Spawning aggregations are an important event in the life-history of many coral reef fish species. During short time periods (typically during full moons), fish will aggregate to spawn at discrete locations along a coral reef tract. Locations of historic...
Assess/monitor effects of MPA status on reef fish populations and spawning aggregations in the Tortugas Ecological Reserves
We supply abundance information of fish species along multiple randomly oriented transects at the lowest possible taxonomic level. This information is collected from multiple stations on an annual or biennial basis.
Habitat characterization of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve south using photographic and quadrat methods.
We supply habitat characterization data along a single randomly oriented transect at each of 16 sampling stations in the Tortugas South Ecological Reserve. This information is collected from multiple stations on an intermittent or biennial basis.
NOAA Point Shapefile-Fish Densities from offshore St. Croix, USVI, Project:NF-14-01, WGS84
Scientists collected acoustic fisheries data in mid-water depths approximately 30 to 1000 meters. Fishery acoustics data will
be used to characterize broad-scale fish abundance, biomass, and utilization patterns,
as well as to locate and document fish sp...
NOAA Point Shapefile - 100m2 Fish Density of Elvers Bank, United States, NF-11-08-FGBNMS, Technical Dive Cruise, August 2011, WGS84
The design of this field mission is three fold: (1) to spatially characterize the distribution, abundance and size of both reef fishes and macro invertebrates within and around the waters of the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary using, (2) to relat...

NOAA Point Shapefile - 100m2 Fish Density of Grand Northeast Ecological Corridor, Puerto Rico, Project NF-12-01-PR, 2012, WGS84
This data contains densities of fishes detected using mobile fisheries sonar on board the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster. The data were acquired in concert with a multibeam bathymetry survey of Grand Northeast Ecological Corridor. Fish densities are presented b...
