Distribution and Abundance of Fishes and Invertebrates in Gulf of Mexico Estuaries Volume 1: Data Summaries .,:-.:?' .. .,. :-.......t--. September 1992 U.S. Depar men. of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric AdministratiOn National Ocean Service The Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) Division of NOAA's Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment (ORCA) was created in response to the need for comprehensive information on the effects of human activities on the Nation's coastal ocean. The SEA Division performs assessments of the estuarine and coastal environments and of the resources of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). In June 1985, NOAA began a program to develop a comprehensive information base on the life history, relative abundance and distribution of fishes and invertebrates in estuaries throughout the Nation (Monaco 1986). The Estuarine Living Marine Resources (ELMR) program is conducted jointly by the SEA Division and laboratories of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The Pt. Adams (Hammond), OR; Galveston, TX; and Beaufort, NC laboratories have compiled information forthe contiguous West Coast, Gulf of Mexico, and Southeast regions. Data for the Northeast are being compiled by NOAA's SEA Division, NMFS (Annapolis, MD), the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences, and the Universityof Massachusetts. To date, the program has compiled data for 115 species found in 83 estuaries. Six reports are now available free upon request (see below). This report, Distribution and Abundance of Fishes and Invertebrates in Gulf of Mexico Estuaries, Volume P: Data Summaries, revises and replaces earlier reports for Texas (Monaco et al. 1989), the Eastern Gulf of Mexico (Williams et al. 1990), and Central Gulf of Mexico (Czapla et al. 1991). Three salinity zones as defined in Volume I of NOAA's National Estuarine Inventory Data Atlas (NOAA 1985) provided the spatial framework for organizing information on species distribution and abundance within each estuary. These salinity zones are tidal fresh (0.0 to 0.5 ppt), mixing (0.5 to 25 ppt), and seawater (>25 ppt). The primary data developed for each species include spatial distribution by salinity zone, temporal distribution by month, and relative abundance by life stage, e.g., adult, spawning, juvenile, larva, and egg. In addition, a detailed estuarine life history summary is written for each species.
