Gulf of California databases of small pelagic fish

The Gulf of California databases of small pelagic fish are made up of a database of the program observed on-board jointly developed by INAPESCA and the NGO Comunidad y Biodiversidad (COBI), as an instrument for monitoring the fishing activities of the sardine fleet, which proven to be relevant for certifying the Gulf of California sardine fishery as sustainable under the Marine Stewardship Council standard. This information corresponds to the Sonora sardine fleet, from January 2013 to June 2014, with a record of 1,175 hauls with positive catches. These include information about Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax); thread herring (Opisthonema libertate); northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax); and Pacific anchoveta (Cetengraulis mysticetus). Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.
