Metadata: Triennial Mackerel Egg Surveys at the Shelf Edge - RV Cirolana 06/1992
Abstract:
Abundance of ichthyoplankton in samples from dedicated plankton surveys by Cefas with positional and sample data. Surveys took place off the Western Coast of the UK and Ireland between 1986 and 2004.
Data holder:
Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Lowestoft Laboratory (CEFAS)

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. | Triennial Mackerel Egg Surveys at the Shelf Edge - RV Cirolana 06/1992 |
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. | CEFAS775365c8-e372-47b4-b610-cfa14a3fb481 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS3793 |
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 |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Series of cruises undertaken to contribute to the estimation of the spawning stock biomass of the western mackerel and horse mackerel stocks by plankton survey. The tri-ennial mackerel egg surveys were begun in 1977 to estimate the SSB of the western mackerel stock. Since 1986 the surveys have also been used to estimate the SSB of horse mackerel. Plankton sampling is undertaken to estimate the egg production and trawling is carried out to estimate the mean fecundity of the mature female fish. Various designs of Gulf VII type samplers have been used with various apertures of nosecones and 270 micron nets. Samplers are now standardised to the 53cm version, fitted with 20cm aperture nosecones. Analysis at Cefas involved separating all fish eggs and larvae from samples. Where possibe all eggs were identified. Eggs lacking identifiable features were measured. Where >100 eggs were found, sub-sampling was undertaken. Eggs which were unmeasured were apportioned across the size distribution of measured eggs. All mackerel and horse mackerel eggs were staged. Associated Datasets: WG MEGS (ICES Working Group on Mackerel eggs) egg measurement data. Cirolana 6 1992 - 132 deployments were made using the 53cm plankton sampler fitted with a 15cm diameter nose cone and a 270µm micron aperture net. Rough sample counts indicate very little production of mackerel eggs along the shelf. 7 deployments of the LHPR were made down to 100m depth. Numbers of 'cell stages' were encouragingly high. Most early stages occurred abve 50m depth. |
