We use the Connectivity Modeling System (Paris et al. 2013), an individual-based model which estimates the movement of particles in a 3-D velocity field, and has the capacity to simulate complex behaviors such as those displayed by fish larvae. Simulated gag grouper larvae are tracked from their release sites in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico to suitable settlement habitat, given the specified biological parameters. The modeling effort presented here produces an index of annual recruitment deviations for the years 2003-2012, which can be directly input into the 2013 Stock Synthesis assessment model. To create indices of recruitment strength for input into stock assessments underDevelopment Hoolihan, John 305-365-4116 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 USA john.hoolihan@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. pointOfContact Karnauskas, Mandy M 305-361-4592 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 USA mandy.karnauskas@noaa.gov pointOfContact Karnauskas, Mandy M 305-361-4592 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 USA mandy.karnauskas@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. custodian fishery-dependent 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.
