Metadata: Fladen Grounds Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) Survey Infauna Data - 2014
Abstract:
80 grab samples were collected at Fladen Grounnds Marine Conservation Zone between the 13th March and 31st March 2014 The data were collected for the Marine Conversation Zones Project funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
Data holder:
Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS)

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 11122 |
| 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. | Fladen Grounds Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) Survey Infauna Data - 2014 |
| 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. | CEFASf85b0da5-2ee4-4a51-b07a-0cf34aa58d02 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS19540 |
| 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 | 2014-03-13 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-03-31 |
| 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 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | All 80 stations were successfully sampled during the BACI survey 75 samples from the Day grab 5 Samples from the Mini Hammon Grab The primary sediment sampling gear was a 0.1 m2 Day grab, ideally suited for the muddy and sandy sediments expected in the area. For the BACI study, a mini Hamon grab fitted with a video camera and lighting was available to collect sediment samples for infauna community analysis when the Day grab was unsuccessful. A Shipek grab was also available to collect sediment samples in conjunction with the mini Hamon or Day grab. For the fishing pressure gradient study, the 0.1 m2 Day grab was the only gear deployed to collect sediment samples. All grab systems were deployed from the side gantry. Samples were collected from within a 50m radius ‘bull ring’ around the target sampling location. On recovery of the grab, a photograph of the sample was taken (in situ for the Day and Shipek grabs and following transfer to a large container for the mini Hamon grab). The sampling depth (Day and Shipek grab) or volume (mini Hamon grab) was estimated before a sediment subsample was collected for particle size distribution analysis (PSA) using either a 3cm diameter core (Day and Shipek grab) or a 125ml scoop (mini Hamon grab). Sediment sub samples for PSA were placed in labelled containers and frozen immediately. The remaining sample was decanted into a plastic box and transferred to the sample processing area on board the vessel if an infaunal sample was required. Benthic fauna were collected by washing the sample with sea-water over a 5mm and 1mm sieve. The retained >1mm fraction was transferred to a labelled container and preserved in 4% buffered formaldehyde for later analysis ashore. A visual assessment was made of the sediment type sampled by the grab and noted on the field records, assigning the sample to a Broad Scale Habitat (BSH) as per the MCZ Project Ecological Network Guidance document (Ashworth et al 2010). |
