The data set contains existing data as a baseline and supplemental data from continued sampling. It contains records of early life stage blue crab, white shrimp, brown shrimp, and fishes (measurements and counts) from beach seine and trawl samples across the north GOM in the central Gulf States that were collected using standardized sampling methods. Data also include habitat assessments such as descriptions, georeferencing information, and abiotic factors (DO, salinity, temperature). The purpose of the dataset is to a. Assess changes in blue crab and white and brown shrimp population distribution and abundance due to OCS activities and potential direct exposure to oil and dispersants (i.e., changes in population density in various life stages, immediate population or species decline due to mortality, resource limitations, increased competition, physiological changes [sterility, growth rate changes], toxins in tissues, etc.) by analyzing baseline and monitoring data. Additionally, this dataset can be used to b. Assess changes in larval, post-larval and early life stage community assemblages in coastal habitat that may offer insight into reduction of crab and shrimp populations (predator/prey interactions, changes in geographic range, resource limitations, etc.).

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian multi-parameter water quality sensor multi-parameter water quality sensor used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters Instrument used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters, often used to measure water quality parameters. Can be a hand-held instrument or a sonde for unattended monitoring. Often used in coastal water monitoring stations. YSI is the preeminent brand (as of 2024). scale scale An instrument for measuring mass or weight. Secchi disk Secchi disk The Secchi disk (or Secchi disc), as created in 1865 by Angelo Secchi, is a plain white, circular disk 30 cm (12 in) in diameter used to measure water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water. The disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity. [Wikipedia, 2021-09-02]
