Description
Southern North Sea survey data from one of nine 1968 expeditions investigating fish eggs and larvae in spawning areas. The dataset, aggregated by the Government Digital Service, likely contains station information from the RV Corella 03/68 survey. The full data includes counts of fish eggs, larvae, and other zooplankton, but only station data is currently available electronically.
Use Cases
Mapping historical survey station locations based on the station data.
Analyzing the spatial distribution of 1968 North Sea spawning areas mentioned in the description.
Studying the context for fish egg and larvae abundance surveys from the 1968 expedition series.
Strengths
Data originates from a series of nine dedicated scientific surveys conducted in 1968.
Focuses on a specific ecological study of fish eggs and larvae in southern North Sea spawning areas.
Limitations
Only station metadata is available electronically; the core biological counts (eggs, larvae, zooplankton) are not in this record.
Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
