Economic Data Collection -- South Atlantic Shrimp Non Confidential rpts

The Annual Economic Survey of Federal Gulf and Atlantic Shrimp Permit Holders collects data about operating expenses and costs of owning and maintaining shrimp vessels. Each spring, surveys are sent by mail to a random sample of 33 of all vessels with federal permits for the harvest of Gulf of Mexico penaeid shrimp or South Atlantic penaeid or rock shrimp. This information is used to assess trends in the financial and economic state of the fisheries, and to determine the economic and social effects of regulations and other factors affecting the Southeast shrimp fisheries. The individual information is confidential and only summary statistics are released to the public.

ROUNDSCALE SPEARFISH general morphometric data

Little information has been produced since the mid 1970s about the roundscale spearfish Tetrapturus georgii (Lowe, 1840). The most complete species description was based on examination of four individuals from the eastern Atlantic. On the basis of detailed laboratory examination of 16 specimens, as well as fishery observer information and biological samples from an additional 49 individual specimens, we update morphological descriptions and key identification characteristics of this species for the western North Atlantic. Key characters include lateral scale morphology and position of the anal opening the scales having rounded and broad anterior bases with usually multiple posterior points, and the anal opening located a distance between 0.48 and 0.81 the height of the first anal fin.

ROUNDSCALE SPEARFISH branchiostegal morphometric data

The morphometric characteristics that separate white marlin Kajikia albidus from roundscale spearfish Tetrapturus georgii can be difficult for non-experts to distinguish, particularly when the animals are in the water.  Using the measurements of the lower jaw tip to the longest branchiostegal ray (LJBR) and the opercle (LJOP), a discriminant function is presented that will help field observers separate the two species.  The function DR-W  LJBR (3.31861)  LJOP (-2.84856)  6.37198 classified specimens as roundscale spearfish when DR-W was  0 and as white marlin when DR-W  0 with a 95 correct classification rate overall.  Since only the head of a specimen needs to be closely observed, the method has particular utility for tournament anglers during the hook removal process.

AMAPPS Southeast Shipboard Cruise Summer 2016

As part of the AMAPPS program, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center conducted shipboard surveys of continental slope and shelf break waters along the US East Coast from Central Florida to Delaware during 30 June to 19 August, 2016 (designated Cruise code GU-16-05). The marine mammal survey was designed for analysis using Distance sampling, and a two-team (independent observer) approach was used to correct for perception bias in resulting abundance estimates. Team 1 was stationed on the vessel's flying bridge (height above the water 13.9 m) and team 2 was located on the bridge wings (height above the water 11.2 m). Between 20 - 24 August the ship transited into the Gulf of Mexico and only team 1 was active.

Cages Study 1981-2014

Estuaries are important in supporting much of the fishery production in the Gulf of Mexico, but this support appears to vary widely among different estuarine systems. The main objective of this project was to assess variability among estuaries in supporting fishery species and other abundant nekton. The project is part of a larger effort of the National Marine Fisheries Service Galveston Laboratory to develop a Comparative Assessment of Gulf Estuarine Systems (CAGES). The nekton abundance data summarized in this report are available at http://data.gcoos.org. This cooperative study with state natural resources agencies was designed to use fishery independent monitoring data and compare historical catches from 4.9-m and 6.1-m trawl surveys. This report provides an assessment of the abundance, length frequencies, and biomass of 14 species of fish and four species of decapod crustaceans that were either abundant in the samples or economically important. The most abundant species in the analysis include bay anchovy, Atlantic croaker, spot, and brown shrimp. Other fishery species of particular interest include Gulf menhaden, white shrimp, pink shrimp, blue crab, spotted seatrout, southern flounder, and red drum. While the years analyzed varied among states, samples from most estuaries were available and analyzed for the years 1986 to 2005. The 24 estuaries analyzed were identified using the Estuarine and Coastal Drainage Areas delineated by the U. S.Geological Survey and listed in NOAA's Coastal Assessment Framework

Summary of bacteria found in captive sea turtles 2002-Present

If a sea turtle abruptly stops feeding, or ceases feeding entirely for three consecutive days, it is moved to the First Care Area [FCA] in the main sea turtle rearing barn.  The First Care Area is a semi-quarantine area where turtles can get specific attention and medical care.  When a turtle is moved to the FCA, it is given an identification number and a medical chart is made for that turtle.  Our attending veterinarian is contacted and a treatment plan is developed.  Treatment logs are used to compile the FCA logs and help keep track of sick turtles.  Tissues and swabs from captive reared sea turtles that die or are euthanized are sent off to the Texas Veterinary Diagnositic Laboratory for analysis.  TVMDL reports are submitted to permitting agencies when requried, and are not kept in searchable digital form.  When bacteriology reports return from TVMDL, they are added to this database."

