Metadata: 1995-1999 Limaria hians in Loch Fyne
Abstract:
Marine benthic species abundance data from a five year study in Loch Fyne, carried out between 1995-1999, carried out by the University of Glasgow. Species were recorded as 1 = species found attached to nests of Limaria hians. 2 = species mainly vagile on nests of Limaria hians. 3 = species mainly found in nests of Limaria hians.

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. | a4104f783874ee600988109954e8bfc1 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MRMLN00200000023 |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Following work on Maerl beds in European waters (BIOMAERL team 1999) attention was raised to a neglected type of bigenic reef; limaria hians. The university of glasgow carried out this study - The surveys (conducted 1999) involved over 80 30-60 minute dives and sampling with a 0.1m2 van Veen grab. a list of macroflora and invertebrate macrofauna found on six discrete nests from the Creag Gobhainn area of Loch Fyne was compiled in 1998-99. Six 'nests' of a similar size and shape, were collected being roughly circular as seen from above, ranging from 23 to 30cm in diameter. A diver gently lifted each nest off the seabed by hand quickly encased it in a strong plastic bag, which was tied closed and placed in a second plastic bag to retain the nest and its contents. The bagged samples were stored in seawater at 10oC overnight. The next day each nest was laid in a tray of clean seawaterd while the macrofauna and flora were removed with forceps. Once surface dwelling organisms were removed, the nests were teased apart to remove the burrowing inhabitants. Before discarding the suspension of broken nest material and seawater was washed through a 1mm sieve and picked through once more with forceps to remove organisms for identification. |
