Abstract:
To gain the information necessary to develop more specific hypotheses, the first research cruise of this project (DOS-2006-113 / NOAA-NF0705) was conducted between March 28, 2007 and April 9, 2007 aboard the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster. This survey sampled water properties, currents, and dispersal and transport of settlement-stage larvae in the VI and neighboring regions. Once the biological samples have been sorted and the oceanographic data have been analyzed, results from this cruise should yield not only an understanding of regional spatial variation in the supply of settlement-stage fishes, but also insights into the relative importance of Grammanik Bank and its MPAs as a source of juvenile fishes recruiting to the waters of the VI.
