attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String The data were sampled in Sabine Lake, Galveston Bay, Matagorda Bay, San\nAntonio Bay, Aransas Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, the upper Laguna Madre, and the\nlower Laguna Madre from January 1982 to December 2016 (except in Sabine Lake,\nwhere sampling begun in January 1986). The surveys were conducted bi-weekly\nusing bag seines (18.3 m long and 1.8 m deep with 19 mm stretched nylon mesh\nin wings and 13 mm stretched mesh in the bag), which were deployed along the\nshoreline. Bag seines were deployed multiple times during the first and second\nhalves of the month in every bay system. The location of each sample was\ndetermined by randomly selecting one station from a predefined sampling\nuniverse and, once in the field, selecting a section of available shoreline\nwithin that station. At the selected sampling location, the bag seine was\nextended 12.2 m perpendicularly to the shoreline, then pulled parallel to the\nshoreline over 15.5 m. The offshore end was then retrieved to shore while\nkeeping the onshore end stationary and maintaining the full extent (12.2 m) of\nthe bag seine using a limit line. Organisms greater than 5 mm in total length\nwere identified to the lowest taxonomic level.\\u00a0 Further details of\nsampling protocols are described in the [Marine Resource Monitoring Operations\nManual](\\\\\"http://datadocs.bco-dmo.org/docs/Texas_Coastal_Fish/data_docs/CF-\nMar-Res-Mon-Ops-Manual-2015.pdf\\\\\")\\u00a0(PDF).\\u00a0\n \nNote:\\u00a0All station_id numbers\\u00a0are included at least once in this\ndataset (e.g.\\u00a0some organisms were observed at every station/sampling\nevent).

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_description String A seine net is a very long net, with or without a bag in the centre, which is set either from the shore or from a boat for surrounding a certain area and is operated with two (long) ropes fixed to its ends (for hauling and herding the fish).\n\nSeine nets are operated both in inland and in marine waters. The surrounded and catching area depends on the length of the seine and of the hauling lines.\n\n(definition from: fao.org)

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Texas Coastal Fish
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String NSF Award Abstract:\nUnderstanding how changes in environmental conditions affect biota in the oceans is critically important for maintaining biodiversity and sustainable fisheries and projecting potential responses to future climate scenarios. The aims of this project are to determine how the distribution of fish and invertebrates has changed over time along the Texas coast and to assess the extent to which these changes are attributable to changes in local environmental conditions, such as sea surface temperature, coastal sea level, salinity, turbidity, and river discharge rate. Studies of biological systems in the Gulf of Mexico are lacking compared to coastal research in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Addressing these regional knowledge gaps is crucial because the Gulf of Mexico supports a wide diversity of temperate and tropical species that are ecologically and economically important. Poleward shifts in species distributions associated with increasing sea surface temperature have been observed along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. In contrast, the northern edge of the Gulf of Mexico is bound by land that places biogeographic constraints on the potential responses of coastal organisms to changing environmental conditions. This project will use advanced statistical methods to analyze long-term species composition data for the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and characterize past relationships of species composition and local environmental conditions. These findings will help guide the development of predictive models to assess potential biological responses to projected environmental conditions. Research results will be shared with local and state resource agencies responsible for managing coastal fisheries. As an integral part of this project, a three-level (faculty-graduate-undergraduate) mentoring system will be established to promote diversity in science through undergraduate and graduate training. Undergraduate students will be recruited through the Texas A&M University Chapter of the Society for Advancement of Chicano and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), for which the principal investigator is currently a faculty advisor. Both graduate and undergraduate students will work as a team on the project and develop quantitative data analysis and other general scientific skills. Finally, the research program will be used as a case study for establishing mentoring systems for promoting diversity in science.\nThe availability of long-term species composition data provides a unique opportunity to substantially improve knowledge toward understanding the effects of climate change on marine organisms in a low latitude system. This project will examine species composition data for eight bays distributed over approximately 650 km of the Texas coast; comprehensive data of this type are uncommon elsewhere. The biological data have been collected over 35-40 years as part of a long-term monitoring program and includes information on more than 1000 species of fish and invertebrates. This unique dataset will be analyzed using modern statistical approaches, including occupancy data analysis, co-integration method, and state-space vector autoregressive modeling. These methods overcome common difficulties in statistical analyses, including datasets having multi-collinearity among independent variables and those involving non-stationarity. Based on the results of the statistical analyses, models enabling the prediction of species composition under projected local environmental conditions will be developed. As part of this project, undergraduate and graduate students will acquire expertise in contemporary analytical methods, research findings will be broadly shared with both the academic and resource management communities, and computational code will be made publically available. This project will provide better understanding of the effects of environmental conditions on fish and invertebrate distribution and will provide valuable information for improved fishery management and conservation efforts under changing environmental conditions.
