Verspreiding van pelagische organismen van het Belgisch Continentaal Plat
Description in English
Between January 2003 and February 2004 samples were taken on a monthly basis at eight different station in the Belgian Continental Shelf. The pelagic fish samples were taken using a MIK-net (Midwater Isaac's Kidd trawl) with a mesh size of 3 by 3 mm. At each station trawling took place above the bottom and below the water surface and a number of environmental parameters were recorded (turbidity, salinity en temperature) using a CTD-scan (SBE 19plus). All fish identified to species, counted, measured and densities were calculated. For dominant species, focus was on spatial and temporal variation as well as size distribution.
Description in nl
Van januari 2003 tot februari 2004 werden er op maandelijkse basis staalnames uitgevoerd met het onderzoeksschip R.V. De Zeeleeuw op acht stations op het Belgisch Continentaal Plat. De pelagische vissen werden bemonsterd met een MIK-net (Midwater Isaac's Kidd trawl) met een maaswijdte van 3 op 3 mm. Per station werd een sleep boven de bodem en een sleep onder het wateroppervlak uitgevoerd. Per sleep werden een aantal omgevingsvariabelen (turbiditeit, saliniteit en temperatuur) gemeten met behulp van een CTD-scan (SBE 19plus). Alle vissen werden gedetermineerd tot op soortsniveau, geteld, gemeten en de densiteiten werden berekend. Voor de soorten die de vangst domineerden werd de aandacht gericht op de ruimtelijke en de temporele verspreiding alsook op de grootteklasse verdeling.
Abstract in English
Study of the dispersion and dispersal mechanisms of pelagic key species on the Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS). The focus of the dataset is on those species that have a pelagic life-style or have pelagic larvae, mainly clupeidae. The Belgian coastal waters are internationally very important areas for a number of sea and coastal birds. Studying the distribution patterns of the possible food sources (i.c. Pelagic fish) of these birds will lead to a better understanding of their spatial distribution patterns. Sampling is done with the Zeeleeuw R.V. Underway data is registrated in MIDAS.
