The program focuses on estuarine areas important to commercial fisheries and includes data on commercial finfish and invertebrate species, as well as other species commonly captured in trawl sampling. This Florida dataset is a subset of the CAGES Relational Database which is a compilation of fishery-independent data contributed by natural resource agencies of the Gulf States (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida). This data set includes trawl and associated hydrographic data collected under the Fisheries-Independent Monitoring (FIM) Program, part of the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC). Trawl data were used to calculate CPUE (catch per unit effort) at each station for the years 1989 through 2005. The purpose of CAGES is to compile the fishery independent data from five Gulf States into a database to more easily compare the fisheries across the US Gulf of Mexico coast. This dataset includes data collected from Florida only. The CAGES database is intended for scientific research only. completed Dr. Harmon Brown NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Galveston Laboratory 409-766-3500 Galveston Laboratory, 4700 Avenue U Galveston TX 77551 USA Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm, Central Standard Time pointOfContact unknown CoRIS_Metadata NCEI Geoportal Filter comparative assessment of gulf estuarine systems CAGES Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) FFWCC FWRI Fisheries-Independent Monitoring (FIM) Program estuary coastal bay distribution abundance occurrence fisheries fishery independent data CPUE catch per unit effort trawl finfish invertebrate nekton vertebrate crustacean salinity temperature dissolved oxygen secchi depth conductivity pH hydrological hydrographic Brown shrimp Pink shrimp White shrimp Blue crab Gulf menhaden Bay anchovy hardhead sea catfish Bighead searobin Silver Jenny Pinfish Sand seatrout Silver perch Spot Southern kingfish Atlantic croaker Black drum Red drum Striped mullet Spanish mackerel Bay whiff Gulf flounder Southern flounder Blackcheek tonguefish Hog choker Lined sole Farfantepenaeus (Penaeus) aztecus Farfantepenaeus (Penaeus) duorarum Litopenaeus (Penaeus) setiferus Callinectes sapidus Brevoortia patronus Anchoa mitchilli Ariopsis felis Prionotus tribulus Eucinostomus gula Lagodon rhomboides Cynoscion arenarius Bairdiella chrysoura Leiostomus xanthurus Menticirrhus americanus Micropogonias undulatus Pogonias cromis Sciaenops ocellatus Mugil cephalus Scomberomorus maculatus Citharichthys spilopterus Paralichthys albiguta Paralichthys lethostigma Symphurus plagiusa Trinectes maculatus Achirus lineatus theme None Gulf of Mexico Gulf Coast Florida Apalachicola Bay Suwannee River Cedar Key Tampa Bay Charlotte Harbor Suwannee Sound place None OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Gulf of Mexico > Florida COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Gulf of Mexico place CoRIS Place Thesaurus Numeric Data Sets > Biology theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Marine Biology > Marine Invertebrates EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Salinity/Density > Salinity EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Chemistry > Oxygen EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Marine Biology > Fish EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Ocean Temperature > Water Temperature theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus otherRestrictions otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None Use Constraints: None Distribution Liability: NOAA and NODC make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) manages fish and wildlife resources to maintain populations for their long-term well-being and for the benefit of the people. The Fisheries-Independent Monitoring (FIM) program, part of the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute of the FFWCC has been monitoring resource species in four regions of the Florida Gulf coast: Apalachicola Bay, the shallow Gulf area off the Suwannee River delta north of Cedar Key, Tampa Bay, and Charlotte Harbor. Trawl samples and hydrologic data were collected at randomly selected sites monthly in the tidally influenced riverine areas of our sampling universe (1989-2005) or on a seasonal (spring-fall 1989-1995 and 1998-2005) basis to target the main juvenile recruitment periods depending on the year in each of four estuarine areas. During 1996 and 1997 trawl samples and hydrologic data were collected monthly in both riverine systems and in the bays. Each of the four areas was subdivided into grids of 1 x 1 minute latitude and longitude. Each minute grid was further subdivided into microgrids using a 10 x 10 cell grid overlay. Each microgrid was also classified by habitat, and the percentage of all microgrids in each habitat defined the number of samples to be taken from that pool of microgrids. Data are for the years 1989-2005. Samples collected from 1989-1994 included both day and night hauls with those after 1994 being daytime collections only. Sampling in Suwannee Sound and Cedar Key began in 1996 but no trawl sampling occurred in 1998-2000. Sampling in Apalachicola Bay did not begin until 1998. Hydrographic data collected at each site included temperature and salinity. Observations were taken at 1-m depth intervals from the surface to the bottom. Water depth and habitat type also were recorded. Trawls were towed from 6.7 – 7.3-m (22 – 24-ft) wooden mullet skiffs, each powered by an outboard engine housed in a central well, thus leaving the rear deck and transom open for sampling operation. FFWCC used a 6.1-m (20-ft) two-panel otter trawl with 3.8-cm (1.5-in) stretch mesh webbing. The boat speed was set at about 2.2 kph (1.4 mph) to tow approximately 0.2 nm in 10 minutes (acceptable range was 0.16 to 0.24 nm). All fishery samples collected by FFWCC were processed following a standard set of protocols. These protocols ensured that an accurate size representation and number collected were recorded for each species in each sample, and that the data taken reflected the entire catch. All fish and selected macroinvertebrate species captured were identified to the lowest practical taxonomic level and counted. A random sample of at least 10 individuals (40 for selected species) was measured (standard length [SL] for teleosts, carapace width for crabs, and postorbital head length [carapace length] for shrimp) and recorded for each trawl. When the catch was estimated to include more than 1000 individuals, the catch could be subsampled. Subsamples were processed under the normal protocols and results extrapolated back to a whole catch (FFWCC 2010). Catch data in trawls were converted to numbers caught per hectare (#/ha) using the tow times and calculated conversion factors. The conversion factor was calculated based on an assumed 80% spread of the width of the trawl webbing along the headrope (defined here as the headrope length) and the estimated distance towed in one minute calculated from reported tow times. The conversion factor is equal to the time needed (in minutes) for the trawl to cover one hectare. To calculate the CPUE the following formula was used: Conversion factor / Tow duration (min) X Number caught = #/ha. The conversion factor for Florida was calculated to be 55.92.
