Colección de Crustáceos Marinos (CRUST-IEOCD)

Data Records

The data in this occurrence 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 3,066 records.

1 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.

Project Data

EN The general objective of the EcoAfrik project is to study the biodiversity of benthic ecosystems on the continental shelves and slopes off West and East Africa, with special attention to Northwest Africa (CCLME region). Tjis involves the study and identification of more than 40,000 specimens of benthic invertebrates collected in waters off Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Namibia and Mozambique http://www.ecoafrik.es The COLECTAX program aims to create, develop and maintain a natural archive of marine fauna in the IEO. The correct taxonomic identification and revision of the species of fish and invertebrates hosted in our collections is the first step for the dissemination of biodiversity inventory in different marine areas. The accessibility to the database of the collections and its material will be key to the scientific research. The IEO currently has thousands of specimens of fish and invertebrates from very different geographical areas deposited in its reference collections in the Centers of Malaga, Cádiz, Tenerife and Vigo. It is especially relevant the material coming from the Atlantic coasts of Africa, due to their abundance and to the presence of numerous rare deep water species. SP El objetivo general del proyecto EcoAfrik es estudiar la biodiversidad de los ecosistemas bentónicos en las plataformas y taludes continentales de África occidental y oriental, con especial atención al África noroccidental (región CCLME). Esto implica el estudio e identificación de más de 40,000 especímenes de invertebrados bentónicos recolectados en aguas de Marruecos, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Cabo Verde, Namibia y Mozambique http://www.ecoafrik.es El programa COLECTAX tiene como objetivo crear, desarrollar y mantener un archivo natural de fauna marina en el IEO. La correcta identificación y revisión taxonómica de las especies de peces e invertebrados alojados en nuestras colecciones es el primer paso para la difusión del inventario de biodiversidad en diferentes áreas marinas. La accesibilidad a la base de datos de las colecciones y su material será clave para la investigación científica. El IEO cuenta actualmente con miles de especímenes de peces e invertebrados de áreas geográficas muy diferentes depositadas en sus colecciones de referencia en los Centros de Málaga, Cádiz, Tenerife y Vigo. Es especialmente relevante el material procedente de las costas atlánticas de África, debido a su abundancia y a la presencia de numerosas especies raras de aguas profundas.
