Museums Victoria Ichthyology Collection

Keywords: Specimen, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1842/2015

The Ichthyology Collection is one of the oldest and most significant fish collections in Australia, representing 150 years of acquisition from a wide variety of sources and comprising some 36,000 lots and 350,000 specimens.
It includes fishes (sharks, rays, chimaeroids, jawless and bony fishes) as well as representatives of the lancelets (primitive chordates belonging to the subphylum Cephalochordata). The collection also contains the world’s most comprehensive representation of fishes from marine, estuarine and freshwater environments of south-eastern and southern Australian waters, as well as a broad spectrum of the world’s fish fauna.
The majority of the collection is comprised of specimens in 70% alcohol, with subcollections of ethanol-fixed and frozen tissues, a larval fish collection, a dry and skeletal collection, an X-ray and photographic collection.
The collection is used for research and exhibition purposes, with the research component having increased significantly with the growth of the tissue collection.

Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) - Surveys of Octocoral communities, benthic cover and environmental factors on coral reefs of Hong Kong. (1999)

Keywords: Specimen, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1999/1999

All surveys were carried out by the principal researcher using Rapid Ecological Assessment. The dataset comprises 41 surveys from 21 reef locations, recording 42 species in 23 genera (dominated by azooxanthellate taxa).

On each reef, 1-3 sites were surveyed with up to 5 transects (usually 200-300m long, 1-3m wide for 10-15 minutes) per site at pre-defined depths (1-3m, 3-8m, 8-13m, 13-18m and reef flat).

Taxa recorded: octocorals (soft corals, gorgonians, sea fans, sea whips, sea pens, leather corals, arborescent octocorals, blue coral, stoloniferans), black and wire coral. Note that species are mostly at generic level.
Taxa have been matched to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). This dataset was sourced on July 2018 from the original DiGIR dataset at OBIS and updated to reflect changes in the OBIS data requirements.
Global Distribution and Diversity of Solenidae Species

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence, Museum collections, Literature
Temporal coverage: null/null

This dataset was compiled after a careful data-collection and cleaning procedure over four years for Hanieh Saeedi PhD project. Data were collected using field sampling, literature and museum collections. Then all the records went through quality control procedures such as validating the taxonomy of the species by examining and re-identifying the specimens in museum collections and using taxonomic and geographic data quality control tools in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and the robis package (Provoost and Bosch 2017). This dataset can thus be further used for taxonomical and biogeographical studies of Solenidae

Abstract:
This 1993 line-transect survey was designed to make abundance estimates of the northern stock of common dolphin, <i>Delphinus delphis</i>, in the eastern Pacific. This stock of dolphin is taken in the tropical tuna fishery. The index of relative abundance for this stock, computed from sightings on tuna vessels, has declined substantially in the last decade.  However, because tuna vessels cover only the southern portion of the stock's range, the declines in the index may be due to a northward shift in distribution, rather than an actual decline in abundance. The 1993 survey was designed to produce the first range-wide estimates of abundance for the northern common dolphin and its recently described congener, <i>Delphinus capensis</i>. This survey was conducted by the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center aboard NOAA Ships <i>McArthur</i> and <i>David Starr Jordan</i> for a combined total of approximately 32,000 kilometers surveyed from late July to early November 1993. This dataset provides the time-date and geographical coordinates, by 
species/stock, of all cetaceans detected during the survey, as well as the daily and intra-daily start and end points of the line-transect survey by the NOAA Ship <i>David Starr Jordan</i>.

Purpose:
The primary objective of the cruise was to survey the area inhabited by the northern stock of common dolphins, and to make an estimate of its absolute abundance in order to assess the impact of the dolphins killed by the United States and international yellowfin tuna purse seine fleet in the eastern tropical Pacific.

Annual wrack biomass of the northern Portugal sandy beaches

Keywords: Samplingevent, Portugal, Seagrass, Biometrics
Temporal coverage: 2019/2020

Wrack accumulations are a source of nutrients on sandy beaches and host invertebrate species, increasing local biodiversity. The distribution of these important accumulations varies in space and time depending on the environmental conditions of the area and the biological factors of the species that compose it. Consequently, this spatio-temporal variability in the wrack accumulations remains poorly understood in some regions. This database compiles the monthly variability in dry weight biomass of six seaweed taxa(Saccorhiza polyschides, Fucus spp., Ascophyllum nodosum, Cystoseira spp., Ulva spp. and Sargassum muticum) which forming the wrack of four sandy beaches in the northern Portugal (Âncora, Cabedelo, Paramos and São Pedro de Maceda)through a year.
TPWD HARC Texas Coastal Fisheries Sabine Lake Gill Net

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1986/2008

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) utilizes several sampling gears for fisheries-independent monitoring of finfish and shellfish communities. They include bag seines, trawls, gill nets and oyster dredges. TPWD uses multiple gears in a random sampling protocol, and they identify (to the lowest taxonomic unit possible) and count everything that they collect. This dataset contains gill net data collected for the Sabine Lake bay system in Texas from 1986 to 2008. Collected data also included spatial and temporal information describing the sample location and time, collection gear information, hydrological data (e.g. dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and salinity), weather conditions, species caught, and number of each species captured. Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) calculated the relative abundance data, calculated as the catch of a particular species in a sample divided by the total number of animals captured in that sample. Absence data was recorded for species on the TPWD species sampling lists that were not captured during sampling.

NA14NOS4190141 Jan 2014 - March 2016

Aerial surveys were conducted under NOAA Scientific Permits No. 948-1692-00 and 16473, held by UNCW.

Purpose:
On November 1, 2013, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced Dominion Virginia Power was the provisional winner of the commercial lease area offshore of Virginia (VA WEA). Development of off shore wind energy poses potential threats to marine mammals, including direct effects (i.e.vessel interactions, collision and entanglement with structures, displacement, avoidance, or injury due to noise from construction or operations) and indirect threats (i.e. effects on prey species, increased risk of fishery and vessel interaction through displacement out of the WEA) (BOEM 2012). This information is important to mitigate the potentially harmful impacts from ocean development, shipping, and other anthropogenic activities. To address these existing data gaps, we have collected marine mammal and sea turtle sighting data from aerial surveys conducted off the coast of Virginia from November 2012 to December 2016.

Supplemental information:
The sightings are split into the left and right sides. The sightings from the right side are available in http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/1375

Opportunistic sightings (eventcode=10.0) are not included.

Temporal coverage: 1992/1992

Original provider:
National Marine Mammal Laboratory

Dataset credits:
National Marine Mammal Laboratory

Abstract:
From 9 July to 22 August, 1992, a part of a larger study, the Alaskan Peninsula was surveyed for killer whales (<i>Orcinus orca</i>) from the NOAA Brielyn Marie using line transect methodology. To provide adequate coverage throughout the area, the study was limited to areas of known killer whale concentrations. The vessel was 36.5 m (113 ft) long and had a bridge height of 6.0 m (18.5 feet).

Purpose:
The objectives of this study were as follows: 
1) Develop a photographic identification catalog of each killer whale encountered, and its pod, to determine pod identity, distribution, and movements relative to annual survey effort,
2) Obtain minimum population estimated of killer whales in the central/eastern Aleutians and the south side of the Alaskan peninsula, and
3) Establish baseline data for detecting annual changes in abundance
