29431 Data Set Published / External 28642 Other Reef Fish Survey Data Project Completed The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories conducts standardized fisheries independent resource surveys in the Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and U.S. Caribbean to provide abundance and distribution information to support regional and international stock assessments. A deepwater camera was tested at sites located on the Destin Dome in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The camera included artificial lights that were programmed to remain on (with or without a red filter) and turn on and off at intervals. A total of 17 deployments were conducted at depths ranging between 150 meters to 575 meters. To test a new deepwater camera for use during reef fish surveys conducted in the Gulf of Mexico.

Data were reviewed and edited for accuracy by chief scientists. Yes 0 Yes Yes Yes 30 Days NCEI-MS 365 Days Data resides in the laboratories’ centralized database (Oracle). Security patches are applied to the database and host environment immediately after their release. In addition, Security benchmarks are applied to the database and host environment. Data residing in the centralized database (Oracle) is backed up nightly. Backup sets are placed on the laboratories’ Networked Attached Storage (NAS) environment. Security patches/updates are immediately applied to the host environment. Data is stripped/mirrored using RAID 50 technology to protect data from disk failure. Nightly backups are preformed and files are written to magnetic tape and stored in an onsite / offsite location. Scientists viewed collected videos to identify and count fish, and describe the sea bed in the field of view. Data were reviewed for accuracy and entered into a database by chief scientists. gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:29431 Charles Weber 2015-12-04T15:39:51 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2026-03-04T19:17:18 2022-05-26 Southeast Fisheries Science Center SEFSC 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 USA (305)361-5761 www.sefsc.noaa.gov 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. EST 1001 Public No No 2022-05-26 1 Year 2023-05-26
