title: Norfish: Norway West Coast Herring Fishery 1520-1850

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.

description: Norway has seen herring as an essential part of the its cultural heritage and is recorded as far back as the 11th century in Snorri Sturluson’s Kings’. The sea teemed with herring in this century according to Sturluson and played an important role in the growth of Norway. This dataset combines sources that provide export data for the Norwegian port of Bergen. These data are available in two tranches and typically provide values in barrels of salted herring that were transported from Bergen.

title: Global Marine biodiversity data from Seawatchers Marine Citizen Science Platform 1980-2020

description: Observadores del Mar is a marine citizen science platform launched in 2012 devoted to enhancing the understanding of the conservation status of marine ecosystems. The platform hosts 13 projects covering 8 main taxa: corals, jellyfishes, decapod crustaceans, fishes, seaweeds, seagrasses, seabirds and molluscs, in addition to two projects focused on marine litter and reporting information on two main topics: i) biodiversity data focusing mainly on species distribution and abundance, and ii) the impacts of anthropogenic activities (e.g. jellyfish blooms) and associated mid- to long-term changes (e.g. colonization of invasive species). Almost 5500 observations validated by scientists have been already collected resulting in more than 20 scientific papers and communications. The major findings have been new records of introduced and invasive species, tracking the spread of novel pen shell mortality outbreak in the Mediterranean Sea and monitoring microplastic concentration on beaches.

title: Ecological insight of seasonal plankton succession to monitor shellfish aquaculture ecosystem interactions

description: Bivalve aquaculture has direct and indirect effects on plankton communities, which are highly sensitive to short-term (seasonal, interannual) and long-term climate changes, although how these dynamics alter aquaculture ecosystem interactions is poorly understood. Here, we investigate seasonal patterns in plankton abundance and community structure spanning several size fractions from 0.2 µm up to 5 mm, in a deep aquaculture embayment in northeast Newfoundland, Canada. Using flow cytometry and FlowCam imaging, we observed a clear seasonal relationship between fraction sizes driven by water column stratification (freshwater input, nutrient availability, light availability, water temperature). Plankton abundance decreased proportionally with increasing size fraction, aligning with size spectra theory. Within the bay, greater mesozooplankton abundance, and a greater relative abundance of copepods, was observed closest to the aquaculture lease. No significant spatial effect was observed for phytoplankton composition. While the months of August to October showed statistically similar plankton composition and size spectra slopes (i.e., food chain efficiency) and could be used for interannual variability comparisons of plankton composition, sampling for longer periods could capture long-term phenological shifts in plankton abundance and composition related to various processes, including climate change. Conclusions provide guidance on optimal sampling to monitor and assess aquaculture pathways of effects.

title: UNESCO eDNA expedition in Pen?nsula Vald?s (Argentina): July 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: Marine RAP 38 Bra

description: The Marine RAP survey team assessed 45 sites over an 18-day period (11-28 February 2000), including 19 expert specialists from Brazilian universities, NGOs and the Brazilian Government. At each site, an underwater inventory was made of six faunal groups selected to serve as indicators of overall biodiversity. The faunel groups included corals, fishes, algae, polychaete worms, molluscs, and crustaceans (the last three groups were analyzed only on bottom-sediment samples). In addition to the species inventory, bottom-sediment samples were taken in the immediate vicinity of the reefs. Observations and data on reef fisheries were also gathered by a fisheries scientist who evaluated the abundance and size of the main target species at each site. Additionally, the knowledge about species occurrences from other papers, were compiled by specialists producing a more complete list of species for the region.

description: The Icelandic Fisheries were highly productive and drew attention from both domestic and various foreign markets. While the gear deployed and the methods used for fishing did not vary significantly during the early modern period, there were several influences on the industry that impacted either negatively or positively. For instance, human intervention in the standard fishing practices, such as acts of war, market pressures, etc. led to variability in the total catches that were made on an annual basis. Natural influences were an issue as well; fish migration and stock levels, weather/climate conditions, etc. played their part in the types of inconsistencies that pervaded the era.

title: Puget Sound Zooplankton Monitoring Program (Salish Sea, USA), starting in 2014

description: The Puget Sound Zooplankton Monitoring Program (PSZMP) is an ongoing collaborative effort involving tribal, county, state, federal, academic, and non-profit organizations working in and around the Salish Sea. The program began in 2014 and is designed to assist efforts in 1) understanding how changes in the local vs oceanic physical environment translate up the food web in Puget Sound, and 2) measuring how the prey field of salmon and other fishes varies spatio-temporally and correlates with fish survival. Samples are collected at 16 sites across Puget Sound on either a bi-weekly or monthly , depending on the sampling group and season. Vertical tows of a ring net are conducted to capture zooplankton throughout the depth of the water column. Oblique tows of a bongo net are used to sample larger, more motile zooplankton inhabiting the upper 30 m of the water column. After collection, zooplankton are quantitatively subsampled and microscopically counted, with zooplankton densities and biomass computed. All individuals are identified to species or larger taxonomic grouping, and by life stages for some species, within each sample.

