title: Spatial distribution in sediment characteristics and benthic activity on the northwestern Black Sea shelf: macrobenthos

description: This dataset is the outcome of research done on the benthic system of the Black Sea Shelf. Data on macrobenthos (density and biomass), oxygen flux to the sediment and sediment characteristics are presented.
description: This dataset is the outcome of research done on the benthic system of the Black Sea Shelf. From 5 to 27 August 1995, 33 stations were sampled on the northwest continental shelf. Sediment was sampled with a Reineck boxcorer (60 x 30 x 30 cm). In order to detect spatial variations in their distribution, both the biotic (macrofauna) and abiotic (grain size, porosity, ..) component of the sediment was studied. The oxygen flux to the sediment has been measured as an estimation of the rate of benthic mineralization, and the contribution of macrobenthos in total sediment respiration has been calculated. The present dataset contains data on macrobenthic biomass and density and several sediment characteristics. Also, environmental characteristics of the sampling locations can be found.

title: 1988-2011 Stebbing et al. British records of American lobsters, Homarus americanus

description: American lobsters (Homarus americanus) are native to the east coast of North American and Canada, but have been imported live into Europe for several decades resulting in their escape into the wild. American lobsters have the potential to have a significant impact on the European lobster (Homarus gammarus) fisheries in Europe, but the status of American lobsters is not well understood, especially in Great Britain (GB) where reports have been sporadic. Reports were collated from across GB of American lobsters being caught in coastal waters. Between 1988 and 2011, 26 individuals have been positively identified using standard taxonomic techniques. American lobsters were found predominantly in waters off southern England, with no confirmed reports from Wales and a single report from Scotland. However, there are anecdotal reports of American lobsters being found in much greater numbers from around GB. The potential threat that American lobsters pose to fisheries in GB and the rest of Europe is discussed along with recommendations to better estimate the numbers of animals being released.
description: Data taken from a very brief report of Homarus americanus distribution in British waters. Data collected almost entirely from one appendix, which gives only approximate locations for some sightings, e.g. The Wash, these locations determined from the map in report and co-ordinates assigned in gridreferencefinder.com

title: Report of deep-sea Crustaceans (Aristeidae, Epialtidae, Galatheidae, Geryonidae, Gyphocrangonidae, Munidopsidae, Nematocarcinidae, Paguridae, Parapaguridae, Scalpellidae) in the southern Colombian Caribbean.

description: Data on occurrence and distribution of deep-water organisms in Colombian territory are currently scarce. However, it is a research niche that is taking more and more prominence due to the potential of natural resources found in the deep. From 2015 to 2017 Anadarko Colombia Company (ACC) conducted hydrocarbon exploration in the southern Colombian Caribbean, assessing bottom biodiversity between 375 to 2500 meters deep. This exploratory expedition proved advantageous for the documentation of the fauna that inhabits deep-water ecosystems, using camera assessment techniques such as ROV surveys and towed cameras. The data presented here correspond to the crustaceans encountered by ACC, which were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible.
description: The data presented here corresponds to 204 occurrences of deep-sea Crustaceans. The taxonomic coverage of this dataset includes 2 class, 3 orders, 10 families, 7 genus and 1 species. There is a 2% classifed to the species level, 32% to family, 10% to order and 56% to genus.

title: Residence Time and Survival of Fraser River (Chilko) Chinook Salmon in the Strait of Georgia, 2016

description: This is the OBIS extraction of the Ocean Tracking Network and Kintama Research Services (KRS) Residence Time and Survival of Fraser River (Chilko) Chinook Salmon in the Strait of Georgia, 2016, 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=NEP.CCS).
description: Abstract:Marine survival of Fraser River Chinook salmon stocks has decreased to &lt;1% in recent years and lack of information on downstream and early marine survival hampers their effective management. We conducted a small acoustic telemetry pilot study on 100 Chilko River Chinook that were reared at Chehalis Hatchery B.C. and then transported and released into the Chilko River. The project goals were to estimate freshwater survival, investigate residence timing in the Strait of Georgia, and begin to investigate early marine survival. Because marine acoustic receiver arrays capable of detecting smolts implanted with small 180 kHz acoustic tags only monitor the northern exit from the Strait of Georgia, residence time and early marine survival could only be potentially estimated if smolts migrated north before tag batteries expired five months after ocean entry. Freshwater survival of acoustic-tagged Chinook to the Fraser River mouth (49%) was comparable to other populations or species which migrate the same distance downstream; however, their downstream migration rate 18 km/day) was dramatically slower than that of wild Chilko Lake sockeye, which migrate rapidly to the ocean after exit from Chilko Lake (100-170 km/day). It is unknown whether this behavioural difference is the result of their hatchery origin and transport to Chilko Lake. Only one fish was detected in the Strait of Georgia and none were detected exiting. Combined with the results from trawl surveys, the complete lack of detections in the Discovery Islands and Johnstone Strait suggest that Chilko Chinook do not migrate directly north after river exit. Instead, they likely remain in the Strait of Georgia for at least several months. It is unclear if smolts eventually exited the Strait via the southern route, died during their summer residence, or simply ceased migration to take up residence. An animation of the movements of the Chilko Lake Chinook smolts released in 2016 is available on our website (http://kintama.com/visualizations/).

