  • Title: Ichthyoplankton (biological) data collected aboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter during cruise 0701

• Abstract:

• •         Ichthyoplankton (biological) data from cruise 0701 from the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, Belize, and South Florida.  Data is housed in a spreadsheet database (Excel) format for use of members of the Early Life History (ELH) group.
          

• Purpose:

• •         This project seeks to determine the extent of reef fish and lobster population connections between the Mesoamerican and the South Florida reef ecosystems and the potential importance such a connection plays in replenishing and subsidizing stocks of reef fish in South Florida.
