ICES DATRAS trawl survey database

ICES DATRAS trawl survey database

ICES's DATRAS database (datras.ices.dk) provides fishery-independent bottom-trawl survey data (hauls, length and age samples, catch per unit effort) for North-East Atlantic surveys via web services and downloads. The DATRAS page says: "DATRAS Web Services offer a possibility to search and retrieve data from DATRAS database by granting direct access to the data."

Coverage

Fishery-independent bottom-trawl survey data (hauls, length and age samples, catch per unit effort) for North-East Atlantic surveys, confirmed live today via the DATRAS web service listing operations getHHdata, getHLdata, getCAdata and getCPUELength. This entry covers public DATRAS data only; ICES lists separate restricted-data licences (for example VMS/Logbook, preliminary catches) that are not part of this listing. History start and update frequency: Not stated.

Verdict

Keyless web services and downloads for fishery-independent bottom-trawl survey data (hauls, length and age samples, catch per unit effort) for North-East Atlantic surveys: "DATRAS Web Services offer a possibility to search and retrieve data from DATRAS database by granting direct access to the data." Licensed CC-BY-4.0: ICES's data policy says "All public data are under the Creative Commons ( CC BY 4.0 ) licence". Restricted data collections (VMS/Logbook, preliminary catches and similar) stay under their own licences and are not covered by this listing. This is a separate product from the live ices-official-catch-statistics entry, which covers ICES catch statistics rather than this trawl-survey database. Rate limits: Not stated.