title: Deep-sea Echinoderm report (Crinoidea, Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea) in the South 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. Data here includes different groups of Echinoderm reported (Crinoidea, Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea and Echinoidea) in southern Colombian Caribbean, at depths between 120 m and 2568 m. The images were separated by Class, and the Echinoderm were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level. The data presented here corresponds to 361 occurrences of deep-sea echinoderms, with a taxonomic coverage of 4 class, 11 orders, 17 families, 11 genus and 10 species.

title: DinoTintinideos

description: This volume of the REVIZEE Document Series, named "Dinoflagellates and Tintinnids of the central region of the Brazilian Economic Exclusive Zone: identification guide", was based on samples collected during the REVIZEE - Central IV oceanographic cruise that took place in the region between Salvador (BA) and Sao Tome Cape (RJ), including the oceanic islands of Trindade and Martim Vaz, from March through May 2000. Within the scope of the REVIZEE Program, we assessed some aspects of the plankton, those that related the abundance of populations to general oceanographic features, in order to add to the understanding of the dynamics of the overall availability of live resources. In this context, the detailed study of species composition was not part of the aims of the Program.

title: 2011_RIVIERPRIK - Acoustic telemetry data for river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) in the upper Scheldt river (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 what later became the Permanent Belgian Acoustic Receiver Network (https://lifewatch.be/en/fish-acoustic-receiver-network) for the project/study 2011_rivierprik, using VEMCO tags (V7, V8) and receivers (VR2, VR2W). In total 39 adult individuals of river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) were captured, tagged and released in 2011 and 2012, to study the effect of weirs and shipping locks on their upstream spawning migration in the tidal and/or non-tidal part of the Scheldt river and its tributaries.
description: The disruption of longitudinal and lateral connectivity of rivers has led to ecological catastrophes such as the extinction of several diadromous fish species. River lamprey is an important indicator species for the integrity of ecosystems and connectivity within and between catchment areas. In the highly fragmented Scheldt river basin first restoration actions are undertaken, such as the building of nature-like bypasses. The migration patterns in the river catchment and their behaviour at a tidal barrier, lock-weir complexes and fish bypasses (passage timing and delay) in the upper Scheldt river show that the disrupted water management of the river and in consequence of its barriers and bypasses are one keys to (un)successful spawning migration in the catchment, beside spawning habitat deterioration. 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: Biometric measurements of the seagrass Zostera noltii in the Mira channel of the Ria de Aveiro throughout the year 2020

description: Biometric measurements (shoot density, leaf width, leaves per shoot and leaf area) carried out in the Zostera noltei meadows along the Mira channel of the Ria de Aveiro lagoon throughout 2020.
description: Z. notei was collected in six areas distributed along the Mira channel of the Ria de Aveiro in nine visits over the course of a year. In each area, four corers were randomly collected along a transect of 5 meters. At the laboratory, corers were cleaned from sediments to measure seagrass biometrics. To determine the vegetative shoot density the vertical shoots of each corer were counted. Four vertical vegetative shoots with apparently healthy leaves and roots were randomly chosen in each corer to measure leaves per shoot, leaf width and leaf surface area. The average value of those four shoots was assigned for each corer. Leaves per shoot was calculated by counting the number of leaves in each shoot. Leaf width was measured with a millimeter caliper. The leaf surface area was calculated by dividing the total leaf area per shoot (leaf length x leaf width) by the number of leaves per shoot. • Shoot density / shoot per square metre / Counting number of shoots in a surface area (n=4) • Leaf width / centimetre / Measuring with a tape measure (n=4) • Leaf area / Area surface / Multiplying the leaf width by the sum of the leaf length per vertical shoot and dividing it by the total number of leaves per shoot (n=4) • Leaves per shoot / Number of leaves per shoot / Counting the number leaves per shoot (n=4)

title: Occurrence of Eukaryotes in the size fraction &gt;300 micrometres, collected worldwide during the Tara Oceans expedition (2009-2013) using a Bongo net and analysed on a ZooScan imaging platform

description: Tara expeditions sampled the world’s oceans with standardized protocols, putting an exceptional effort into sampling plankton diversity across a large size range, using a combination of water samples and net tows. The efforts to explore the genomic diversity of plankton, through metabarcoding and metagenomics, have led to well publicized papers and have made the renown of Tara. While a similar extensive effort has been put on imaging, the datasets are not public yet. In a limited number of stations, in addition to the usual 5μm -&gt; ~5cm Tara sampling strategy, Bongo net samples were taken during the day and during the night, at the same station; this is the content of this dataset. Using a 300µm mesh net, it cover organisms from 300µm to ~3cm
description: Bongo net (300μm mesh) hauled vertically from 500m depth to the surface, once during the day, and once during the night.
