title: UNESCO eDNA expedition in The Sundarbans (Bangladesh): February 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/).

description: Abstract:Broadnose sevengill sharks (Notorynchus cepedianus) are apex predators that have a global distribution in the shelf and coastal waters of temperate seas. A limited number of studies have assessed the demography and movement patterns of sevengills. Acoustic and satellite telemetry have also been used to provide more detailed insights into the behaviour, fine scale movements and habitat usage of sevengills in certain areas, including south-east Tasmania and the north-west Pacific. In both areas movement patterns ranged from seasonal aggregations in coastal areas such as bays and estuaries, to long distance (&gt;400 km) coastal migrations. However the drivers behind these patterns in movement are largely unclear, and may be related to reproductive behaviour, seasonal shifts in prey abundance and distribution, or environmental factors such as changing water temperatures. The primary aim of this research is to investigate the behaviour and movement patterns of broadnose sevengill sharks, both on a fine scale in False Bay, and more broadly along the South African coast. This knowledge will be used to improve our understanding of distribution, population connectivity, patterns of residency, site fidelity and migration for this species, with the overarching objective of improving management and conservation strategies to ensure the sustained presence of this important apex predator in the coastal ecosystems they inhabit.

title: DFO Pacific Outside North Hard Bottom Longline Surveys

description: The Outside North Hard Bottom Longline (HBLL) survey is one of a set of long-term and coordinated surveys that together cover most of the nearshore, hard-bottom habitat of coastal British Columbia. The other surveys are the Outside South HBLL survey, Inside North HBLL survey, and Inside South HBLL survey.
description: The Outside North HBLL survey was first conducted in 2006 and has been repeated every second year in alternate years to the Outside South HBLL survey, with the exception that no surveys were conducted in 2013. The survey was not impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of these surveys is to provide fishery-independent abundance indices and associated biological data for the assessment of nearshore rockfishes and other groundfish species that live on untrawlable, hard bottom habitats. The surveys follow a random depth-stratified design and the sampling units are 2 km by 2 km blocks. The Outside HBLL surveys use size 14/0 circle hooks, baited with frozen squid.
description: The Outside North HBLL Survey is conducted by DFO in collaboration with the Pacific Halibut Management Association (PHMA) and takes place on several chartered commercial fishing vessels each year. This survey covers the northern portion of the British Columbia coastline, including the mainland coast north of Milbanke Sound, Dixon Entrance, and the east and west coasts of Haida Gwaii. The PHMA provides the chartered commercial fishing vessels and field technicians, while DFO provides support for running the surveys, including survey design and equipment.
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.

title: Localisations GPS de fous de Bassan nichant sur l'Île-Bonaventure saison 2017
title: GPS locations of Northern Gannets nesting in Bonaventure island (2017) 

description: Depuis 2012, le Laboratoire d'ornithologie marine de Rimouski (https://ornithologiemarine.wixsite.com/lomr/david-pelletier) a mis en place un programme de suivi annuel du comportement alimentaire des fous de Bassan (Morus bassanus) nichant dans le parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé (plus spécifiquement sur l'île Bonaventure). Le LOMR est dirigé par Magella Guillemette (professeur à l'Université du Québec à Rimouski) en collaboration avec David Pelletier (professeur au Cégep de Rimouski). Plusieurs dizaines d'étudiant.e.s des niveaux collégial et universitaire (1er, 2e et 3e cycles) ont participé la collecte de ces données.

Les données présentes dans cette base de données sont celles de 2017, mais celles au delà de 2017 peuvent être demandées au LOMR en contactant les propriétaires des données. Les localisations ont été enregistrées à l'aide de consignateurs de données GPS, programmés à une fréquence de 5 ou 10 minutes (suivant les années) et fixés sur la queue des oiseaux avec du ruban adhésif blanc de grade marin de marque Tesa.
description: Since 2012, the Rimouski Marine Ornithology Laboratory (LOMR)(https://ornithologiemarine.wixsite.com/lomr/david-pelletier) has implemented an annual monitoring program for the feeding behaviour of gannets (Morus bassanus) nesting in Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock National Park (more specifically on Bonaventure Island). LOMR is directed by Magella Guillemette (professor at the Université du Québec à Rimouski) in collaboration with David Pelletier (professor at the Cégep de Rimouski). Several dozen college and university students (1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles) participated in the collection of this data.

