RESTORE Sponsored Research Project: Linking habitat to recruitment: evaluating the importance of pelagic Sargassum to fisheries management in the Gulf of Mexico

공공데이터포털

This project will evaluate the importance of Sargassum as a nursery habitat for fish in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

RESTORE Sponsored Research Project: Cooperative monitoring program for spawning aggregations in the Gulf of Mexico

공공데이터포털

This project compiled and evaluated existing information on fish spawning aggregations in the Gulf of Mexico as the basis to design a cooperative, Gulf-wide conservation and monitoring program focused on fish spawning aggregations. The investigators compiled existing biological and fisheries information for Gulf of Mexico species known or likely to form spawning aggregations and identified existing datasets and monitoring programs in the Gulf of Mexico that could inform regional monitoring of spawning aggregations.

Poplar Island Environmental Restoration Project Nekton Data

공공데이터포털

The Poplar Island Environmental Restoration Project (PIERP) is a large scale 1,800 acres restoration project located in mid Chesapeake Bay. Fishery collections are conducted three times per year to assess fishery use of restored wetlands. Collection gear types used included fyke net, gill net, crab pot, and otter trawl all used to assess forage and predator fish abundances. Survey data is used to assess the functions of the restored PIERP wetlands, and adjacent shallow water habitats influenced by the PIERP, relative to reference habitats and to pre-construction conditions. Data from these collections will also help assess restored wetland maturity and its ability to maintain stable resident and predator fish populations.

NOAA RESTORE Science Program: Linking Community and Food-web Approaches to Restoration: On-marsh nekton community in restored vs. natural Louisiana marshes near the West Pointe A La Hache siphon, 2018-05-17 to 2019-05-20 (NCEI Accession 0304326)

공공데이터포털

This dataset contains abundance, mass, length, sex and species composition of the on-marsh nekton community in restored (LHA, LHB) and natural (LHC, WPH1, WPH2, PS7) marshes at various distances from a freshwater diversion in the vicinity of West Pointe a la Hache, Lake Hermitage, and Port Sulphur, Louisiana in May 2018 and May 2019. Minnow traps (wire mesh traps) were deployed at three sub-habitat locations (edge, creeks, ponds) at each site. Taxonomic identification of individuals was determined to the lowest possible taxonomic level. Salinity and temperature data for each sample location are also included in this dataset. Data are in spreadsheet format.
