Catch data from a 1949 trawl survey in Tunisia (South-West Mediterranean)
This dataset contains an inventory of the benthic fauna of the Tunisian coasts caught by bottom trawling and dredging. The objectives are not known. We assume that this is an exploratory seabed trawling survey to assess faunistic composition and the fishing possibilities in the region with this gear. We know that the inventory was probably carried out by Jean-Marie Pérès (who was at the time assistant professor at the Science faculty in Marseille) and for which a hand-written copy by Jacques Ancellin (director of the Boulogne-sur-Mer laboratory after the Second World War and he joined the OSTPM in 1942) was recovered. Only species presence were recorded.
