Demographic data for introduced crab from multiple bays along the Central California coast in 2015 (NCEI Accession 0278020)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected at Central_CA_Coast during deployment Grosholz_2015 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2015-06-29 to 2015-07-03. These data include sex, taxon, and taxon_code. The instruments used to collect these data include Fukui fish trap. These data were collected by Catherine de Rivera and Gregory Ruiz of Portland State University and Edwin Grosholz of University of California-Davis as part of the "RAPID: A rare opportunity to examine overcompensation resulting from intensive harvest of an introduced predator (Invasive_predator_harvest)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-01-14.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
We conducted monthly trappings of invasive European green crabs to gather demographic data from several bays in northern California: Bodega Harbor, Tomales Bay, Bolinas Lagoon, San Francisco Bay, and Elkhorn Slough. All sites were accessed by foot via shore entry. At each of four sites within each bay, we placed 5 baited traps (folding Fukui fish traps) and 5 baited minnow traps in shallow intertidal areas. Traps arrays were set with fish and minnow traps alternating and with each 20 m apart. Traps were retrieved 24 hours later and traps were rebaited and collected again the following day. Trapping was continued for three consecutive days with traps removed on the final day. Each day, data for crab species, size, sex, reproductive condition, and injuries were collected for all crabs in the field. Following data collection, all crabs were returned to the lab, and frozen overnight prior to disposal.
