Title

2023 University of Plymouth Ropes to Reefs Project Benthic Survey Lyme Bay Mussel Farm Towed Underwater Video System

Abstract

Marine epibenthic and habitat data quantified in July 2023 in an offshore mussel farm in Lyme Bay using a towed underwater video system (TUVS). At each survey site/station a 200 x 0.5 metre transect was taken. Sites/stations are control sites (open to towed demersal fishing gear) based on previous survey experience in the area. Data will be used to help assess the ecological impact of the mussel farm by comparing benthic species diversity and abundance to nearby control sites, with the aim to inform the future management and implementation of aquaculture installations.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Sites/stations based on previous survey experience in the area. At each survey site/station a 200 x 0.5 metre transect was taken. 1 video transect recorded at each site. Height of Camera is approximately 1m. Habitat types observations consist of a combination of the following types, represented by the following letters; Â R Rock B Boulders C Cobbles P Pebbles G Gravel S Sand or a combination. These are general observations and have no summary statistics.
