Description
Specimens collected and reported by the company SAM-marin (now STIM) from various environmental monitoring surveys in coastal areas and fjords from Agder to Nordland County. The material was collected in the years 1973-2000 and later deposited at the University Museum of Bergen (UMB) as documentation of species records and as a resource for research in biosystematics. Datasets from environmental monitoring are important documentation of species occurrences in time and space, and such datasets are of particular interest when specimens have been deposited in Museum collections as this will allow for future revisions and updates of species occurrence data. The material is stored as bulk samples of main taxon (e.g. polychaeta) from a given locality, typically a grab sample, and represents an important collection, although not with the same status as the traditional taxonomic Museum collection.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,449 records.
3 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
Versions
The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.
