Summary

Abstract

Finfish depicted in this atlas include selected marine, estuarine, and diadromous species. Species of commercial, recreational, ecological, and/or conservation interest are emphasized. Major finfish (and invertebrate) distributions were mapped using three major geographic divisions: nearshore and shelf waters, offshore waters, and estuarine areas/back-reef embayments. In a few locations, inland streams or guts with recently documented occurrences of native stream fish (and invertebrates) were mapped. Note that native stream fish are likely to occur in other streams and guts as well, even though they are not shown on the maps. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.

Entity Information

Data Attribute / Type Description
ID
NUMBER
A unique identifier that links to the BIO_LUT table. ID is a concatenation of atlas number (67), element number (2), and record number. ID values of 9999 are holes in polygons and do not contain information. The following FISH species are found in the Virgin Islands ESI data set (SPECIES ID, NAME): 131, Great barracuda; 132, Groupers; 141, Common snook; 143, Tarpon; 253, Butterfly fish; 255, Damselfish; 282, Mullet; 303, Permit; 332, Tiger shark; 382, Mountain mullet; 389, Nassau grouper; 416, Mojarras; 509, Red hind; 510, Yellowfin grouper; 514, Mutton snapper; 516, Margate; 517, Dwarf herring (blue fry); 525, Bonefish; 527, Mangrove molly; 1002, Reef fish; 1003, Pelagic fish; 1004, Nursery fish; 1006, Native stream fish; 1007, Parrotfish; 1008, Jacks; 1010, Wrasses; 1011, Forage fish; 1017, Grunts; 1019, Snappers. | Description Source: NOAA
