Pelagic and Demersal Fish Database I, REVIZEE South Area (WSAOBIS) Citation Contact: Marino, Alexandre Availability: Unrestricted The data are freely available to anybody and may be used for any purpose. Usage acknowledgement may be required Description This data set contains records of pelagic and demersal fish collected during the REVIZEE program off the southern Brazilian coast. Six oceanographic cruises were carried out from 1996 to 1999 between Cape of São Tomé (22oS) and Chuí (34oS). Pelagic fish distribution was investigated with acoustic methods (SIMRAD EK-500, double frequency ecosound, of 38 and 120 kHz) and fish was collected with a mid-water trawl at stations with high target strength, mainly within 100 and 500-m depth. Demersal fish were investigated to assess the fishing potential of catches vulnerable to hooks over both hard and soft bottoms on the outer shelf and upper slope – 80% of captures consisted of commercially valuable species. more This data set contains records of pelagic and demersal fish collected during the REVIZEE program off the southern Brazilian coast.
