Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5893 |
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. | 1979-1999 Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) Estuary trawling |
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. | fb2893fe18620a32acf482bb47277f42 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | DASSH0195 |
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 | 1979-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1999-12-31 |
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'. | continual |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Populations of fish from trawling of the Clyde Estuary from 1979 to 1999 by SEPA |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The estuarine fish populations have been monitored from 1979 mostly from trawl catches at Pillar Bank and between Dumbarton and Bowling. Additional records have come from abstraction meshes in King George V Dock in the 1980â??s and various ad hoc observations. The number of species recorded from year to year is quite variable and may include vagrants from freshwater (eg. Pike, Roach) or from offshore water (eg. Garfish). Migratory Salmon and Sea Trout returned in the mid 80â??s and are still present, though they have only very rarely been captured in routine sampling. SEPA endeavours to undertake fish friendly sampling and most fish are returned alive to the estuary. The cumulative curve of species recorded has shown a continuous upward trend. In addition to the salmonids, species which appear to have been absent in earlier years but which are now regularly observed include Sole, Dragonets, and Nilssons Pipefish (a relative of the seahorse). Of conservation interest is the discovery of migrating River Lampreys recovered in elver traps at the Tidal Weir in Glasgow in 2000. These threatened fish spend their early years in freshwater but migrate to marine waters to feed and grow before returning once again to rivers as adults to spawn. |
