2016 SoE Marine Chapter - State and Trends - Invertebrate species, outer shelf (25 m - 250 m)

The Marine chapter of the 2016 State of the Environment (SoE) report incorporates multiple expert templates developed from streams of marine data. This metadata record describes the Expert Assessment "The state and trends of quality of species and groups – invertebrate species, outer shelf (25 m - 250 m)". The full Expert Assessment, including figures and tables (where provided), is attached to this record. Where available, the Data Stream(s) used to generate this Expert Assessment are accessible through the "On-line Resources" section of this record.----------------------------------------DESCRIPTION OF ECOLOGICAL HABITAT/COMMUNITY FOR EXPERT ASSESSMENTA wide range of both sessile and mobile invertebrate species inhabit the continental shelf. Large areas of soft sediments are dominated by infauna and mobile epifauna, but there are also extensive regions with abundant sessile epifauna, including sponges, soft corals and bryozoans. Hard corals are covered in another section.DATA STREAM(S) USED IN EXPERT ASSESSMENTPeer reviewed publications, fishery stock assessment reports and data from the IMOS autonomous underwater vehicle facility. Details of the specific data sets used to generate the assessment have not been provided.----------------------------------------2016 SOE ASSESSMENT SUMMARY [see attached Expert Assessment for full details]• 2016 •Assessment grade: GoodAssessment trend: StableConfidence grade: Limited evidenceConfidence trend: Limited evidenceComparability: Grade and trend are comparable to the 2011 assessment• 2011 •Assessment grade: GoodAssessment trend: StableConfidence grade: Limited evidenceConfidence trend: Limited evidence----------------------------------------CHANGES SINCE 2011 SOE ASSESSMENTN/A2016年《环境状况（State of the Environment，SoE）》报告的海洋章节纳入了多套基于海洋数据流生成的专家模板。本元数据记录针对专家评估报告《物种及类群质量的现状与趋势——外陆架（25米-250米）无脊椎动物》进行说明。本完整专家评估报告（含已提供的图表）已附于本记录中。若可获取，本专家评估所使用的数据流可通过本记录的“在线资源”板块查阅。 ----------------------------------------专家评估所用生态栖息地/群落描述 陆架海域栖息着大量固着型与移动型无脊椎动物物种。大片软质沉积物海域以底内动物和移动型底上动物为优势类群，但也存在大量分布着丰富固着型底上动物的区域，这类动物包括海绵、软珊瑚以及苔藓虫。硬质珊瑚相关内容将在其他章节阐述。 ----------------------------------------专家评估所用数据流 经同行评议的学术文献、渔业种群评估报告，以及IMOS自主水下航行器设施采集的数据。本次评估所使用的具体数据集细节尚未提供。 ----------------------------------------2016年SoE评估总结【完整细节请参阅所附专家评估报告】 • 2016年 评估等级：良好 评估趋势：稳定 置信等级：证据有限 置信趋势：证据有限 可比性：本次评估的等级与趋势可与2011年的评估结果对标 • 2011年 评估等级：良好 评估趋势：稳定 置信等级：证据有限 置信趋势：证据有限 ----------------------------------------2011年SoE评估以来的变化 无相关数据
