Dogger Bank Mega-Epibenthos - Long term monitoring projectMichaelTuerkaySenckenbergSenckenberganlage, 25Frankfurt am Main60325GermanyMichaelTuerkayassociatedParty2013-06-21The dataset contains megabenthos-species occurrence and abundance data from 37 locations on the Dogger Bank (central North Sea), from 1991 until 2011 (except 1998, 2000 and 2007). Additional accompanying datasets, containing temperature, salinity and currents at the sampling locations are also available.The above URL leads to our cruise reports and some CTD data.Obtain permission from data set owner(s)Dogger Bank, central North Sea, mainly within the 30 m depth contour1.04.555.7554.251991-07-29Phylae (total no. of species): Pisces (47), Mollusca (45), Arthropoda (32), Cnidaria (29), Echinodermata (13), Annelida (12), Bryozoa (7), Porifera (4), Tunicata (3), Nemertea (2);

Beam trawl-, CTD-, RCM9-sampling
CTD-Sampling:
sampling temperature and salinity of the whole water column before each beam trawl sampling
RCM9-Sampling:
recording current velocity on the sea floor
before each beam trawl sampling
Beam-trawl sampling:
2m frame with net, towed for one nautical mile at two knots of speed at each sampling location. The catch is sieved, sorted and all animals from the >1 cm fraction are determined to species level,
smaller fractions are preserved in formalin for later ananlysis
