Ichthyoplankton Analysis Data from the UK's Western Coastal Shelf 2016
Description
Ichthyoplankton abundance data (fish eggs and larvae) to study the Spatial
abundance of the species in 2016 from the western approaches of the Celtic sea
in the region between 48 degrees N and 54.5 degrees N between March and
August along the western continental shelf from France to the waters around
the middle of Ireland. These samples were loaned to Cefas by ICES WGMEGS
participating nations that collected the samples. The dataset consists of 551
samples split across 6 different time periods with a total of 59,160 eggs of
which 45,721 identified to 30 different taxa and 78,067 larvae of which 69,894
were identified to 72 different taxonomic groups. Within the data set the date
and time is recorded along with the latitude and longitude position. For each
entry at maximum depth the profiler reached and the total volume of seawater
filtered (m3), calculated by flowmeters, is recorded for each record.
