Survey of fish species, number and size from transects near Carmel and Monterey Bays, CA, 1999-2015 (Larval Dispersal in Kelp Rockfish project) (NCEI Accession 0278873)
This dataset contains biological and meteorological data collected at Long Marine Lab UCSC during deployment Carr_1999 in the North Pacific Ocean from 1999-09-07 to 2015-10-01. These data include depth, taxon_code, and visibility. These data were collected by Dr John Carlos Garza and Mark Carr of University of California-Santa Cruz and Christopher Edwards [AFFILIATION UNKNOWN] as part of the "Integrative evaluation of larval dispersal and delivery in kelp rockfish using inter-generational genetic tagging, demography and oceanography (Larval Dispersal in Kelp Rockfish)" project and "Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-01-27.

Fish surveys, 1999-2015
Dataset Description:
Acquisition Description:
Sampling consists of visual surveys of the number and size of all non-cryptic fishes by SCUBA divers. Surveys are conducted at sites distributed throughout the study region (Carmel Bay and southern Monterey Bay). Each sample site is divided into four "zones" (by depth - 20m, 15m, 10m, 5m - or from offshore to inshore at sites with little depth variation) to assure that samples are distributed across the face of a reef from inshore to offshore. Where possible, fish are counted on 12 transects per site (defined as a fixed stretch of coastline, occupying approximately 500m). Each "transect" includes a 2m x 2m x 30m "bottom" transect and a "mid-water" transect. Sampling is conducted by a pair of divers surveying the bottom and mid-water transects simultaneously. Surveys are designed to measure year-to-year site-wide variability in population structure and density. Density and size-structure estimates derived from these surveys are multiplied by habitat area measurements to estimate species abundance and, using published size-fecundity relationships, generate estimates of larval production.