The database contains a summary of bacteria which have been isolated in sea turtles dead and alive at the NOAA Galveston Laboratory and is based on reports received from the Texas Veterinary Diagnosic Laboratory in College Station, Texas.

Radiofrequency identification technology and sea turtles

This study investigated the compatibility of various PIT tag scanner technologies and available PIT tag frequencies, as well as testing the read depth potential  of Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags and scanners with different frequency/manufacturer combinations. Unit variability between  individual units was also investigated.  This information will benefit tagging studies for sea turtle monitoring and life history research by maximizing the likelihood that previously marked turtles would be identified during future encounters.

GULFSPAN Survey (longterm effort, catch, and environmental data) from 1994-2016 (NCEI Accession 0162100).

The identification of essential habitats for marine species is critical for proper management of populations.  Although the species composition of sharks that occur in coastal waters is diverse, descriptions of distribution and habitat use tend to be generalized; distribution has been broadly outlined in which individuals are segregated into different habitats by ontogeny

The GULFPSAN survey is a fishery-independent survey that began in 1994 to examine the distribution and abundance of juvenile sharks in coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico. It was done  adhoc   through 2002. In 2003 it began to receive its own funding.  The database describes coastal shark abundance and environmental data from St. Andrews Bay to Apalachicola Bay in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.

Potential impacts of the Loop Current on Downstream Marine Ecosystems after DWH Oil Spill

Circulation in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is dominated by mesoscale features that include the Loop Current (LC), Loop Current Rings (LCRs), and smaller frontal eddies. During May-June 2010, while oil was still flowing from the Macondo well following the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) platform explosion on April 20, 2010, drifter trajectories, satellite observations, and numerical simulations indicated a potential for direct connectivity between the northern Gulf and the Florida Straits via the LC system. This pathway could have potentially entrained particles, including northern GOM contaminants related to the oil spill, carrying them directly towards the coastal ecosystems of south Florida and northern Cuba. To assess this connectivity, and to evaluate the potential of oil impacts on economically important GOM fisheries, an interdisciplinary shipboard survey was conducted in the eastern Gulf during July 2010. This cruise sampled the LC, LCR, and frontal eddies to a depth of 2000 m. The assembled subsurface measurements represent one of only a few data sets collected across the dominant GOM mesoscale circulation features at a time when there was great concern about the potential longrange spreading of DWH related contaminants. Direct observations such as these are critical for the assessment of particle trajectory and circulations models utilized during the spill, and for the improvement of future numerical forecast products.

Stomach content analysis of the Blacktip Shark from the coastal waters of Florida from 2008 to 2010 (NCEI Accession 0166766)

Sharks may have an important role in marine ecosystems in relation to populations of fish and invertebrates at lower trophic levels.  Fishery management plans stress the need for an ecosystem approach, but few quantitative studies on the foraging ecology of sharks have been published.  Stomach contents and catch data of early life stages of blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) taken from fishery independent surveys in Florida, were examined to test for overlap in resource use.  This data set also contains stomach contents of blacktip shark that were archived from samples collected in Florida through observer programs and other fishery independent surveys.  

 Young-of-the-year blacktip sharks were found to feed mainly on sciaenids, whereas juveniles fed on clupeids. Compared to relative prey sizes published for teleost piscivores, blacktip sharks consume relatively large prey.  Regardless of maturity state and species, diet overlap is high for species-life stage combinations that are similar in size however, species-life stages did not show significant habitat overlap.  Prey categories shared by similar-sized species may not be limiting however, shark species may have alleviated competition pressure by partitioning the resource of time or space.
