Shark and Red Snapper Bottom Longline Survey

The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories conducts standardized fisheries independent resource surveys in the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and U.S. Caribbean to provide abundance and distribution information to support regional and international stock assessments.  A shark/snapper/grouper bottom longline survey is conducted every year from July through September. The survey covers waters between 5-200 fm from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to West Palm Beach, FL, and the U.S. northern Gulf of Mexico from southwest Florida to Brownsville, TX. During each survey approximately 300 randomly selected stations are sampled in both state and federal waters. Survey sites for bottom longline effort were selected at random within three depth strata: 9 â 55 m, 55 â 183 m, and 183 â 366 m in the Gulf of Mexico only. Most bottom longline sets are conducted parallel to depth contours unless survey conditions (i.e., current, sea state, wind) necessitated a different orientation. The number of randomly selected survey sites occupied within 60 nm contiguous sampling zones is proportionally allocated based on the amount of continental shelf area within each of the depth strata. In the Atlantic, 60% of stations were allocated between 9 - 55 m and 40% between 55 -183 m. In the Gulf of Mexico, 50% of stations were allocated between 9 - 55 m, 40% between 55 - 183 m, and 10% were allocated between 183 - 366 m (or at least 1 per sampling zone). Standardized gear utilized during the survey includes one mile of mainline and 100 15/0 circle hooks baited with Atlantic mackerel. Soak times are limited to one-hour to minimize mortality rates of all captured organisms and sampling occurs during day and night. All live sharks are tagged and released unless biological samples are needed for life history studies. Life history data pertaining to age, growth and reproduction are obtained from all captured reef fishes. All other fishes are measured and weighed prior to being released.

Deepwater Horizon - Baseline Dataset (NCEI Accession 0150631)

In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill occurred in the Gulf of Mexico and the Natural  Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) was initiated to determine the extent of damage to the resources and habitat of the area impacted by the spill.  The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories has collected standardized data in the Gulf of Mexico since the 1980s through various fisheries resource surveys.  These data were provided to the NRDA for inclusion as a baseline dataset on the health of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem prior to the oil spill.

Cetacean visual observations using line-transect survey methods onboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter (GU) in the Gulf of Mexico (survey GU0302) from 2003-06-14 to 2003-08-17. (NCEI Accession 0294561)

The U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is required to prepare an annual Stock Assessment Report (SAR) for each marine mammal stock to update abundance, stock structure, maximum net productivity, human-caused mortality, potential biological removal (PBR), and status. In the summer of 2003, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) conducted a marine mammal survey in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GMx). Operations occurred in the waters from 200 m deep seaward to the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) from Brownsville, Texas east into the Straits of Florida. The survey was designed using ship-based, line-transect methods in which experienced marine mammal observers visually located marine mammals, identified the species (to the lowest taxonomic level possible) and counted the number of whales and dolphins sighted along predetermined tracklines. A sighting constitutes a group of marine mammals (whales and dolphins) seen at the same location and time. This dataset includes marine mammal visual observation data and effort points with surveying conditions that can be used in abundance and density modeling per visual line-transect survey protocols. This dataset also includes opportunistic marine mammal photographs and information on biopsy samples collected during the survey.

Cetacean and sea turtle spatial density model outputs from visual observations using line-transect survey methods aboard NOAA vessel and aircraft platforms in the Gulf of Mexico from 2003-06-12 to 2019-07-31 (NCEI Accession 0256800)

Based on ship-based and aerial line-transect surveys conducted in the U.S. waters of the Gulf of Mexico between 2003 and 2019, the NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) developed spatial density models (SDMs) for cetacean and sea turtle species for the entire Gulf of Mexico. SDMs were developed using a generalized additive modeling (GAM) framework to determine the relationship between species abundance and environmental variables (monthly averaged oceanographic conditions during 2015 - 2019). Models were extrapolated beyond the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to provide insight into potential high density areas throughout the Gulf of Mexico. However, extrapolations of this type should be interpreted with caution. This dataset includes 19 shapefiles for the SDMs for each cetacean and sea turtle species or species group.

2014 MARFIN trap-video-diver comparison

The objective of the study was to perform paired diver, trap and video-based surveys to assess species-specific reef fish abundance, and to compare gear-specific results to make inferences about the relative efficiencies of each gear (trap and video gears are used in fishery-independent surveys to support stock assessments in South Atlantic waters).  The study was performed in continental shelf waters offshore (and north and south) of Cape Canaveral, FL in 2014.

Cooperative Tagging Center (CTC)

The Cooperative Tagging Center (CTC) began as the Cooperative Game Fish Tagging Program (GTP) at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) in 1954. The GTP was started by Dr. Frank J. Mather III with an initial focus on bluefin tuna. The program quickly expanded to include billfish in 1973 and became a joint effort between the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and WHOI. In 1980 the Miami Laboratory of the NMFSs Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) took complete responsibility for the operation, funding, and maintenance of the GTP (CTC History). In 1992 the SEFSC changed the program name to the CTC due to an increase in tagging efforts for a wider variety of species, as well as an increase in tagging research needs and requests for tagging data. Constituents have tagged over 270,000 fish of nearly 80 different species, however, today the CTC focuses solely on the tagging of billfish and tuna in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea.

Deepwater Snapper-Grouper Marine Protected Area Survey (1982 - 1983)

The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories conducts standardized fisheries independent resource surveys in the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and U.S. Caribbean to provide abundance and distribution information to support regional and international stock assessments.  In 1982 to 1983, surveys were conducted to locate one or more Marine Protected Areas along the west Florida shelf to protect spawning aggregations of gag grouper.

Simulating environmental effects on brown shrimp production in the northern Gulf of Mexico

Brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus) are a commercially important fishery species of the northern Gulf of Mexico. Young shrimp settle in estuarine salt marsh habitats during the juvenile phase of their life history, and processes that occur during their residency affect growth, survival, and recruitment of sub-adults to the fishery. We developed an agent based model that simulates the cumulative effects of temperature, salinity, and access to emergent marsh vegetation on juvenile brown shrimp growth and survival.  Our model is spatially articulate, with three habitat types and three salinity zones it functions on an hourly time step to track growth and survival of shrimp super-individuals from recruitment into the shallow nursery habitats at 10 mm total length until they reach 70 mm and move into deeper bay water.  We have compared our modeled shrimp production with various abundance and biomass data from fishery independent surveys.  Preliminary analysis shows similarities in seasonal patterns, but annual variability in resource survey data appears higher than our modeled estimates. We are continuing to explore larval recruitment patterns and trophic interactions as possible interacting factors.  Ultimately, we hope to use inter-annual variability in production estimates to reduce uncertainty in the current stock assessment model used by the US National Marine Fisheries Service.
