The sampling, in which fall/winter spawned larvae are collected weekly from mid-November through April/May at the Pivers Island Bridge, represents a time series, initiated in 1986, of larval fish ingress through Beaufort Inlet. Program objectives include (1) developing fishery-independent indices of abundance for use in stock assessments, and (2) determining responses of individual species and assemblages to environmental drivers, including climate variation. To provide information on temporal variability in abundance paterns of fish larval ingress adjacent to Pivers Island (near Beaufort Inlet, NC). underDevelopment Kellison, Todd 252-838-0810 252-728-8784 101 Pivers Island Road Beaufort NC 28516 Todd.Kellison@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. pointOfContact Kellison, Todd 252-838-0810 252-728-8784 101 Pivers Island Road Beaufort NC 28516 Todd.Kellison@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. custodian DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
