Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
Accurate identification of various life history stages and prey items of marine fishes and invertebrates is central for understanding distribution,abundance, trophic ecology, and biodiversity of these species. Taxonomic approaches have been successfully applied to ichthyoplankton identification and diet analysis efforts for many years. Identification to the species level requires varying degrees of taxonomic expertise. and diagnostic characters for eggs or larvae in some species have not been elucidated.
In the current dataset we assembled a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) database for which
used standard laboratory protocols (restriction fragment length polymorphism
and Sanger DNA sequencing) to accurately identify any life history stages of selected fish and
shrimp species, with special emphasis on those species that have been difficult or impossible
to identify by conventional taxonomic means. Fish and shrimp specimens were collected between 2010 - 2013.
We developed a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)protocol, based upon mitochondrial DNA sequences
to distinguish between Pacific halibut and Greenland halibut, but were unable to develop one to discriminate
between Bering flounder and flathead sole. We used direct Sanger sequencing of mitochondrial DNA for species
identification of 32 species of sculpin and four species of caridean shrimp. PCR products from fish and shrimp
samples were sequenced using an ABI 3730 automated sequencer (Applied Biosystems, Inc). DNA sequences from museum
voucher specimens were compared with entries in the public databases for those species. Sequences from voucher
specimens have greater taxonomic authority for use in species identification than those without vouchers,
adding greater confidence to species identifications based upon our data.

6. Data Documentation
The EDMC Data Documentation Procedural Directive requires that NOAA data be well documented, specifies the use of ISO 19115 and related standards for documentation of new data, and provides links to resources and tools for metadata creation and validation.
Missing/invalid information:
- 1.7. Data collection method(s)
- 7.2. Name of organization of facility providing data access
- 7.2.1. If data hosting service is needed, please indicate
(describe or provide URL of description):
7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
There are no legal restrictions on access to the data. They reside in public
domain and can be freely distributed.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Distributor" is used. The support role must be in effect. This information is not required if an approved access waiver exists for this data.
Notes: This field is required if a Distributor has not been specified.
Notes: All URLs listed in the Distribution Info section will be included. This field is required if applicable.

Notes: This field is required if applicable.
8. Data Preservation and Protection
The NOAA Procedure for Scientific Records Appraisal and Archive Approval describes how to identify, appraise and decide what scientific records are to be preserved in a NOAA archive.
(Specify NCEI-MD, NCEI-CO, NCEI-NC, NCEI-MS, World Data Center (WDC) facility, Other, To Be Determined, Unable to Archive, or No Archiving Intended)
Notes: This field is required if archive location is World Data Center or Other.
Notes: This field is required if archive location is To Be Determined, Unable to Archive, or No Archiving Intended.
Notes: Physical Location Organization, City and State are required, or a Location Description is required.
