The Beaufort Bridgenet Ichthyoplankton Sampling Program (BBISP) at the NOAA Beaufort facility is the longest consecutive ichthyoplankton ingress sampling program along the U.S. east coast. The sampling, in which fall/winter spawned larvae are collected weekly from mid-November through April/May at the Pivers Island Bridge, represents a time series, initiated in 1986, of larval fish ingress through Beaufort Inlet. Program objectives include (1) developing fishery-independent indices of abundance for use in stock assessments, and (2) determining responses of individual species and assemblages to environmental drivers, including climate variation.

| Abstract: |
The Beaufort Bridgenet Ichthyoplankton Sampling Program (BBISP) at the NOAA Beaufort facility is the longest consecutive ichthyoplankton ingress sampling program along the U.S. east coast. The sampling, in which fall/winter spawned larvae are collected weekly from mid-November through April/May at the Pivers Island Bridge, represents a time series, initiated in 1986, of larval fish ingress through Beaufort Inlet. Program objectives include (1) developing fishery-independent indices of abundance for use in stock assessments, and (2) determining responses of individual species and assemblages to environmental drivers, including climate variation. |
| Purpose: |
To provide information on temporal variability in abundance paterns of fish larval ingress adjacent to Pivers Island (near Beaufort Inlet, NC). |

Lineage
Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
Environmental sampling data are written by hand during weekly sampling efforts, then entered into the master MS Access database. Periodically, icthyoplankton samples are sent away to be processed by a contracted agency species identification, abundance, and length data are returned in Excel format, and subsequently entered into the master MS Access database. |
