Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 6313 |
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. | FishDAC - Acoustic Survey (Scotland) |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Herring Acoustic Survey, Pelagic Survey, Spawning/pre-spawning Herring Acoustic 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. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_396 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_396 |
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 | 1979-07-25 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2019-11-28 |
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'. | unknown |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Parent record of the Scottish acoustic surveys, including the North Sea survey (1979-to date) and west of Scotland survey (1987,1991-to date). Part of the ICES-coordinated acoustic surveys. See also the individual cruise records. |
Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Calibrated acoustic systems are used to process returning echos. Trawl haul samples are taken to identify the species being surveyed and to measure their biological characteristics to allow fish numbers and biomass to be calculated. Results are integrated with those from other nations' coordinated surveys. CTD measurements taken to characterise the species environment. Separate North Sea and west of Scotland surveys until 2011 when a combined survey was carried out. |
Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | Simmonds,E.J. (2003) ICES Journal of Marine Science 60(3) 463-471 |
