Metadata: 1999-2009 UMBSM Clyde Sea Fairlie Channel Beam Trawl Survey
Abstract:
Semi-annual beam trawl samples are taken in Fairlie Channel, Firth of Clyde, as part of undergraduate field courses in marine biology at the University Marine Biological Station Millport. A species list of demersal fish and epibenthos is compiled. Samples are normally taken in March/April and August/September.

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. | 1999-2009 UMBSM Clyde Sea Fairlie Channel Beam Trawl 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. | 21429bc92ec5471cdbf207fde62a957a |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | UMBSM_FC |
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 | 1999-01-09 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-03-23 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |

Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Semi-annual beam trawl samples are taken in Fairlie Channel, Firth of Clyde, as part of undergraduate field courses in marine biology at the University Marine Biological Station Millport.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The University Marine Biological Station Millport (UMBSM) conducts and oversees marine biological field research for undergraduate and post graduate students. A benthic trawl survey is conducted on an annual basis by undergraduate students from the University of Glasgow and from the University of London. It is of priority that students within the marine biological field establish high quality species identification skills. All survey methods and classroom species identifications are overseen by an academic member of staff to ensure data quality assurance. The purpose of the survey was to investigate the benthos biodiversity of the Fairlie Channel, in the Firth of Clyde. A Beam trawl, deployed by UMBSM RV Aora (22m), was used to collect and sample benthos. The Beam trawl was towed at a depth of 36m for a distance of 1.4km at a speed of 2.3 knots. Trawls were approximately 15 minutes in duration. The trawl were 3m in width and 1m in height. Mesh size of the trawl net was 70mm. Once the catch was hauled on to the deck of the research vessel, a representative sample of all fauna present was collected and taken back to the laboratory at UMBSM. All other animals were returned to the sea undamaged. At the laboratory, samples were held in classroom tanks and identified to species level under the supervision of academic members of staff. Once species were identified, they were returned to the sea. |
