Irish Sea Annual Egg Production Method (AEPM) Plankton Survey - 2000

Between August 6th and September 6th 2000 a series of ichthyoplankton surveys
were carried out in the Irish Sea by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and
Aquaculture Science, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
Northern Ireland and the Department of the Marine to improve stock assessment
by the egg production method. Target species were cod (Gadus morhua) and
plaice (Pleuronectes platessa). The data described here consists of the
numbers of fish eggs and larvae and zooplankton, along with associated
positional and ancillary data and volumes filtered.

自2000年8月6日至9月6日，爱尔兰海域由环境、渔业和水产科学中心、北爱尔兰农业和农村发展部以及海洋部联合开展了一系列的浮游鱼类幼体调查，旨在通过卵产量法提升种群评估的精确度。调查目标物种为鳕鱼（Gadus morhua）和比目鱼（Pleuronectes platessa）。本描述中的数据包括鱼类卵和仔鱼以及浮游生物的数量，以及相关的位置信息和辅助数据，以及过滤体积。
