Description

This is the OBIS extraction of the Ocean Tracking Network and Marine Scotland Science (MSS) PrePARED, 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=V2LPREP).

Abstract:The PrePARED project aims to improve our understanding of predator-prey interactions around offshore wind farms to reduce uncertainty in impact assessments and improve models of seabird, marine mammal, and fish distribution. This collaborative project involves nine organisations and focuses on prey availability (fish) as a key factor in predator distribution around wind farm infrastructure. Between 2022-2025, telemetry studies, using gadoid fish (including Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), whiting (Merlangius merlangus) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus)) are being carried out in the Moray Firth. The project focuses on prey distribution, abundance, diversity and biomass investigating "reef effects" caused by offshore wind farms and their potential to support fish biomass aggregation or production. Marine mammal distribution and behaviour is also monitored alongside fish data, assessing how the construction and operation of wind farms and environmental factors influence predator spatial distribution.

Financement 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).
Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche No study area description for this project was provided to OTN for publication.
Description du design 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.

Méthodes d'échantillonnage

Acoustic tags released.

Etendue de l'étude Program started 2022-04-01 and ran until 2026-12-01
Contrôle qualité 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

Description des étapes de la méthode:

  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.
