Scientific survey catch data: Bentho-demersal assemblages in Mediterranean sea (Corsica and Sardinia) in 1963

This dataset contains an inventory of bentho-demersal fauna captured by bottom trawling in Corsica and in the north of Sardinia. There are also counts, measurements of weight, length and sexe determination of individuals. This exploratory bottom trawl survey aimed at evaluating the fishing possibilities in the region. Unfortunatly the exact location of each station could not be recovered. According to the institute 1964 activity report, this survey carried out in November and December 1963 enabled to locate trawlable areas in deep waters off Eastern Corsica, in particular off Bastia, Aleria and Solenzara. It also permitted to locate high yield deep shrimps’ areas off the coasts of Sardinia, in particular the south coast between the capes Spartivento and Sperone, the west coast between the cape Sperone and the gulf d’Oristano and between the capes Mannu and Argenteria and the north-east coast off cape Ferro.
