Natant decapod crustaceans were most abundant in the marsh, while densities of juvenile brown shrimp, white shrimp, and blue crabs were highest 1-m from the marsh edge interface, declining rapidly towards open water. Developed regression models to describe fine-scale density patterns and used this information to estimate the population of natant decapods in a highly fragmented marsh in the Galveston Bay system. Identify and describe the relationship between fishery productivity and the coastal environment. completed Baumer, Tim J 409-766-3784 4700 Avenue U Galveston TX 77551 tim.baumer@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. pointOfContact Ditty, James 409-766-3782 409-766-3508 4700 Avenue U Galveston TX 77551-5997 Jim.Ditty@noaa.gov Phone or email custodian notPlanned EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Marine Biology > Marine Invertebrates > Biomass EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Marine Biology > Marine Invertebrates > Census > Macroinvertebrates theme CoRIS Theme ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - MASS theme NODC DATA TYPES Gulf of Mexico place NODC SEA AREA NAMES Farfantepenaeus aztecus Farfantepenaeus duorarum Litopenaeus setiferus Spartina alterniflora abundance blue crabs brown shrimp decapods distribution drop sampler fish habitat macrofauna nekton pink shrimp restoration salt marsh shrimp wetlands white shrimp theme 1995 temporal Galveston Bay Gang's Bayou Gulf of Mexico Texas West Bay place 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.

A text file was created to describe these data and associated variables. Entered data were checked against the field sheets by two biologists to minimize entry errors. Samples were processed in the laboratory, sorted, specimens identified and measured, and information was entered into an Excel spreadsheet or DBF file. Files were printed out and compared against original data sheets by two biologists for data entry errors. Corrections were made at this time, the electronic file was saved, and a back-up copy made. Hard copies of the QCd files were printed and stored in the project folder along with the original field and laboratory data sheets. The electronic file was also sorted and examined by the Lab Supervisor or other project personnel in a variety of ways to look for outliers, missing data, and other potential errors. Verified data files were then saved electronically on the Galveston Laboratory server and backed-up as needed.
