Technical Report 112 – DEFRA Historical Research Vessel Data
This report describes a programme to retrieve and properly archive uncatalogued Research Vessel (RV) data held at CEFAS Lowestoft, formerly the Directorate of Fisheries Research. The earliest records discovered date back to surveys undertaken in 1904. For the period up to 1970, when reliable computer databases began, records of 2,367 surveys by 12 sea-going research vessels and eight estaurine/inshore vessels were located. A description of the type of data that were held in each of the 2,475 scientists Log Books from these surveys is included in a fully searchable Catalogue. A continuous record of research vessel activity is available, except for the periods during World Wars I and II. All data are now catalogued and stored in secure modern archiving facilities, and the CEFAS Library is the custodian of this data.

This Technical Report describes the information that is now available in the RV data archive at our Lowestoft laboratory. It contains: - The type of information that was discovered - The methods that were used to summarise the data from the archive - A brief description of the Excel "Historic RV database" that was created from this archive. The database is a catalogue of information held in the archive and does not contain raw data collected during any of the surveys. - How the database can be used to retrieve specific datasets. The report provides examples of potentially valuable time-series data that are available for further analysis. **References used for Historic RV Catalogue_Fish Names** British Fishes Volumes I and II: The Fishes of Great Britain and Ireland (Francis Day, F.L.S. & F.Z.S.)
