abstract: This project employed specialized technical SCUBA diving methods to provide the first assessment of population dynamics and habitat-related life history of reef fishes on the mesophotic reef habitat in St. Thomas and St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands that can improve Caribbean island-based stock assessments. This project used NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) National Coral Reef Monitoring Program's (NCRMP) standardized Reef Visual Census (RVC) survey methods that were developed by multiple agencies over 35 years ago and adopted as the standard reef fish monitoring method in 2010 for the U.S. territories. Exact protocols can be referenced in peer-reviewed publications (e.g., Bohnsack and Bannerot, 1986; Ault et al. 2006; Smith et al. 2011). The mesophotic fishery-independent survey information extends the ongoing biennial NCRMP survey (0-30m) out to 60 meters along the insular shelf and expands the surveyed hard bottom habitat by 143%. Key fishery metrics (density, occurrence, abundance, biomass, size-structured abundance etc.) can be calculated using standard analytical survey techniques (Smith et al. 2011).
purpose: The deep reef-wide survey provides valuable insight into the overall ecological and management importance of the mesophotic reef habitat (e.g., fish population dynamics, possible refuge for juvenile or larger reproductive fishes, etc.). Limited research has shown that the deeper reefs are biologically important, supporting annual spawning aggregations for recreationally and commercially valuable yellowfin grouper, red hind, and dog snapper (Nemeth et al. 2004, 2005, 2008; Kadison et al. 2006). Similarly, the mesophotic reefs are known to be biologically important for Nassau grouper (Nemeth et al. 2008), a species that is prohibited from capture and recently listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.

supplementalInformation: Submission Package ID: Y0L9P5 In 2018 data providers were not able to sample all the sites necessary to have a complete year block due to field issues, and it took 2018, 2019, and 2020 to complete the first round of samples. Therefore, while the start date for this data package is listed as 2018, for analysis purposes and best use of the data 2020 was used as the first analysis year in the data files. Complete, full sampling was done in 2021 and 2022.
