Handbook of geo-statistics in R for fisheries and marine ecology.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2017)Fisheries surveys to estimate the abundance of populations have become a pillar in providing fishery-independent data to determine the status of fish stocks and monitor ecosystems. Since the early 1990s, ... -
Hydrocarbons: Review of methods for analysis in sea water, biota, and sediments.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 1991)The overview presented in the following paragraphs is not a collection of analytical procedures in the sense of a 'cookbook'. It is intended as an introduction to the subject and a collecti ... -
ICES Data Guidelines for Discrete Water Samples. (Compiled December 1999, revised August 2001; June 2006) .
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)In the context of this guideline, discrete water sample data are considered to be any data that result from a single collection of water and so cover s a huge variety of parameters. This collection of water must have ... -
ICES Data Guidelines for Seasoar (Batfish) data. (Compiled May 1999, revised August. 2001; December 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)The Seasoar (or Batfish) instrument is a towed platform typically equipped with a CTD. Other sensors, such as fluorometers or transmissometers, ma y also be added. The SeaSoar has hydraulically controlled wings, ... -
ICES Data Guidelines for Shipboard ADCP data. (Compiled May 1999; revised April 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)ADCPs (acoustic doppler current profiler) were first introduced to the oceanography community in the late 1970s (Rowe and Young, 1979). The instrument measures water veloc ity over a range of depths using doppler ... -
