MARLIN TechRep Products and Quality Assurance

Datum 15.07.2020

Over several years AWI and BSH have worked together in close cooperation to establish biological and technical criteria for plausibility checking of benthos and fish data in MARLIN, always focusing on the automation of these actions. The necessary mechanisms and algorithms were developed and implemented transparently in MARLIN in close cooperation with SCOPELAND Technology. Furthermore, the data quality in MARLIN and the implementation of the criteria and algorithms were evaluated. Attention has always been paid to the compatibility of the systems MARLIN (BSH) and CRITTERBASE (AWI), particularly with regard to future high-quality data exchange. This report provides a summary of these activities implemented within the MARLIN system
