This dataset contains juvenile Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) abundance data and associated habitat data from three estuaries in Oregon (Tillamook, Yaquina, and Alsea bays). These data were collected by EPA surveys in 2010-2011. Additionally, this dataset includes areal data on National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) habitat classes within our study areas. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Lewis, N., D. Young, C. Folger, and T. DeWitt. Assessing the Relative Importance of Estuarine Nursery Habitats – a Dungeness Crab (Cancer magister) Case Study. Estuaries and Coasts. Estuarine Research Federation, Port Republic, MD, USA, s12237-020-00821-1, (2020).

충청남도 내 바닷속에 수산생물의 산란, 서식장 등을 조성하기 위하여 시설한 인공어초 현황(1973년부터 2023년까지)

Physical, chemical, marine fish, shellfish, and other data from bottle casts and bottom trawls from the JEFF AND TINA from 11 October 1980 to 27 July 1981. Data were collected by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and other institutions as part of the EPA Flower Gardens Banks Environmental Monitoring program. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F004 Water Physics and Chemistry format and the F123 Fish/Shell-fish Surveys format. The F004 format is used for data from measurements and analyses of physical and chemical characteristics of the water column. Among chemical parameters that may be recorded are salinity, pH, and concentration of oxygen, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, chlorophyll, and suspended solids. Physical parameters that may be recorded include temperature, density (sigma-t), transmissivity, and current velocity (east-west and north-south components). Cruise and station information, including environmental conditions of the study site at the time of observations, is also included. This F123 file format is used for data from field sampling of marine fish and shellfish. The data derive from analysis of midwater or bottom tow catches and provide information on population density and distribution. Cruise information, position, date, time, gear type, fishing distance and duration, and number of hauls are reported for each survey. Environmental data may include meteorological conditions, surface and bottom temperature and salinity, and current direction and speed. Bottom trawl or other gear dimensions and characteristics are also reported. Catch statistics (e.g., weight, volume, number of fish per unit volume) may be reported for both total haul and for individual species. Biological characteristics of selected specimens, predator/ prey information (from stomach contents analysis), and growth data may also be included. A text record is available for comments.

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, anadromous, and freshwater fish species in Maryland. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distribution, concentration areas, and spawning areas. Species specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer.This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Maryland. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, and freshwater species in the Florida Panhandle. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distribution and aggregation areas. Species specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Florida. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.

Technical data reports with tabulated sets of physical, biogeochemical, and fisheries data were obtained from Dr. David Ziemann of Oceanic Institute on Oahu, Hawaii. The reports are from the Association of Primary Production and Recruitment in Subarctic Ecosystems (APPRISE) project, a five-year (1985-1989) program of multidisciplinary data collection in Auke Bay, Alaska.

The Calcasieu Ship Channel provides an avenue for the rapid movement of high-salinity water into the East Mud Lake project area of southern Louisiana resulting in plant death and marsh loss. Following construction of water control structures at East Mud Lake designed to stabilize salinity and water levels and ensure movement of commercial species into and out of the project area, densities of nekton and the extent of vegetative cover were assessed and compared for project and reference sites to estimate the impact of construction on wetland habitats.

This USGS data release represents tabular and geospatial data for the Gulf Sturgeon Bayesian Network Model. The Gulf Sturgeon is a federally listed, anadromous species, inhabiting Gulf Coast rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters from Louisiana to Florida. The data release was produced in compliance with 'open data' requirements as way to make the scientific products associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public. The dataset consists of 2 separate items: 1. Bayesian network model that predicts the probability of habitat availability (days) per winter month for age-0 Gulf Sturgeon at a 30-m pixel scale in Apalachicola Bay, FL (Tabular datasets) 2. Bayesian network model outputs of the probability of habitat availability (days) per winter month for age-0 Gulf Sturgeon at a 30-m pixel scale in Apalachicola Bay, FL for 35 physiological and habitat scenarios (Raster datasets)

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for wading birds, shorebirds, waterfowl, raptors, diving birds, seabirds, passerine birds, and gulls and terns in Maryland. Vector polygons in this data set represent bird nesting, feeding, migratory staging, and wintering sites. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer.This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Maryland. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the NESTS (Nest Points) data layer, part of the larger Maryland ESI database, for additional bird information.

Surveys of of post-larval and juvenile animals, mainly fish, prawn and other crustaceans, were carried out in 1993 and 1994. Samples were collected using artificial settlement units in the Embley River estuary, Gulf of Carpentaria.
