The survey primarily occurs on the outer continental shelf along topographic features (e.g. reefs, banks and ledges) between Brownsville, TX to the Dry Tortugas, FL, and provides fisheries independent indices of reef fish abundance for use in stock assessments. To document reef fish abundance and distribution using video camera arrays. underDevelopment Campbell, Matthew D 228-549-1690 228-769-9200 3209 Frederic St. Pascagoula MS 39568 matthew.d.campbell@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded GOM Gulf of Mexico Mississippi Laboratories Reef Fish SEAMAP Video theme 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.

Reef fish abundance and size data are generated from videos. Step 2. An index of abundance for each species is determined as the MaxNo, the maximum number of a taxon that is in the field of view in a single video frame. Fish lengths are determined using laser reference points or stereo video processing. Step 3. Fish are captured using either fish traps, bottom longlines or bandit gear.
