Contracted commercial fishers used industry-standard longline gear to survey red snapper across three depth strata and eight latitudinal bands off Florida and Georgia. There was considerable variation in age and size distributions of caught red snapper (age range 3 to 15 years size range 46 to 93 cm fork length), and in catch-per-unit-effort. However, the cryptic biomass hypothesis was not supported by the data, as there was no evidence of greater ages, sizes, or catch of red snapper in shelf-break or deeper waters relative to shallower, continental shelf waters. To assess whether a cryptic biomass of relatively old and large red snapper occurred in continental shelf-break and deeper waters off the Atlantic coast of Florida and Georgia. completed Kellison, Todd 252-838-0810 252-728-8784 101 Pivers Island Road Beaufort NC 28516 Todd.Kellison@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. pointOfContact Mitchell, Warren 252-728-8755 252-728-8754 101 Pivers Island Rd Beaufort NC 28516 warren.mitchell@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.

Regarding fish age samples received by NMFS SEFSC Sustainable Fisheries Branch aging laboratory personnel:Electronic data corresponding to physical age samples are obtained from originator of the samples. The data are formatted to uniform codes, based on the NMFS TIP system codes, and uploaded to Access data base file. The data recorded on the sample containers is verified with electronic data. If samples match, work proceeds and fish ages are estimated. If there are discrepancies, the project contact is notified and data are corrected. If the sample data cannot be rectified, then the physical sample cannot be used.
