Title: | NCCOS Assessment: Juvenile fish trap data from Salt River Bay, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, from 2018-05-16 to 2019-06-26 (NCEI Accession 0207791) |
Abstract: | This tabular dataset provides all catch records for a fish trapping study conducted in Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). From May 2018 to June 2019 fish traps were deployed along the mangrove fringe on the east and west sides of Triton Bay and Sugar Bay within the Salt River Bay estuary. Catch was quantified and recorded in this data table for future use by researchers and managers. Records include taxonomic identification, abundance, and length. |

Supplementary information: | Methods: From May 2018 to June 2019 three fish traps (92 x 57 x 19 cm constructed from vinyl-coated wire mesh with 1.3 cm square openings) were deployed bi-monthly on the east and west sides of Triton and Sugar Bay within the Salt River Bay estuary. Traps were spaced 50 m apart, baited with herring, placed directly along the mangrove fringe, soaked for 24 hours, and then had their contents emptied into bins for evaluation. All fish, crabs, and other organisms were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level, counted, measured, and released back to the point of capture. Records for each individual caught include bay (Triton or Sugar), coast (east or west), latitude (DD), longitude (DD), date and time traps was deployed, date and time trap was retrieved, organism number pulled from the trap (1 to n individuals), family, genus, species (when possible), total length for fish or carapace width for crabs (mm), and notes (e.g., dead, regurgitated).
