Fishery Dependent Pelagic Longline Temperature Depth/Data

Published by Southeast Fisheries Science Center | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 05:03 PM | Dataset Last Updated: March 04, 2026 at 07:17 PM
The Southeast Fisheries Science Center Mississippi Laboratories conducts research and develops gear modifications to mitigate bycatch in fisheries. The data set includes data from three pelagic longline bycatch mitigation research projects, including the Grand Banks sea turtle mitigation research (2002-2003), Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Cooperative Research Project (CRP, 2005), and Gulf of Mexico bluefin tuna mitigation research (2008-2012). These data were collected in conjunction with the SEFSC Pelagic Observer Program (POP) to augment the existing POP data. This data set contains temperature, depth, and time data taken from Temperature Depth Recorders (TDRs) placed on the gangions along the length of the sets approximately nine meters above the hooks.
