Macrobenthos monitoring in function of aggregate extraction activities in the Belgian part of the North Sea Citable as data publication Bio-environmental research group; Institute of Agricultural and Fisheries research (ILVO), Belgium; (2016): Macrobenthos monitoring in function of aggregate extraction activities in the Belgian part of the North Sea. https://doi.org/10.14284/199 Contact: Van Hoey, Gert Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description Macrobenthos monitoring in function of aggregate extraction activities. The samples were taken following a impact/control design at the locations were aggregate extraction is expected or occur. more Sampling area: Aggregate extraction zones in the Belgian Part of the North sea Sampling frequency: The sampling events are mainly in autumn and depending on the research needs also in spring or another moment. Sampling at each zone is done yearly or in a cyclus of once in three years, depending on intensity of the extraction activity Scope Themes: Biology > Benthos Keywords: Marine/Coastal, Macrobenthos, ANE, Belgium, Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS), ANE, North Sea, EurOBIS calculated BBOX Geographical coverage ANE, Belgium, Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS) [Marine Regions] ANE, North Sea [Marine Regions] EurOBIS calculated BBOX Stations Bounding Box Coordinates: MinLong: 2,4943; MinLat: 51,226 - MaxLong: 2,918; MaxLat: 51,69 [WGS84] Temporal coverage From 2004 on [In Progress] Parameters Area of sample {sampled area} from the bed [BODC] Count (in assayed sample) of biological entity specified elsewhere [BODC] Development stage of biological entity specified elsewhere [BODC] Gender of biological entity specified elsewhere [BODC] Wet weight biomass of biological entity specified elsewhere per unit area of the bed [BODC] Contributors Vlaamse overheid; Beleidsdomein Landbouw en Visserij; Instituut voor landbouw- , visserij en voedingsonderzoek; Kenniseenheid: Dier; Aquatisch Milieu en Kwaliteit, more Vlaamse overheid; Beleidsdomein Landbouw en Visserij; Instituut voor landbouw- , visserij en voedingsonderzoek; Kenniseenheid: Dier; Aquatisch Milieu en Kwaliteit; Biologisch milieuonderzoeksgroep, more, data creator Related datasets Publication Based on this dataset De Backer, A. et al.
