Cyanobacteria (also referred to as blue-green algae) are common photosynthetic bacteria that live in surface waters. Under favorable conditions, such as warm water and high nutrient content, these bacteria can form nuisance “blooms”. The presence of blooms in recreational water causes unpleasant...

Beach core data samples consist of capelin eggs and larvae extracted from beach sites using sediment cores at high, medium and low tide. These sites are identifiable by a location or community code. The capelin egg totals and pre-emergent larvae totals are computed annually and daily. Data...

Five fixed sites at Bellevue Beach inshore area have been sampled with surface plankton tows from 2001-2021. Emergent larvae are sampled from the first to last day of emergence in the summer (July-August), which can result in surface tows being conducted every 24-72 hours for 6-8 weeks. This...

Beach emergence data samples consist of capelin larvae only. These samples are extracted from various beach sites at high tidal conditions, using a modified beach seine with a plankton net fitting that was towed for 40 m along the beach edge. Data series is from 1990-2012. See Nakashima and...
