Metadata: 1990 Southampton Oceanography Centre, The Infauna of the Handfast Point Maerl Bed, Day Grab survey
Abstract:
Survey run by Southampton Oceanography Centre. All these records relate to "Rowe, Sheader, Jensen (1990) The infauna of the Handfast Point maerl bed" A copy of the report is held at English Nature (Dorset Team). This report concentrates solely on the benthic infauna of an area of live maerl in Poole Bay. The maerl bed is concentrated off Handfast Point at the southern end of Studland Bay. A line of 9 sites leading from the maerl bed was used to determine the relationship between the amount of maerl and the composition of the animal communities sampled. A single benthic sample was taken from each of these sites using a Day grab. N.B. No station 26. In addition, ten grab samples were taken from a single site (G3) in the maerl bed in an attempt to collect a greater number of the rarer species.The Day grab sampled an area of 0.1m2. All samples were washed on a 0.5mm sieve and the species retained on the sieve were identified in the lab. Live maerl separated from the samples was dried in an oven at 70oC, then weighed to the nearest 0.1g. Measurements of dead maerl present in individual samples were approximated by sieving through a 1.0mm mesh and removing the remaining small stones before drying as above. This report was originally produced by G.A. Rowe as a dissertation. Through a NCC contribution, the species list was expanded and confirmed and the report up-dated with the assistance of the other authors. The datum of the Lat/longs was not stated in the report, so has been assigned as OSGB in this database.

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. | 1990 Southampton Oceanography Centre, The Infauna of the Handfast Point Maerl Bed, Day Grab survey |
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. | 01a57b8cd776c92e4c3b02e19fa5542d |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MRLRC00100000536 |
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 | 1988-06-29 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1988-06-30 |
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 |
