A marine survey conducted by Cefas aboard the Corystes between July 20 and August 5, 2007. It covers 113 stations in the Southern North Sea and Eastern English Channel, recording data on 200 different species caught. The survey collected station, catch, length, and biological data to support EU regulations and ICES research.
Use Cases
- Analyze species distribution and abundance based on catch data from 113 stations.
- Model population demographics for selected species based on biological and length data.
- Assess benthic community health based on collected benthic data.
- Correlate environmental factors like water temperature and salinity with species presence.
- Support fisheries management and policy based on data collected for EU regulations.
Strengths
- Survey operations were undertaken on 113 stations, providing spatial coverage.
- 200 different species were caught, indicating taxonomic breadth.
- Data collection includes multiple data types: station, catch, length, biological, benthic, litter, and environmental.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified; the last metadata update was 2026-06-11.
