29433 Data Set Published / External 28642 Other Reef Fish Survey Data Project In Work 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. In FY2014 and FY2015, the NMFS Advanced Science and Technology Working Group funded the Untrawlable Habitat Strategic Initiative to execute a testbed study designed to evaluate the performance of transitional advanced technologies. This study included a testbed range of acoustic and optical sensors to measure sampling performance and fish reactions to alternative sampling platforms (e.g. stationary, AUV and towed optical systems) in untrawlable habitats (e.g. reef). Biological data include species specific fish abundance, fish density, behavioral responses. Abiotic data include GIS information such as bathymetry, camera and vehicle position, time and date stamp. To execute a testbed study designed to evaluate the performance of transitional advanced technologies.

Validation routines are applied during data entry to ensure the integrity of data collected. Data validation routines are also applied as data is migrated into the centralized system. Chief biologists review the data for content to ensure the relevance/accuracy of data collected during the survey Yes 0 Yes Yes Yes 365 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. A test bed site was set up at the Florida Middle Ground along the west Florida shelf in the Gulf of Mexico using stationary stereo video cameras. A towed camera system, a ROV and an AUV were run past the test bed cameras. All video was recorded, and later viewed to identify and count fish observed on the test bed cameras, and the cameras mounted in the towed, ROV and AUV systems. Fish identifications and counts were entered into a database. gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:29433 Charles Weber 2015-12-04T15:41:39 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
