Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory Ichthyology Collection - Marine records

Keywords: Occurrence, Specimen
Temporal coverage: 1937/2014

The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) Ichthyology Collection was established in 1981. It contains over 38,000 databased lots and about 250,000 specimens including 90 holotypes and 500 paratype lots. The collection was founded by a significant donation from NT Fisheries, and has subsequently continued to grow through MAGNT field collecting activities, voucher collections lodged by external researchers (e.g. the Arid Zone and JETINDOFISH collections), museum exchanges and public donations.
The collection's emphasis is on the marine, estuarine and freshwater fishes of Northern and Central Australia, Southeast Asia and the Indo-West Pacific. One of the collections strengths is the large and diverse holdings of tropical gobies.

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

Keywords: Imaging, Samplingevent, EcoTaxa, ZooSCAN
Temporal coverage: 2009/2013

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

The Belgian Marine Mammals Database (BMM)

Keywords: Belgium coast, Belgian part of the North Sea, Occurrence, Sea mammals, Strandings, Observation
Temporal coverage: 1945/2019

The marine mammals website (www.marinemammals.be) in its current form is the result of a long-standing collaboration between RBINS and the University of Liège and provides access to data from 50 years of marine mammal observations in Belgium. The database that backs it consists of two parts, i.e. observations and information on necropsied tissues and subsequent diagnoses on the cause of the death of the animal. The database records all stranding events in Belgium from recent years. The dataset provides the occurrences and associated data like putative circumstances and putative cause of death.
DFO Newfoundland and Labrador Region Ecosystem Trawl Surveys

Keywords: biological classification, Occurrence, biota, Observation, oceans
Temporal coverage: 1971/2011

An OBIS version of the Fisheries and Oceans Canada Newfoundland and Labrador region (DFO-NL) ecosystem trawl survey data from 1977-2011. Survey data are collected by DFO stock assessment staff during stratified random seasonal (spring and fall) bottom trawl surveys.  These surveys were initially designed to estimate abundance and distribution of commercial groundfish species, but since 1995 have also been regularly recording non-commercial species and invertebrates. The area surveyed has varied over time, as has the trawl gear used and the fishing methodology (tow duration) employed. Note in some years the ‘fall’ survey (usually Oct-Dec), continued January of the following calendar year.

This dataset is the OBIS version of the 'bottom trawl' dataset and only species presence information is included at this time for standard sets.

Taxonomic limitations 
Due to the emphasis on commercial fish species, taxonomic classifications of non-commercial fish and invertebrates prior to 1995 were frequently limited to genus or family and sometimes order.  With the introduction of the Campelen trawl came a major change in the taxonomic detail recorded and by 2008 efforts were made to identify all fish to species, when possible. However although improved, identifications of some invertebrate taxa continue to be recorded at higher taxonomic levels.   Consequently  the absence of records for a particular species cannot be equated with an absence of the species, particularly when higher taxonomic classifications are present.

BIOGEOMAR | Dataset | Mollusca | Bivalvia

The BioGeoMar Program was created in 2019 with the support of the Boticário Group Foundation for Nature Protection in order to analyze the state of knowledge of marine biodiversity in Brazil, describe how biodiversity is distributed along the coast, and point out priority areas for conservation and carry out future studies. The program gathered 18 researchers, 9 postgrads, and 6 research assistants, from different expertise representing 12 public universities in Brazil, working in a collaborative network. Global platforms are being used that obtain information on the geographic distribution of the species and unprecedented data for science from the zoological and botanical collections of the researchers' laboratories are being accessed. All the data will be publicly available in national and international digital repositories. BioGeoMar is also promoting continuous training and contributing to the UN Ocean Decade.

Intertidal and shallow-water ostracoda of the Waitemata Harbour, New Zealand

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1994/1994

This dataset is from a paper which provides the first account of the ecological distribution of Ostracoda from a New Zealand harbour. Fifty-eight species are recorded in 23 subtidal (0–30 m) and intertidal sand and mud samples from the Waitemata Harbour, Auckland. Five associations are recognised using cluster analysis on the percentage abundance counts of total valves (live plus dead specimens). The main harbour channel from Hobsonville to Rangitoto, together with some of the subtidal flats in the outer part of the harbour, is dominated by Keijia demissa, with subdominant Munseyella aequa and M. brevis below the harbour bridge (association A) and Callistocythere neoplana and Quadracythere mediaruga above the bridge (association B). Shallow subtidal mud flats in the inner harbour (Herne Bay to Pollen Island) are dominated by Munseyella tumida and Microcytherura ?hornibrooki (association C). Intertidal mud fl ats and mangrove forest at Pollen Island and in the upper harbour have an ostracod fauna strongly dominated by Callistocythere neoplana (association D), in some places with associated Procythereis aff. lyttletonensis and Leptocythere lacustris (association E).
