Metadata: River Tyne to Druridge Bay Mixed Crab and Lobster Survey 2007/08 - Fisheries Science Partnership
Abstract:
The fishing vessel Wendy Patricia was chartered between August and October 2007 to carry out a potting survey and an acoustic survey in the mixed crab and lobster fishery in an area off the northeast coast from the river Tyne to Druridge Bay. The main objective was to investigate the population structure of edible crabs in relation to the characteristics of the seabed. Fishing positions were spread throughout the survey area but most stations were in Whitley Bay and north of Newbiggin, corresponding to the pre-survey positions of the gear. Sidescan sonar and underwater video were used during the acoustic survey to map ground types in proximity to the fishing positions. The fishing survey took place in late August and early September and the acoustic survey was carried out in October.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 9234 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | River Tyne to Druridge Bay Mixed Crab and Lobster Survey 2007/08 - Fisheries Science Partnership |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | FSP North East Crab |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | CEFAS1ecd17d4-c9cb-46f6-9082-63a74f6fd726 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS541 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-08-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-10-31 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Catches of brown crab (Cancer pagurus) were generally larger farther offshore on ground that included areas of sand, while catches from the inshore areas were dominated by lobsters (Homarus gammarus) and velvet crabs ( Necora puber). Hard and rocky reefs often characterised the seabed in the inshore areas. Although moderate catches of lobsters were also taken at offshore sites adjacent to wrecks, velvet crab catches were restricted to the hard or rough inshore areas. Low numbers of Nephrops (Nephrops norvegicus) were taken at only five of the offshore sites. |
