Demersal fish abundance is recorded, fish are recorded by number of individuals or total biomass of common species i.e. whiting. From 1965 1972 flatfish and Gadoids (cod, whiting, etc) were not separated into individual species on occasions when there were more than 2 species present in the haul. There was also a tendency to use the words few or lots when describing the quantity of whiting or hake in a particular haul, this is again towards the end of the survey period ~ 1971/1972 David Sims Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) Citadel Hill Plymouth PL1 2PB dassh.enquires@mba.ac.uk originator Data Archive for Seabed Species and Habitats (DASSH) Data Manager 01752 633102 01752 633291 Marine Biological Association of the UK, The Laboratory, Citadel Hill Plymouth PL1 2PB dassh.enquiries@mba.ac.uk custodian irregular Database Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Species distribution GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-01-06 revision Macroalgae generic abundance in water bodies Zoobenthos generic abundance Zoobenthos taxonomic abundance Zoobenthos SeaDataNet P021 parameter discovery vocabulary 2009-11-16 revision Habitats and biotopes INSPIRE THEMES 2011-02-16 creation Apply to Deputy Director of the Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA), Dr David Sims for use otherRestrictions Apply to Deputy Director of the Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA), Dr David Sims for use English biota Charting Progress 2 Sea Areas 2009-06-18 creation Western Channel and Celtic Sea International Hydrographic Bureau, Limits of Oceans and Seas 1954-01-01 creation English Channel ICES Statistical Areas 2014-05-16 creation VIIe -4.4000 -4.0500 50.0333 50.2514 1949-01-01 1972-12-31 Data Archive for Seabed Species and Habitats (DASSH) Data Manager 01752 633102 01752 633291 Marine Biological Association of the UK, The Laboratory, Citadel Hill Plymouth PL1 2PB dassh.enquiries@mba.ac.uk distributor http://https://www.dassh.ac.uk/ DASSH homepage - general website A link to the general host site - DASSH Website dataset The survey was carried out on RV Sarsia using a Large (~19m headline) Otter Trawl without a reduced mesh cod-end or a cover.
