Fish: Records for Kent

Dataset homepage

Citation

Kent & Medway Biological Records Centre (2023). Fish: Records for Kent. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/kd1utk accessed via GBIF.org on 2025-06-14.

Description

Fish: Records administered by the KMBRC. An initial limited dataset. Contact the KMBRC, or see: http//:www.kmbrc.org.uk
We are data custodians and would be able to pass on queries about the data to data owners. Unfortunately the Records Centre will not be able to offer any interpretive service; these requests will be passed to the data owners and dealt with on a case by case basis.

Purpose

These records have been collected under several different surveys. Some for the purposes of EIA, others as part of Kent recorder's activities.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Records have been collected by organisations and a number of volunteers, many of whom already record, and were passed onto Regional Recorders, where available, for validation. Data has been entered onto software at the KMBRC and data entry has been audited prior to sending records to the NBN.

Method steps

  1. The records are made up of species observations made by volunteers and submitted to Kent's Regional Recorders.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

Coverage for Kent using a combination of Watsonian Vice County boundaries (15 and 16) and the administrative boundary for Kent. The majority of records in this dataset are held at 100m level, some at 1km level, but the dataset will hold some records at 2km and 10km resolution. Records are provided at the precision in which they were originally recorded.
