39337 icthyoplankton_krig Data Set Published / External 37200 SBNMS_Assess_Fish_and_Invertebrates Project Completed 2006-12 The National Marine Fisheries Service's Northeast Fisheries Science Center conducted standardized ichthyoplankton surveys from 1977-1988 along the continental shelf between Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and Cape Sable, Nova Scotia. These data were collected as part of a comprehensive fisheries ecosystem study to identify changes in fish community structure and investigate recruitment mechanisms. During this time period 25,000 bongo samples were collected within this broad area. In this analysis, a subset of the data were used to model ichthyoplankton abundance and distribution within the Gulf of Maine from Cape Sable, Nova Scotia to southern Massachusetts. Overall, 6,406 samples were used to model abundance and distribution within a seasonal time series (Figure 3.2.1). Additionally, samples conducted within Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary were analyzed to determine species composition abundance within the Sanctuary. Developed as part of a biogeographic assessment for Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. 627 Spatial Reference Information Geodetic_Model: Horizontal_Datum_Name: North American Datum of 1983 Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category biota Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans Theme NOS Data Explorer Topic Category Environmental Monitoring Theme ichthyoplankton Spatial Gulf of Maine National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science Silver Spring MD Data Set As Needed document These data were prepared by an agency of the United States Government.
