| Title: | Southern California sites surveyed for Ficopomatus enigmaticus in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, California, USA, from August to October 2015 (NCEI Accession 0278623) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains physical data collected at Intertidal_SoCal during deployment Pernet_2015 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2015-08-30 to 2015-10-02. These data include salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Refractometer and Water Temperature Sensor. These data were collected by Bruno Pernet of California State University Long Beach as part of the "Feeding by the ciliated larvae of marine invertebrates: effects of diverse particle capture mechanisms on feeding performance (Ciliated Larvae Feeding)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-08-06. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Southern California sites surveyed for Ficopomatus enigmaticus Dataset Description: Sites surveyed for invasive annelid Ficopomatus enigmaticus in southern California in summer and fall of 2015, along with water temperature and salinity at those sites, and substrate characterization. |

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: See complete methodolgy in: Pernet, B., et al. 2016. Establishment of the reef-forming tubeworm Ficopomatus enigmaticus (Fauvel, 1923) (Annelida: Serpulidae) in southern California. BioInvasions Records, Volume 5, Issue 1: 13–19. doi: 10.3391/bir.2016.5.1.03 . In brief (extracted from above): 54 intertidal sites were surveyed in Los Angeles and Orange Counties from August-October 2015.All sites were relatively wave-protected, and all had hard substrate that seemed likely to be suitable for colonization by Ficopomatus enigmaticus. Surveys were carried out at or near the time of predicted low tide. At each site, we characterized substrate type, measured water temperature (with an alcohol or digital thermometer) and salinity (with a calibrated refractometer), and searched the area for ~5 min for the presence of serpulids. The tubes of F. enigmaticus are very distinctive and were easily identifiable in the field. We characterized populations of F. enigmaticus at each site as "sparse" when primarily isolated individuals were identified, and "abundant" when worms were found in large aggregations. Samples of F. enigmaticus were collected from some sites and either fixed in 5% formalin in seawater and then preserved in 70% ethanol, or preserved directly in 95% ethanol. All samples were deposited in the polychaete collection of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. |
