Stomach content dataset: Online release (09/06/10)

Keith — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:13:56 +0000

ICES have compiled and are now releasing an historical ‘Year of the Stomach’ dataset for the North Sea. A standardized and quality-controlled version of the stomach dataset that has been prepared in a response to a WGSAM request. The first year of the stomach ran in 1981 and covered a handful of species in the North Sea. There was a follow up data collection performed in 1985-1986 and a decade later in 1991 the 2nd year of the stomach ran. The stomach contents dataset has data from 1980 to 1991 and it is available for download here.
