'Hot spot' analysis of vermilion snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens) vertical line fishery data recorded by the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Observer Program, 2007 - 2013.

Getis-Ord Gi analysis of vermilion snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens) distribution was conducted using observations recorded by the NOAA Fisheries Service Galveston Laboratory's Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Observer Program from 2007 through 2013 (28,087 sets made during 731 trips). Average capture was summarized by 15 minute grid blocks. The hot spot, or Getis-Ord Gi statistic, is used to detect clusters of high or low catch per unit effort (CPUE) values. In ArcGIS, the hot spot tool looks at the value of each feature in relation to the values for its neighboring features. A statistically significant Z-score results if the sum for a feature and its neighbors, when compared proportionally to the sum of all features, is different from what is expected. If a feature is surrounded by neighbors with similarly high (or low) values, then it is part of a statistically significant hot (or cold) spot. Blocks with data from less than 3 vessels were removed for confidentiality purposes.