title: Abundance and biomass of benthic infauna as part of the North Channel habitat mapping project, 2017

description: This dataset contains information on infaunal abundance and biomass from sediment grabs in North Channel as part of a larger, more comprehensive habitat mapping project. This survey was carried out over two days in 2017 by the Agri-Food & Biosciences Institute (AFBI) on the RV Corystes. A 0.1m2 Day Grab was used to collect the sediment samples. Particle size analysis (PSA) and Carbon & Nitrogen analysis were carried out. The infaunal samples were sent away to accredited taxonomic laboratories to be identified and weighed. There were many commercially and biologically important species found in the samples for example Modiolus modiolus (Northern Ireland priority species) and a few non-native species such as Goniadella gracilis. There were also a few records of species that are not formally recorded in the UK e.g. Syllis licheri. The most abundant species recorded was the polychaete Sabellaria spinulosa. The polychaete species Syllis armillaris was present in all 12 samples taken.

title: DFO Pacific Groundfish Synoptic Trawl Surveys - West Coast Haida Gwaii

description: The West Coast Haida Gwaii (WCHG) synoptic bottom trawl survey was first conducted annually from 2006 to 2008 and has since been repeated every second year on even numbered years. The survey was not impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This survey is one of a set of long-term and coordinated surveys that together cover the continental shelf and upper slope of most of the British Columbia coast. The other surveys are the Queen Charlotte Sound (QCS) survey, the Hecate Strait (HS) survey, the West Coast Vancouver Island (WCVI) survey, and the Strait of Georgia (SOG) survey. The objectives of these surveys are to provide fishery independent abundance indices of all demersal fish species available to bottom trawling and to collect biological samples of selected species. The survey follows a random depth-stratified design and the sampling units are 2 km by 2 km blocks.
description: The synoptic bottom trawl surveys are conducted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) in collaboration with the Canadian Groundfish Research and Conservation Society (CGRCS), a non-profit society composed of participants in the British Columbia commercial groundfish trawl fishery. The Queen Charlotte Sound and West Coast Haida Gwaii surveys are conducted under collaborative agreements, with the CGRCS providing chartered commercial fishing vessels and field technicians, while DFO provides in-kind contributions for running the surveys including personnel and equipment. The Hecate Strait, West Coast Vancouver Island, and Strait of Georgia surveys are conducted by DFO and have typically taken place on the Canadian Coast Guard research vessel W.E. Ricker. In years when the W.E. Ricker has not been available, the Hecate Strait and West Coast Vancouver Island surveys have taken place on chartered industry vessels.
description: The data provided include information about the annual survey trips and fishing events (tows/sets) that are part of this survey series, including the vessel name, dates, times, spatial coverage, gear details, and effort information. Catch information (total weight in kg or counts of individual specimens) is included from successful fishing events. Catches are identified to species or to the lowest taxonomic level possible. Most catches are weighed, but some are too small (“trace” amounts) or too large (e.g. very large Big Skate). Some catches were subsampled and biological data were collected from individual fish specimens, including length, sex, and weight information. Where age structures were collected and processed, fish ages have been included. Relative abundance indices are provided for species that have been captured in every survey of the time series; however, we do not calculate a biomass index for the 2014 West Coast Haida Gwaii survey, as this survey was incomplete due to operational problems. The coefficient of variation and bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals are provided for each index. The groundfish data synopsis report (Anderson et al. 2019) provides an explanation of how the relative biomass indices are derived.

title: Registros de Erizo Blanco (Tripneustes ventricosus) en la bahía de Taganga y el Rodadero, Santa Marta, Colombia

description: El erizo blanco Tripneustes ventricosus (Lamarck, 1816), es la especie de erizo regular más grande del Caribe (diámetro de testa de hasta 130 mm). Se distribuye entre los trópicos en el Mar Atlántico a lo largo de la costa occidental de África y la oriental de América (Lewis 1958, McPherson 1965, Lovatelli y Sarkis, 2011). Habita en fondos con pastos marinos, macroalgas, arena con escombros, arrecifes de coral y rocas (McPherson 1965; Lawrence y Agatsuma, 2007; Alvarado y Solís-Marín, 2013) entre los 6 y 25 m de profundidad (Smith y Berkes, 1991). Se alimenta de algas y fanerógamas tanto de día como de noche, presentando mayor movilidad en horas de la noche, aparentemente como estrategia de evasión de depredadores nocturnos (Tertschnig, 1989). Por ser herbívora, se considera que mitiga la proliferación de algas epibiontes que se producen a medida que aumenta la carga de nutrientes originada por la contaminación antropogénica (Woodley et al., 1999; Creswell, 2011).
description: Tripneustes ventricosus tiene características que la hacen tener potencial para ser producida por acuicultura en el Caribe entre las que es posible nombrar su gran tamaño (130 cm de diámetro), rápido crecimiento (80 a 90 mm de diámetro durante el primer año), madurez precoz (a los 40 mm de diámetro; McPherson, 1965; Lawrence y Balzhin, 1998), ciclo reproductivo continuo (Lewis, 1958) y fertilización externa (Pena et al., 2008). Aunque se ha logrado producir larvas y post-larvas de esta especie (Wolcott y Messing, 2005; Rosas et al., 2009), todavía no se logra controlar todo el proceso.
description: Este recurso contiene la información de 330 registros biológicos de Erizo blanco (Tripneustes ventricosus) que fueron colectados en la bahía Taganga y el Rodadero, en Santa Marta durante los años 2019, 2022 y 2023. Estos fueron llevados vivos al laboratorio de la Universidad del Magdalena para hacer un proyecto de cría.
