Metadata: 1984-1986 T.G. Skinner Solway Firth Occurrence of some prominent zooplankton
Abstract:
Five surveys were carried out by T.G. Skinner in the Solway Firth Areas. Surveys were carried out with plankton nets and a count of the species captured was carried out. This survey is the third survey and is documented in the following three papers: The Seasonal Occurence of Some Prominent Zooplankton Species in Rough Firth between March 1984 to March 1986. I. Scyphomedusae (Glasg. Nat. 22 Part 5: 471-484 (1995)), The Seasonal Occurence of Some Prominent Zooplankton Species in Rough Firth. II. Chaetognatha (Glasg. Nat. 22 Part 5: 479-484 (1995)), and The Seaonal Occurence of Some Prominent Species in Rough Firth. III. Decapod Larvae. (Glasg. Nat. 23. Part 1: 51-56 (1996)).

| 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. | 1984-1986 T.G. Skinner Solway Firth Occurrence of some prominent zooplankton |
| 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. | c2b7ed0e30dcfe92635bc5f05bb650b0 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | DASSHDT00000313 |
| 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 | 1984-03-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1986-11-30 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| 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. | Weekly samples were taken over a two year period from March 1984 to March 1986 using a 0.5mm diameter plankton net to mesh size 287 micron which was towed behind a dinghy in the same sample area as described in a previous report (Skinner, 1984: from the Rockcliffe shore to Rough Island and back). On each occasion two samples were taken at around high water, one sample being preserved immediately, the other taken home for examination live. Any ephyrae present in the latter were picked out, anaesthetised in an isotonic 7.5% solution of magnesium chloride, then fixed and preserved in 4-5% formalin. All tows were horizontal, just below the surface. The total towing time on each occasion was about 23 min, and the total distance towed just under 1km. Identifications were made with aid of Russell (1970). Normenclature is that of the Marine Biological Assocation (1957). |
