ISEGGPRO: Fish Egg Production Survey Data from the Irish Sea, 1995 and 2000

Fishing tows were carried out on plankton surveys in the Irish Sea. The dataset holds station, catch, length, and biological data for each tow undertaken in 1995 and 2000 in the FSS database. It originates from the Government Digital Service via the eu_open_data platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze fish egg production and spawning patterns based on plankton survey data.
• Model fish population dynamics based on catch and length data from specific tows.
• Study the relationship between plankton abundance and fish reproductive success based on survey station data.

Strengths

• Data covers two distinct survey years, 1995 and 2000, allowing for temporal comparison.
• Includes multiple data categories: station, catch, length, and biological data.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
