The west Florida shelf (WFS; Gulf of Mexico, USA) is an important area for commercial and recreational fishing, yet much it remains unmapped unexplored, hindering effective monitoring fish stocks. goals this study were to map the habitat at intensively fished on WFS known as “The Elbow”, assess differences in communities among different types, estimate abundance each taxa within area. High-resolution multibeam bathymetric backscatter data combined with high-definition (HD) video collected...
The use of marine offshore benthic habitats by sea turtles is poorly characterized due to the difficulty obtaining in situ data. Understanding habitat that important species’ reproduction, foraging, and migrations critical for guiding management decisions. A towed camera-based assessment survey system (C-BASS) equipped with environmental sensors was used characterize assess on West Florida Shelf (WFS) from 2014 2018. During these cruises, were opportunistically observed during surveys, data...
Abstract The Red Grouper Epinephelus morio is an ecologically and economically important Gulf of Mexico reef fish species. well‐documented excavation behavior this species generates several‐meter‐wide holes that serve as habitat in otherwise structureless areas. These mesohabitats are notably dense within the Steamboat Lumps ( SL ) Marine Protected Area MPA eastern Mexico. Previous work ‐ used high‐resolution multibeam bathymetry to analyze changes hole density structure (width, height,...
A new towed camera system, known as the Camera-Based Assessment Survey System (C-BASS), is being developed for reef fish stock assessments. This system has capability of facilitating large-scale quantitative assessments and allows fisheries scientists to enumerate economically important fishes in areas such coral reefs where traditional surveying approaches are not feasible. The designed versatility simplicity with goal deployable from any vessel equipped standard oceanographic winches...

The West Florida Shelf (WFS) is an extremely important area for both commercial and recreational fisheries. However, the lack of habitat maps in this makes planning fisheries independent monitoring surveys difficult, hinders ability to manage monitor fish stocks ecosystems over time. As 2015, only 5% WFS had been mapped high resolution using a multibeam echosounder with little effort expended infer verify type. In Continental Characterization, Assessment, Mapping Project (C-SCAMP) began...

Abstract Considering the myriad of ways in which advanced technology is being used fisheries research, keeping atop newest developments a challenge. The transfer such specialized knowledge, even within community, can be difficult, thereby hindering more widespread use research. This predicament further compounded when information exchange between freshwater and marine communities limited. In constantly shifting technological landscape, effecting stronger about community will lead to greater...
