Fish, Shrimp and Crab Composition and Abundance, Oyster Landing Basin, North Inlet Salt Marsh, South Carolina: Former Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)

North Inlet Salt Marsh, South Carolina (NIN) NIN010 (Former LTER_NIN010) [Abstract adapted from the LTER Core Dataset Catalog]

Description

Summary

In order to evaluate long-term variations in composition, abundance, biomass and life history of fish, crab and shrimp species in the North Inlet salt marsh, two collections with a 6 mm mesh bag seine were made every 2 weeks at low tide in a subtidal creek pool in the Oyster Landing basin of the marsh. The water temperature and salinity in the subtidal pool were also measured. After the captured fauna were identified to species, number (abundance), length and weight (biomass) measurements were made.

Length measurements have provided estimates of growth during the period of occupancy each year. Abundance data demonstrate patterns of seasonal migration and recruitment as well as responses of resident species to major changes in salinity and temperature. The North Inlet site is a former site in the LTER Program.

Data were collected from 1980 until 1992. These databases are the result of long-term monitoring begun in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the North Inlet Estuary, Georgetown County, South Carolina. The National Science Foundation funded the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program in the North Inlet Estuary from 1981 to June, 1993.
