Radial survey data of queen conch population counts, shell length, and lip thickness measurements in Buck Island and Salt River Bay, St. Croix, USVI, from 2014-08-25 to 2018-08-10 (NCEI Accession 0253469)
This dataset contains shell lengths and lip thicknesses of queen conch individuals located and measured while conducting radial surveys of the conch populations on the northern shelf of St. Croix. The date, location, water depth, and general benthic habitat description were measured and described at each radial survey site (see InPort record number 30680 for specific project metadata).

Supplemental Information | Submission Package ID: 72WAX3 The conch density data referenced in the "Purpose" section as part of a large-scale queen conch population survey and tracking study was not submitted as part of this archival information package. |
Purpose | These data were collected as part of a large-scale queen conch population survey and tracking project. Radial survey data will be used to calculate conch densities in each area surveyed. These densities will be used as part of a larger study to analyze general patterns of queen conch movement within the St. Croix marine protected area networks. |
