Metadata: Summary MSS Deepwater trawl species
Abstract:
The MSS deepwater trawl survey is a time series from the continental slope of the Rockall Trough, NE Atlantic. The survey covers depths between 300-2067m. The survey began in 1998 and has taken place each year except 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2010. The bottom trawl samples the demersal fish living on or near the sea bottom (fish that live in the water column are excluded). All fish species are identified and recorded. A total weight and number of individuals for each species is recorded. Length frequency data is collected from a representative sample of each species. This dataset is a summary of the main database and comprises information on total number and weight per hour of trawling for each species for each year. NperHr = number of individuals caught per hour of trawling, averaged across hauls in a year. KgperHr = biomass of individuals caught per hour of trawling (in kg), averaged across hauls in a year. SpeciesCode = a three letter Marine Scotland reference code. This data set was used in the publication written in collaboration with University of Sheffield ‘Mindel et al. 2015. A trait-based metric sheds new light on the nature of the body size–depth relationship in the deep sea. J. Anim. Ecol. (online: doi: 10.1111/1365-2656.12471).

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 6189 |
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. | Summary MSS Deepwater trawl species |
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. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_1699 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_1699 |
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 | 1998-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-12-31 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 55000.00 |
Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
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'. | Not Planned |
