Metadata: 1961-1970 Duckpool, north Cornwall Sabellaria survey
Abstract:
Sabellaria alveolata presence records from colonies at Duckpool, north Cornwall. The paper describes the colonies of Sabellaria alveolata that have been recorded at Duckpool 1961-1970. A map indicating where on the shore the various colonies were found is provided but the scale of the map makes it very difficult to estimate the latitude/longitude and/or grid references of the colonies described. A point in the middle of the shore, given in the paper has been used.

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. | 1961-1970 Duckpool, north Cornwall Sabellaria 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. | 5094c2efc15ac08e0ebfc9017b8d327a |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MRMLN001000000D7 |
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 | 1961-05-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1970-11-30 |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Between May 1961 and November 1970 monthly visits were made to Duckpool, an exposed shore on the north coast of Cornwall, where Sabellaria alveolata (L.) is the dominant organism on low-level rocks uncovered only by spring tides. Massive colonies several feet across and up to some 2ft thick, mainly of shell particles cemented together by the worms, as well as many smaller colonies and single tubes, here reach their maximum development in south-west England. Sites and colonies were photographed and some measured at frequent intervals over long periods of time. Comparative studies of long series of color transparencies examined closely with a binocular microscope have proved invaluable in elucidating the manner and rate of growth of varied types of colonies, their lengths of life and the manner of their ultimate destruction. This survey was collated by MarLIN as part of a data collation contract for species on the provisional list of Nationally Important Marine Features. |
