As it was gradually realised that the survey also yielded valuable information for other fish species, such as cod and haddock, the objectives were broadened and the survey was renamed into the International Young Fish Survey (IYFS). Besides the IYFS, which was carried out in the first quarter, a number of national surveys developed in the 1970's and 1980's that were mainly carried out in the third quarter. In 1990 ICES decided to combine the international and the national surveys into the IBTS. The IBTS is carried out twice per year (1st and 3rd Quarters) since 1997 and on a quarterly basis in the period 1991-1996. Prior to 1977 there was no standardisation of gear although all ships used bottom trawls with a small mesh cover. In 1977 ICES recommended that all ships should use a GOV trawl as specified by the Institut des Peches Maritimes, Boulogne. A detailed description of the net is to be found in the manual (Anon. 2004). The GOV trawl has been gradually phased in, e.g. in 1979 only 3 vessels were equipped with the GOV trawl, but by 1983 all 8 nations were using this gear. It should be noted that although the gear is now standard, variations in the rigging exist between the various countries. The fishing method is also standardized and described in the manual (Anon. 2004). Fishing speed is 4 knots measured as trawl speed over the ground. In 1977 ICES also recommended that the duration of a tow should be reduced from an hour to half an hour with the catch data to be expressed in numbers per hour. All nations accepted this recommendation although it was a number of years before 30 minutes became the standard."; String FreshFlag "0"; Float64 geospatial_lat_max 61.88; Float64 geospatial_lat_min 49.88; String geospatial_lat_units "degrees_north"; Float64 geospatial_lon_max 12.875; Float64 geospatial_lon_min -3.967; String geospatial_lon_units "degrees_east"; String history "2025-03-09T23:03:56Z (local files) 2025-03-09T23:03:56Z http://erddap.eurobis.org/tabledap/ices_DATRAS_NS_IBTS.das"; String infoUrl "None"; String InputNotes "None"; String institution "ICES"; String keywords "aphia_id, BasisOfRecord, DayCollected, InstitutionCode, latitude, longitude, MaximumDepth, MonthCollected, Notes, ObservedIndividualCount, ScientificName, sex, time, TimeOfDay, YearCollected"; String License "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"; String license "The data may be used and redistributed for free but is not intended for legal use, since it may contain inaccuracies.

The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
