Metadata: Historic Herring data 1905-1990
Abstract:
This record relates to a substantial amount of hard copy herring data which is stored off site in the fisheries data archive. This archive contains hundreds of files, ledgers, log books, box files and large boxes containing data on: •Biological data, including the age, length, weight, maturity and vertebrae counts of individual herring •Scale projection data, containing information on the length-at-age of the fish, derived from the growth layers on herring scales; •Herring survey data, collected onboard research or commercial vessels during surveys specifically aimed to study herring; •Market sampling data, collected by scientists at the fishing ports where herring were traditionally landed, such as Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth and South and North Shields •Associated environmental data collected during the herring surveys, including daily weather and wind observations •Spatial information, including distribution of herring catches during different years.
Data holder:
Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS)
| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 10216 |
| 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. | Historic Herring data 1905-1990 |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Herring Data Archive 1905-1990 |
| 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. | CEFAS8f5bcef4-9ec2-40b5-addb-18674b2cc48d |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS19009 |
| 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 | 1905-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1990-01-01 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
