Size and abundance data for fish communities across the Thalassia Experimental Network (TEN) sites in the Western Atlantic from 2018-2019 (NCEI Accession 0277863)
This dataset contains biological, meteorological, and survey - biological data collected at Thalassia Experimental Network during deployment TEN_2018-2019 from 2018-05-01 to 2019-05-09. These data include abundance, taxon, and visibility. The instruments used to collect these data include Diving Mask and Snorkel and Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. These data were collected by Kenneth Heck of Dauphin Island Sea Lab, James Douglass of Florida Gulf Coast University, Justin Campbell and Valerie J. Paul of Smithsonian Marine Station, and Andrew Altieri of University of Florida as part of the "Collaborative Research: The tropicalization of Western Atlantic seagrass beds (Tropicalization Seagrass Beds)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-06-30.

Supplemental Information | Acquisition Description: Fish surveys consisted of 50m x 2m x 2m visual benthic transects in the seagrass within and adjacent to the experimental array (20m x 10m) at each site. Where possible, these were conducted on SCUBA; otherwise, surveys were conducted by a single snorkeler. Surveys were initiated at one side of the long end of the subtidal caging experiment, with 20m of the transect within the experimental array and 30m outside of the array. Divers recorded both the abundance and estimated binned size of all fish species observed (>0.5cm minimum size, both cryptic and non-cryptic species occurring on the benthos or in the water column). Fish surveys were conducted every two weeks (with a minimum visibility of 3m) at each site in the TEN network. |
