Common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) photographic identification catalog collected for mark-recapture abundance estimation and biological sampling from small boats in Choctawhatchee Bay, Florida, Gulf of Mexico, from 2007-07-24 to 2007-08-30 (NCEI Accession 0237742)

The NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service Southeast Fisheries Science Center conducted a common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) photo-identification mark-recapture and biological sampling project in Choctawhatchee Bay, Florida from 24 July to 30 August in 2007. A model-averaged estimate of the superpopulation of bottlenose dolphins in and around Choctawhatchee Bay was 232 (SE = 13) animals. Estimated resident abundance was 179 (SE = 8), which was lower than the number of unique animals encountered (n=188). This data collection includes dorsal fin photographs and sighting histories for unique photo-identified individual dolphins, including information about spatial distribution, mark characteristics, biological samples obtained, and GIS data such as survey track and waypoint files.

Natural Resource Damage Assessment Plankton Processing

Plankton sampling in response to the DWH oil spill has generated more samples than can be processed at marine laboratories in the Gulf region and/or at the Plankton Sorting and Identification Center in Poland where NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC normally sends SEAMAP plankton samples for analysis.  The laboratory of Dr. John Lamkin at the NOAA/NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Miami is prepared to assist in the analysis of DWH plankton samples which are critical not only to ongoing DWH oil spill impact assessments but also to advance understanding of plankton dynamics in the Gulf.  Physical laboratory space is available in the Lab to accommodate up to five ichthyoplankton sorter/identifiers.  Dr. Lamkins lab is routinely engaged in the SEAMAP Spring Plankton Surveys and has decades of experience in the collection and identification of the larvae of Gulf of Mexico fishes. Dr. Lamkins laboratory will bring on and train five new contract biologists to sort and assist with identification of fish larvae taken in Gulf samples within the specified DWH area of interest. Analysis of samples collected in 2010 within the DWHOS NRDA area of interest (i.e. approximately east of the Texas/LA border and 26 degrees and north) will be conducted at the Southeast Fisheries Science Center.

Gulf Shrimp Control Data Tables

These are tables used to process the loads of gulf shrimp data. It contains pre-validation tables, error tables and information about statistics on data loads. 

It contains no data tables and no code tables.

This information need not be published

 data set contains catch (landed catch) and effort for fishing trips made by the larger vessels that fish near and offshore for the various species of shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico.  The data set also contains landings by the smaller boats that fish in the bays, lakes, bayous, and rivers for saltwater shrimp species; however, these landings data may be aggregated for multiple trip and may not provide effort data similar to the data for the larger vessels.  The landings statistics in this data set consist of the quantity and value for the individual species of shrimp by size category type and quantity of gear, fishing duration and fishing area  The data collection procedures for the catch/effort data for the large vessels consist of two parts.  The landings statistics are collected from the seafood dealers after the trips are unloaded; whereas, the data on fishing effort and area are collected by interviews with the captain or crew while the trip is being unloaded.

Annual survival of Yucatan nesting loggerheads

We deployed 30 Pop-off Archival Transmitting (PAT) satellite tags on nesting loggerhead turtles between 7 July and 11 July 2010 at Xel-Ha, XCacel, and Playa Aventuras in Quintana Roo, Mexico.  The tags were programmed to transmit once a month, if possible, and then, after 1 year, to release itself from the turtle and transmit continuously for the remaining battery life.  The tags also were programmed to release prematurely if the turtle/tag maintained a constant depth for more than 1 week.  After one year, 29 of the 30 tags had transmitted at least once.

Salt marsh construction costs and shrimp production in Galveston Bay and Gulf of Mexico from 1999-01-01 to 2005-01-01 (NCEI Accession 0161218)

Continuing wetland loss in Galveston Bay, Texas (USA) has led to the development of various salt marsh restoration projects. These constructed wetlands often attempt to mimic natural marsh landscape characteristics within the region and incorporate marsh edge, because marsh edge appears important for fishery production. We estimated the value of shrimp production from nine of these constructed wetlands for comparison with project construction costs that ranged between 9,555 and 45,311 ha-1.

Poplar Island Environmental Restoration Project Nekton Data

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.

AMAPPS Southeast Aerial Cruise Fall 2017 at OBIS-SEAMAP

As part of the AMAPPS program, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center conducted aerial surveys of continental shelf and slope waters (up to the 2,000 m isobath) along the US east coast from New Jersey to South Carolina. The survey was conducted in 2017 between 18 Oct and 20 Nov aboard a NOAA Twin Otter aircraft at an altitude of 600 feet (183 m) and a speed of 110 knots. Survey tracklines were oriented perpendicular to the shoreline and latitudinally spaced 20 km apart. Fine-scale tracklines were surveyed closer to the shores of NJ, DE and VA over renewable energy leasing areas. 

The survey was designed for analysis using Distance sampling and a two-team (independent observer) approach to correct for perception bias in resulting abundance estimates. Due to staffing issues on 20 Nov the survey was flown with one team with four observers (left and right bubbles, belly and a data  recorder).

Standardization Of Dealers

The dealer management system (DMS) is a data warehouse that stores federal and state dealer permit and license information. The issuing agency, whether it is a state or federal agency, provides information on the seafood businesses, i.e., company name, mailing/physical address, telephone and license/permit number, to the Southeast Fisheries Science Center and these data are stored in the DMS.  The system is developed to identify multiple records for the same dealer, i.e., dealers that have licenses or permits that are issued by different agencies.  These separate dealer codes are linked such that the separate licenses/permits can be identified for the same dealer. 

Although the DMS was developed in 2004, the data in the warehouse begin in 1999.
