Modiolus modiolus presence/absence records from physical and biochemical condition of Modiolus modiolus in selected Shetland Voes. A map of Sullom Voe is included in the paper with individual sampling stations indicated. No latitude/longitude has been provided so an overall area of Sullom Voe has been estimated.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5330 |
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. | 1976 Shetland Voes Modiolus modiolus records (abs. recs included) |
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. | d9eda2fe0bf0fa8fd7674e0a4c994b13 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MRMLN001000000F2 |
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 | 1976-06-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1977-12-31 |
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 |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Modiolus modiolus presence/absence records from physical and biochemical condition of Modiolus modiolus in selected Shetland Voes. A map of Sullom Voe is included in the paper with individual sampling stations indicated. No latitude/longitude has been provided so an overall area of Sullom Voe has been estimated. |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | A general survey of the sub-tidal populations of Modiolus modiolus (L.) to a depth of 18-21m was carried out in five Shetland Voes, with particular emphasis on Sullom Voe. Estimations of density distributions and growth rate were made. Commencing in June 1976 samples were collected at three monthly intervals from two sites in Sullom Voe, and from Cat Firth in 1977, to investigate the seasonal variations in flesh and biochemical content. The data indicate that Shetland Modiolus are generally similar in their biology to those from Scottish lochs, and are liable to considerable variation between and within populations, with groups responding to the environmental variations of very local extent. A list of animals found associated with Modiolus and their byssus complexes is given [not entered onto Marine Recorder as species were not relevant to this contract]. As no effort was made to collect fauna systematically or quantitatively, the list is not comprehensive. This survey was collated by MarLIN as part of a data collation contract for species on the provisional list of Nationally Important Marine Features. |
