title: Norfish: Flemish herring fishery, 1386-1790

description: NorFish is a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant led by Prof Poul Holm in Trinity College Dublin, focuses on the premise that a 16th century shift in marine fish pricing and supply in conjunction with the Little Ice Age and lowering of sea temperatures not only rise to the North Atlantic Fish Revolution but also forms one of the first documented examples of the disrupting effects of globalisation and climate change. The project examines the role of the Fish Revolution for a range of inter-related aspects of North Atlantic history, with NorFish’s interdisciplinary team drawing on archaeology, history, cartography, geography, and ecology to develop interpretative frameworks that synthesise a broad spectrum of source data to assess the overall objective of the project. NorFish’s interdisciplinary team draws on archaeology, history, cartography, geography, and ecology to assess the objectives of the project.
description: From medieval times and into the early modern period, the port of Oostende (Ostend) was a primary fishing port on the Flemish coast, second only to Nieuwport (Nieuwpoort) in Flanders. The Flemish coastal fisheries produced an industry that was highly developed and influential, reaching markets of the Hanseatic League along the Baltic coast, England and the Mediterranean. This “Golden Age” of Flemish Fisheries Oostende’s fishing effort was interrupted by natural effects such as the silting of its harbour, and numerous human affects such as warfare and political interference. However, due to ingenuity and fortitude of its fishermen, and the application of revolutionary modern techniques for treating caught fish, the industry developed apace.

title: Posidonia Oceanica Survey 2005 (EurOBIS)

description: Survey data on Posidonia oceanica was gathered by volunteer divers during spring and summer 2005 in Cala Montgo, a sheltered bay and popular anchorage, near L'Escala within the Bay of Roses. Three sites were selected for comparison and 64 square metres were sampled in total. Data was recorded on P. oceanica density, and the diversity of flora and fauna, within square metre samples. Whilst conclusions cannot be drawn about causality in relation to differences in P. oceanica density, or the presence of key species, between study sites; the measures obtained provide a baseline against which to make comparisons in future years. It is planned to continue the process of Posidonia oceanica monitoring on an annual basis in the light of the threat to Posidonia oceanica posed by the building of a 130,000 square meter fish farm in the Bay of Roses.

title: 2013_ALBERTKANAAL - Acoustic telemetry data for European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and hatched Salmon (Salmo salar) in the Albert canal (Belgium)

description: This is an acoustic telemetry dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). 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 2013_albertkanaal, using VEMCO tags (V7, V9, V13) and receivers (VR2AR, VR2Tx, VR2W). In total 161 female individuals of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and 134 (hatched) smolts of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were captured, tagged and released between 2013 and 2017, to study the effect of shipping locks and hydropower plants on their downstream migration in the Albert canal.
description: Navigation locks play an important role for ship navigation on canals and other regulated waterways worldwide. Unfortunately, these structures may severely impact the aquatic ecosystem and freshwater fish in particular. In Belgium (Europe), the Albert canal connecting the Meuse river to the Scheldt river, is an important migration route for European eel (critically endangered) and Atlantic salmon (vulnerable). During their downstream migration these fish are hampered by six subsequent navigation lock complexes present in the canal. Three of which are by-passed by a small channel leading to a hydropower plant with large Archimedes screw turbines. In the coming years, three more such hydropower plants are to be installed next to three of six ship lock complexes. The Archimedes screws function both as pump and turbine (hydropower generator). Two dimensional fine scale positioning, as well as impact assessment through assessment of fish injury and mortality at the Archimedes screws, was performed to better understand the overall impact of these anthropogenic structures on diadromous fish, such as eel and salmon. 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. The study was commissioned by the Vlaamse Waterweg NV. 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.

title: Selected Methods for Monitoring Physical and Biological Parameters for Use in the Mesoamerican Region: Fishes Checklist

description: The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS), extending from Isla Contoy on the north of the Yucatan Peninsula to the Bay Islands of Honduras, includes the second longest barrier reef in the world. It is approximately 1,000 km long and spans over four countries and two trans-boundary areas: Chetumal Bay, between Belize and Mexico; and the Gulf of Honduras, between Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. The MBRS is unique in the Western Hemisphere due to its length, composition of reef types, and diverse assemblage of corals and related species. The MBRS contributes to the stabilization and protection of coastal landscapes, maintenance of coastal water quality, and serves as breeding and feeding grounds for marine mammals, reptiles, fish and invertebrates, many of which are of commercial importance. The MBRS is also of immense socioeconomic significance providing employment and a source of income to an estimated one million people living in adjacent coastal areas.

description: Abstract:The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) project was designed to develop and promote the application of acoustic tagging technology to study the life history of Pacific salmon and other species migrating along the continental shelf of western North America. POST envisioned the eventual creation of a permanent continental-scale telemetry system, however, during its existence more limited pilot-scale arrays were deployed, primarily concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. These included several acoustic receiver curtains between Vancouver Island and the mainland, creating an excellent means by which to monitor coastal marine animal migrations, especially by juvenile salmonids (smolts) migrating to sea (see projects QCS, JDF and NSOG). In addition to arrays on the continental shelf, POST equipment was deployed upstream and in the estuaries of several major salmon-producing rivers. POST arrays, and POST data, were incorporated into the OTN in 2012. The integration of these arrays, their equipment and the associated animal tagging projects into OTN's global network allowed for international, widespread monitoring of important species within the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Tracking data generated from the POST arrays can be applied to the development of fishery management policies aimed at the sustainable harvest of resources, and to the understanding and conservation of other marine and diadromous species. The goal for this project was to track White sturgeon in the Lower Fraser River to answer a variety of management-related questions.

title: 2015 SSE Renewables Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm pre-construction benthic grab survey

description: A pre-construction benthic characterisation survey was conducted by APEM Ltd at the proposed Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) and Annex 1 Habitat Survey of the Offshore Transmission Works (OfTW) cable corridor (APEM ref 413984, client ref ED518) between the 22nd and the 27th June 2015. 
The aim of the survey was to collect grab samples that will provide baseline data on the benthic ecology and sediment composition within the OWF area. Additionally the survey was to utilise Drop Down Video (DDV) to determine the presence of potential cobble reef Annex 1 habitats (EC Habitats Directive) the OfTW cable export corridor and investigate sites of potential archaeological importance within both the OWF area and export route.
Twelve grab stations were selected to provide representative coverage of the SS.SCS.ICS.MoeVen (Moerella spp. with venerid bivalves in infralittoral gravelly sand) biotope that was identified as being of high importance in the Beatrice OWF Environmental Statement and Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and is representative of the Tide-swept coarse sands with burrowing bivalves Priority Marine Feature. Ten of the stations were located within the OWF boundary, with two reference stations located to the north east of the OWF. All stations corresponded to locations that were sampled during the EIA baseline characterisation study undertaken in 2010 (CMACS, 2011). At each of the twelve locations three replicate samples were acquired using a 0.1m2 Hamon grab. Each replicate was then sub-sampled for both macrofauna and Particle Size Analysis (PSA).
