Abundance and Distribution of Commercially Important Estuarine Dependent Species Populations within the Gulf of Mexico from 1986-04-01 to 2017-06-27 (NCEI Accession 0175786)

This dataset contains records of Gulf of Mexico (GOM) blue crab (Callinectes sapidus), white shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus), brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus), and fishes which can be used to quantify their population abundances and distributions. 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).
