Data were collected from every Rectangular Midwater Trawl performed during BROKE-West Rectangular Midwater Trawl 8 data are 95% accurate Rectangular Midwater Trawl 1 data are 60% accurate Identification of speciment to family level is 90% accurate Identification of specimen to species level is 60% accurate This dataset gives an overview of the fish (larvae) caught in the RMT 8+1 (Rectangular Midwater Trawl composed of nets with an 8 square metre and 1 square metre net opening surface area respectivly).
