112 stations were sampled during a survey from 25/07/2001 to 07/08/2001 aboard the RV Corystes. The dataset contains station, catch, length, and biological data for 81 species, alongside benthic, litter, water temperature, salinity, and acoustic data. It was collected by Cefas using a 4m beam trawl in the Southern North Sea and Eastern English Channel to support EU regulations and ICES research.
Use Cases
- Modeling fish population dynamics based on catch and length data for 81 species
- Analyzing benthic community composition and health from associated biological samples
- Studying marine litter distribution patterns in the English Channel
- Correlating species presence with environmental variables like water temperature and salinity
Strengths
- Data covers 112 distinct sampling stations, providing spatial breadth
- Includes multi-faceted data: biological catch for 81 species and environmental measurements like temperature and salinity
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