The data present in this database are those of 2017, but the more recent ones can be requested from the LOMR by contacting the owners of the data. Locations were recorded using GPS data loggers, programmed at a frequency of 5 or 10 minutes (depending on the year) and attached to the birds' tails with white Tesa marine grade tape.
description: Les déplacements du fou de Bassan ont été enregistrés à l’aide de moniteurs GPS
iGotU GT-120 de 20 g (dimension de 44,5 x 28,5 x 13 mm). Les appareils étaient
préalablement emballés sous vide et recouverts de ruban Tesa blanc no 4650. Pour
minimiser la résistance pendant le vol et éviter que les appareils soit déplacés lors les
plongeons, ils ont été attachés au-dessus des quatre rectrices les plus centrales, prêt de la
base de la queue des oiseaux. Ils pèsaient en moyenne 32,2 ± 0,1 g une fois emballés, soit
1,08% (± 0.01) de la masse corporelle du fou de Bassan, ce qui ne devait donc pas affecter
ses mouvements (Lewis et al., 2002; Fair et al., 2010). Les moniteurs ont enregistré une
localisation à un intervalle de 10 min, pendant deux à trois semaines. Ils ont ensuite été
récupérés par recapture. Ces enregistrements ont permis de mesurer la durée et la distance
totales des déplacements alimentaires des fous de Bassan.

title: Zooplankton and Ichthyoplankton of the North Western Portuguese Coast in May 2002

description: The objective of this data collection was to analise the daily vertical migration of decapod larvae in the water column in the northwestern portuguese coast and to assess its correlations with environmental parameteres. In order to do this plankton samples were collected with Bongo nets, LHPR multisampler and Neuston net in a area between the north western Portuguese coast and the 10 °W and between the 40° and 42°N and, aditionally at a fixed location during a 67 hours period, every two hours. In the fixed sampling point a plankton trap was also deployed. The data set presented corresponds to the zooplankton analysed in all the samples taken. This work is part of the ProRecruit project, which aimed to describe the spatial and temporal variability of the recruitment of coastal invertebrate species that show a planktonic larvar phase in their lifecylce, and understand the impact of environmental variables which may control its supply to the coastal systems.
description: From the analysis of the results, it has been concluded that decapode larvae perform vertical daily migrations from the layers near the bottom to the neuston layer, being present in the superfical layers from 10PM to 02AM and that this behaviour enhances their retention in the area together with the upwelling season. On the other hand, the cypris larval phase of Cirripedia, was shown to perform vertical migrations and that have occurred in more abundance between 20m and 35m of depth.

title: Deep­ Sea fishes (Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes) in the Southwestern Colombian Caribbean

description: Interest in the deep seas has increased dramatically in the last decade, due to the potential presence of natural resources. Although Colombia holds a large submerged territory, knowledge of the seabed and its biodiversity beyond a depth of 1000 meters is very limited. During 2015-2017, Anadarko Colombia Company (ACC) carried out hydrocarbon exploratory activities in the Southern Colombian Caribbean, at depths between 375 m and 2500 m. As an opportunistic result from these activities, several organisms from different phyla were spotted in ROV and towed camera surveys. We analysed a total of 9h 9min 26sec of video and 5066 photographs, looking for benthic and pelagic megafauna. The images were separated by Phylum and Class, and the fishes were identied to the lowest possible taxonomic level. The data presented here corresponds to 250 occurrences of deep-sea fishes and 190 were identified from order to species. This is the first of a series of datasets reporting visual confirmations on the occurrences of deepsea organisms in the Colombian Caribbean.
