Descripción

This is the OBIS extraction of the Ocean Tracking Network and Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Maritimes Conservation Network: St. Anns Bank Marine Protected Area (MPA) Acoustic Tracking Study, consisting of the release tagging metadata, i.e. the location and date when the tagged animal was released, and summarized detection events of tagged individuals. If readers are interested in the source dataset they may also inquire with the project PIs as listed here or on the OTN web site (https://members.oceantrack.org/project?ccode=SABMPA).

Abstract:The St. Anns Bank Marine Protected Area was established in June 2017. In support of the long-term management of this MPA, an ecosystem monitoring program is currently being designed to evaluate performance relative to conservation objectives. Data describing the spatial-temporal patterns of species movement relative to MPA boundaries is essential for evaluating species composition and to gauge the protective capacity of the MPA. In 2015, a snow crab (Chionoceotes opilio) movement monitoring project was established in the St. Anns Bank area, with collaboration between industry, the OTN and DFO (previously projects V2LSCF and ZSC). Acoustic receiver arrays deployed as part of this project provide an opportunity to record the presence of tagged species who reside in, or transit through, the MPA. In particular, acoustic monitoring of tagged focal species (Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), Atlantic striped wolfish (Anarhichas lupus)), Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), and snow crab inside the MPA and beyond the receiver array, will provide important information for performance evaluation and design. As part of the Maritimes Conservation Network, this tracking study will contribute to understanding species connectivity among sites of conservation interest in the region.

Fuentes de Financiación No funding information for this project was provided to OTN for publication. OTN is a research and technology development initiative headquartered at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. OTN is funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and is grateful to have once received funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
Descripción del área de estudio No study area description for this project was provided to OTN for publication.
Descripción del diseño A wide range of aquatic species are tagged with small electronic transmitters, surgically implanted or attached externally, which can operate for up to 20 years. Acoustic receivers arranged in line on the ocean floor as well as attached to buoys, gliders and large animals (e.g. grey seals) pick up the coded acoustic signals from these tags identifying each tagged sea creature that passes within half a kilometer of the receiver. Data collected by these listening stations are subsequently uploaded to one of many compatible data nodes, adding to the reach of an intercompatible network of networks designed and maintained by the Ocean Tracking Network, producing current and reliable records for every part of the globe. Certain classes of electronic tags and listening equipment (receivers) may also be outfitted or co-located with sensors to measure the ocean's temperature, depth, salinity, currents, chemistry, and other properties.

Métodos de muestreo

Acoustic tags released.

Área de Estudio Program started 2016-06-11 and ran until
Control de Calidad OTN species names are verified using the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). If species names on new data cannot be verified against (a) known valid names in OTN, and/or (b) WoRMs the Data Provider will be notified so they can check they are correct. Names that cannot be placed after checking with WoRMS are, where possible, placed on the basis of other authoritative sources, such as the Fishbase or ITIS; and once completely verified a request will be sent to WoRMS for addition of the verified species name. http://members.oceantrack.org/data/discovery/byspecies

Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:

  1. This resource was created by the Ocean Tracking Network Data Centre as a summarized representation of animal presence determined by electronic tagging efforts. Darwin Core (DwC) records were extracted from the OTN database and filtered and summarized according to international agreed-upon standards.
