Description
Survey of volutid snails (4 species) and infaunal and epibenthic bivalves (9 species) of interest for the artisanal fisheries at the southwest region of the San Matias Gulf, Patagonia. Data were collected in 1998-1999 by expert researchers of Research Council of Argentina, commissioned by the provincial administration to estimate biomass of species susceptible to commercial capture. The data were stored in digital support by the Fishing Agency of Chubut Province, Argentina.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 158 records.
2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage
Southeast area of the San Matias Gulf that boundaries with the San Jose Gulf. Puerto Lobos is the accessible point coast from the cliff. The beach has wide shelf (solid sandstone platform extending into the sea).The seabed is sand and mixed bottoms of gravel and sand, while the slope changes the depth in few meters. The weather is characterized by strong winds.The species presented range from 30m to 5m depth.

Taxonomic Coverage
All specimens are marine volutids and marine bivalves identified to species level. The dataset included four species of volutid snails (Zidona dufresnei, Adelomelon beckii, Adelomelon ancilla, Odontocymbiola magellanica) and eight species of Bivalvia (Aulacomya atra, Mytilus platensis, Ameghinomya antiqua, Aequipecten tehuelchus, Ensis macha, Panopea abbreviata, Atrina seminuda y Ostrea Puelchana.

Sampling Methods
The design of the survey was of fixed transects for visual census by SCUBA diving. Sampling included 29 transects perpendicular to the coast, from 5m to 30 m of deph, 8 oriented from West to East separated every 1800 m and 21 settled from South to North, separated every 1300m. The diver counted and recorded every 150m bivalves and volutids in a line of 1m wide covering 150m2. Representative specimens of gastropods and infaunal and epibenthic bivalves were collected. Complementary records of date, hour of start and end of each station, type of bottom and depth were included. The depth was taken with SCUBA diving computer and echo sound.
| Study Extent | Survey was conducted at the Puerto Lobos shoreline, to estimate the abundance and biomass of bivalves and volutids of commercial interest. The sampling place was selected for its logistic for artisanal fishermen, natural accessibility characteristics to get access by truck and zodiac boat, and the informal knowledge in the area of bivalves and volutids susceptible to being commercially exploited. |

| Quality Control | Taxonomy was verify by the curator Dr. Javier Signorelli of the IBIOMAR CENPAT-CONICET. |
