This dataset was collected in the framework of two different projects, recording biological parameters and an investigation of the effects of WWTP on the zoobenthos in Saronikos Gulf

Phytoplankton monitoring in the Trieste harbour, in the North Adriatic Sea (Port Authority) in March 2015.

The available data through GBIF.ES represents 5-10% of the Oceanographic Center of Malaga fauna collection, Spanish Institute of Oceanography. It is made up of fish captured between 100 and 2000 m depth in Mauritania, and comprises 246 Teleostei specimens, i.e. 137 species from 65 families, some Elasmobranchii, i.e. 20 species from 6 families, and one <i>Myxine ios</i> specimen.

The dataset contains records of the Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus), a major wild prey of the Iberian Wolf, collected in the lower valley of River Sabor (NE Portugal), in the scope of the long-term Ecological Monitoring Program (PME) of the Baixo Sabor Hydroelectric Dams (AHBS), promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A. This dataset includes results of surveys made in and around the area affected by the dam, from June 2010 to April 2014. Sampling was performed in transects distributed along the lower Sabor river valley (and some tributaries), and in rivers Maçãs and Angueira, from the river mouth up to 42 km upstream. The presence of the target species was assessed through faecal pellet surveys, due to difficulties in directly observing the species.

Dataset of marine turtle sightings, strandings and captures occurring in French waters from 1990 to 2003.

The first “organized” and regular biological observations at the time series station C1 in the Gulf of Trieste, North Adriatic Sea, date back to the early 1970s and were initiated by the University of Trieste. A regular monthly sampling for hydrological, chemical as well as biological (phytoplankton and zooplankton in several size classes) analysis began later, in 1986. The time series station C1, initiated by the University of Trieste, was later taken care by the Laboratory of Marine Biology of Trieste after its formal institution in December 1979 and, since October 2005, by the Department of Biological Oceanography, now Division of Oceanography (OCE) of OGS, Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e Geofisica Sperimentale of Trieste. 

Phytoplankton data collected by the IBSS staff at diurnal stations in the Sukhumi region, Black Sea, in November 1948. This dataset contains abundance data (individuals per liter) for phytoplankton taxa. No additional metadata is available.

SEAPOP (SEAbird POPulations) is a long-term monitoring and mapping programme for Norwegian seabirds that was established in 2005. The programme represents a new initiative for these activities in Norway, Svalbard and adjacent sea areas, and will provide and maintain base-line knowledge of seabirds for an improved management of this marine environment. The data analyses aim to develop further models of seabird distribution and population dynamics using different environmental parameters, and to explore the degree of covariation across different sites and species. This knowledge is urgently needed to distinguish human influences from those caused by natural variation.

Data on demersal and mega-benthic species were sampled in the context of the MEDITS suveys carried out on the Spanish Mediterranean continental shelf since 1994. MEDITS is a program of bottom trawl surveys developed annually in the Mediterranean, in which all the participants use the same gear, sampling protocol and methodology, with the objective to evaluate the abundance and distribution of stocks, independently of the data provided by commercial fisheries, and to assess the impact of the fishing activity on the environment.
