2010 USVI Larval Reef Fish Distribution and Supply Study

Published by Southeast Fisheries Science Center | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 29, 2026 at 11:07 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 01, 2022 at 12:00 AM
Contains the final, processed data from the joint Coral Reef Ecosystem Research (CRER) and Reef Fish Resources (RFR) cruise conducted aboard the NOAA Ship NANCY FOSTER between 16 February 2010 and 15 March 2010 (NF-10-01 and NF-10-02). The data includes: CTD: processed data from all conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) casts LADCP: processed data from all lowered acoustic Doppler profiler (LADCP) casts SADCP: processed hull-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (SADCP) data from the completed cruise ship track TSG: processed sea surface, flow-through data collected with the ship's thermosalinograph (TSG) and fluorometer, covering the completed cruise ship track FISH: processed larval fish data collected from the various net tows (BONGO, MOCNESS, etc.) conducted during the cruise.
