daytime). The total number of species found are 125, with strong dominance of Vibilia armata, Lestrigonus schizogeneios, Primno brevidens, and Eupronoe minuta. The abundances of these and other common species changes seasonally as described by Lavaniegos & Hereu (2009), and interannually as observed in summer of the period 2002-2008 for the northern Baja California region (Lavaniegos, 2017) and the Gulf of Ulloa and offshore region (Lavaniegos, under review).

title: Spatial distribution of epibenthic molluscs on a sandstone reef in the Northeast of Brazil

description: The present study investigated the distribution and abundance of epibenthic molluscs and their feeding habits associated to substrate features (coverage and rugosity) in a sandstone reef system in the Northeast of Brazil. Rugosity, low coral cover and high coverage of zoanthids and fleshy alga were the variables that influenced a low richness and high abundance of a few molluscan species in the reef habitat. The most abundant species were generalist carnivores, probably associated to a lesser offer and variability of resources in this type of reef system, when compared to the coral reefs. The results found in this study could reflect a normal characteristic of the molluscan community distribution in sandstone reefs, with low coral cover, or could indicate a degradation state of this habitat if it is compared to coral reefs, once that the significantly high coverage of fleshy alga has been recognized as a negative indicator of reef ecosystems health.

title: Sea birds sightings in the Black Sea recorded by CeNoBS Aerial Expedition in 2019

description: Within the "Support MSFD implementation in the Black Sea through establishing a regional monitoring system of cetaceans (D1) and noise monitoring (D11) for achieving GES", financed by European Commission - No. 110661/2018/794677/SUB/ENV.C2, a dedicated aerial survey for marine mammals, sea birds and marine debris using distance line transect methods was performed in 2019 in territorial and EEZs of five of the Black Sea riparian countries.
description: The action was planned to support the further implementation of Marine Strategy Framework Directive, providing a baseline for marine litter/debris. The project was implemented with the involvement of the 10 project partners and was coordinated by Mare Nostrum and ACCOBAMS Secretariat. For more detailed information on the dataset, including abundances estimates, please contact the project coordinator (marian_paiu@marenostrum.ro) or access the webpage www.cenobs.eu. The line transect distance sampling method has been used for the survey. This method is based on a statistical approach: data are collected by observers on board of aircrafts following specific transects designed to ensure an equal coverage and representation of the study area. For birds and marine litter a strip transect was adopted. The aerial survey has covered the waters of Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Ukraine and Georgia (territorial waters and exclusive economic zones) following pre-defined transect lines within different blocks. The survey design has been later adjusted according to Flight Information Regions (FIRs) constraints, as this was limiting the possibility of flying in specific areas.

title: SHARK - National marine environmental monitoring of Phytoplankton in Sweden since 1983

description: The national monitoring program was initiated by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and is now financed by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. Monitoring is performed by Stockholm University, Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, Gothenburg University and Umeå University.
Data are stored in the Swedish Ocean Archive database (SHARK), by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute. Data should be sampled and analyzed according to the HELCOM Guidelines for monitoring of phytoplankton species composition, abundance and biomass (https://helcom.fi/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/HELCOM-Guidelines-for-monitoring-of-phytoplankton-species-composition-abundance-and-biomass.pdf). However, deviations from the manual might occur. Information about the program and the methods are available in Swedish at the website of Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, https://www.havochvatten.se/vagledning-foreskrifter-och-lagar/vagledningar/ovriga-vagledningar/undersokningstyper-for-miljoovervakning/undersokningstyper/vaxtplankton.html.
"In short, analysis of phytoplankton species composition, abundance and biomass is carried out for the following purposes • to describe temporal trends in phytoplankton species composition, phytoplankton abundance, biomass as well as the intensity and occurrence of blooms • to describe the spatial distribution of phytoplankton species • to identify key phytoplankton species (e.g. dominating, harmful, potential non-indigenous and/or invasive species, as well as indicator species) • to provide basic data for complex ecosystem analyses, food web studies, modelling as well as political and social requirements such as indicators in the frame of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive of the European Union (MSFD; European Union 2008) and the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD; European Union 2000)” (https://helcom.fi/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/HELCOM-Guidelines-for-monitoring-of-phytoplankton-species-composition-abundance-and-biomass.pdf)

title: Colecta de tejidos de Mycteroperca olfax y Dermatolepis dermatolepis en el Archipiélago de Malpelo

description: Actualmente se tiene un conocimiento muy pobre sobre los niveles de conectividad entre poblaciones de especies de arrecife de interés comercial en el Pacifico Este Tropical. A la hora de inferir niveles de conectividad entre diversas poblaciones, los marcadores moleculares modernos como los microsatellites se han probado como una herramienta muy valiosa, ya que una diferencia significativa en la estructura genética de dos poblaciones separadas geográficamente revela la ausencia de intercambio genético entre ellas y por tanto la falta de conectividad. La obtención de los niveles de conectividad genética entre poblaciones es muy valiosa a la hora del manejo pesquero de recursos de interés, ya que si poblaciones en diferentes localidades geográficas de estas especies presentarán una identidad genética diferenciada, su extracción tendría que ser a nivel de localidad en vez de a nivel de su distribución total.
description: En el Pacifico Este Tropical, los miembros de la familia Serranidae (meros y cabrillas) son importantes recursos pesqueros que mantienen pesquerías artesanales en la Reserva Marina de Galápagos (RMG) y otras localidades en Ecuador, Colombia y Costa Rica. Dentro de la familia Serranidae, el bacalao de Galápagos (Mycteroperca olfax) y el mero cuero (Dermatolepis dermatolepis) son dos de las especies más apreciadas y que ha sustentado unos altos niveles de pesca en la RMG. Es así como se presentan, 16 registros de muestras de piel de Dermatolepis dermatolepis y 37 registros de muestras de piel de Mycteroperca olfax colectadas por pesca y buceo científico en el Santuario de Flora y Fauna Malpelo entre el 2014 y el 2018.

title: ReefSYN | Standardized datasets of Brazilian reef diversity in space and time - Dataset XIV: Benthic communities from the Brazilian province

description: This dataset is part of a broader compilation named 'Standardized datasets of Brazilian reef diversity in space and time' created from a research network of reef scientists within several projects and collaborations and finally gathered and published by the ReefSYN group.

This dataset, used by Aued et al. (2018)—data also published on DRYAD (https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.f5s90), includes plot-level cover information of ~100 benthic taxa from 3,855 photoquadrats deployed at 40 localities from 15 different locations, spanning 0° to 27°S. The sampling localities indicated here are the same from Morais et al. (2017). Benthic organisms were identified at the lowest possible taxonomic level (i.e., morphotype, species, order) according to constraints related to image identification. Image processing was done using the Coral Point Count with Excel extensions software (CPCe v. 4.1) (Kohler and Gill, 2006) or the photoQuad software (Trygonis & Sini, 2012). Bare substrate, sediment, lost information (shade, quadrat, tape) and turf were not included in the data because they do not represent taxonomic entities in which DCS standards are based. Sampling descriptors include photoquadrat ID, depth, date or year and, for some samples, observer ID. The geographical information is indicated at the locality level. Six to 20 2 × 1 m horizontal surfaces of reef area on each depth strata, separated by at least two meters of distance from each other, were considered independent sample units. Plots were haphazardly selected for the photoquadrats (25 × 25 cm; following the sampling design in Longo et al. 2019; Dataset IX).
