Summary

Abstract

Coral Reef Ecosystem Research (CRER)

Larval fish data collected during NOAA Ship Nancy Foster cruises NF1001 and NF1002

February 16 - March 15, 2010

Two tabbed .xls file

Excel Tab 1) Tab with detailed tow data from Bongo net

Excel Tab 2) Tab with detailed tow data from MOCNESS net

Fields for each tab as follows (structure of each tab is identical)

Stn = station

Date = Date Sampled

Start Time (GMT) = GMT Start Time Of Sampling

End Time (GMT) = GMT End Time Of Sampling

Start Time (ATL) = Local Start Time Of Sampling

End Time (ATL) = Local End Time Of Sampling

Gear = Coded Value For Gear Used For Sampling

Depth (m) = Description of Depth of sampling Number are in meters

Displ Vol (mL) = Displacement Volume in ml

Wet Weight (g) = wet weight of sample in grams

Fish (n=) = number of fish

The USVI larval distribution and supply study completed its fourth research cruise during February 16 - March 15, 2010. Ichthyoplankton sampling yielded 330 samples (231 MOCNESS and 99 bongo) from 156 stations for a total of 61,611 larvae collected. MOCNESS (Multiple Opening and Closing Environmental Sampling System) samples were collected from 100 m to the surface at 25 m increments, while bongo samples were collected from just below surface (subsurface) for 10-minute intervals at each station. Samples collected using bongo tows for stations surrounding St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix have been successfully identified to taxonomic family level or beyond for a total of 8,107 larvae. It is too early to provide approximate percentage or assemblage compositions, however thus far, 71 families have been successfully identified. Visual identification is ongoing utilizing the most updated taxonomic keys available. A subsample from selected families of interest will be identified using genetic techniques.
