This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, anadromous, and freshwater fish species in Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distribution, concentration areas, spawning areas, and anadromous fish spawning runs. Species specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the FISHL data layer, part of the larger Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania ESI database, for additional fish information. The ESI data were collected, mapped, and digitized to provide environmental data for oil spill planning and response. The Clean Water Act with amendments by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires response plans for immediate and effective protection of sensitive resources. This project was supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), Emergency Response Division (ERD), Seattle, Washington; and The Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard Office of Incident Management and Preparedness, Washington, D.C. completed ESI Program Manager 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 orr.esi@noaa.gov pointOfContact ESI Program Manager 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 orr.esi@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded Data content is considered static once published.

The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, hardcopy data review by in-house and external resource experts, a final Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) process, and multiple automated logical consistency checks. Quantitative data (such as densities, counts, abundances, or concentrations) provided by resource experts for inclusion in the data set may vary widely in attribute accuracy, depending upon the methodology used to collect and compile such data. For a more detailed evaluation of source data attribute accuracy, contact the sources listed in the Lineage section. Horizontal Positional Accuracy Spatial components for the biological data layers can come from expert interviews, hardcopy, or digital sources. Some of the spatial components of the biological data layers may have been developed using regional experts who estimate concentration areas. It is difficult to estimate the positional accuracy of such data, except to state that they are compiled on hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:45,000. Some of the spatial components of the biological data sets are developed from pre-existing digital or hardcopy sources and reflect the positional accuracy of these original data. Note that biological resource data by their very nature are considered "fuzzy", and this should be understood when considering the positional accuracy of vector digital objects representing these resources. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original source data and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of expert knowledge, survey data, and digital data on fish distribution, concentration areas, spawning areas, and anadromous fish spawning runs.

Conceptual Consistency A multi-stage error checking process, described in the above Attribute Accuracy Report, is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. This process includes multiple automated logical consistency checks that test the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper coding, GIS topological consistencies, and SQL SERVER(R) to ArcGIS(R) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, before the final Geodatabase and metadata are created. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format. For each species, the mapping extent was dependent upon information availability and location of mapped coastal habitats and shorelines. Fish species depicted in this atlas include select marine, estuarine, and freshwater species. Species of conservation interest, commercial or recreational importance, or ecological importance are emphasized. Fish polygons were created based on survey information, digital data, and expert opinion provided primarily by resource experts at Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), New Jersey Department of Environmental Control Bureau of Marine Fisheries (NJDEP BMF) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), but also Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC), Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC), Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), and select published literature. DNREC staff provided independent sampling data for Delaware Bay, Delaware River, and the Inland Bays: Rehoboth and Indian River. NJDEP BMF staff provided independent sampling data for Delaware Bay, Delaware River, and the Atlantic Ocean. Relatively little data was available for Pennsylvania fishes. PFBC provided species lists for a number of Delaware River tributaries, based on electrofishing surveys done during spring to fall months. No data has been collected for the Delaware River by PFBC staff since 1996, so NJDEP BMF data was used as the primary source for species in the Delaware River. 2014-03-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor The presence of a species for a given month in a given geography was based primarily on occurrence rates in the independent sampling data. Species that were caught more than one tenth of the time at sampling stations within a survey area and across the ten year sampling window were marked as 'present' for that month. In special cases the cut-off for presence was lowered, either based on review by DNREC or NJDEP BMF staff or because of low but consistent catch rates across all months. Presence during the winter months, i.e. those not surveyed by DNREC or NJDEP BMF staff, were added based on expert opinion or published literature. Estuarine Living Marine Resources (ELMR) data was used to fill in species information within certain geographies and for select species in DE and NJ waters. These geographies include Delaware Bay, the DE Inland Bays, Barnegat Bay, and the other smaller inland bays along the NJ coast. Concentrations and seasonality were adopted as is. Atlantic (FE, SE) and shortnose (FE, SE) sturgeon were mapped to areas where they are known to occur. Polygons were based on data provided by DNREC staff, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), published literature, and expert knowledge from DNREC staff and Dr. Fox, Delaware State University. Emphasis was given to mapping areas known to harbor large concentrations of juveniles, large concentrations of wintering fish, and critical spawning grounds. Spawning runs for anadromous fish in the Delaware Bay region were mapped based on data from the ASMFC and TNC. ASMFC spawning data was used as the primary data source, and TNC data was used to fill in areas where coverage was lacking. Timing of spawning runs was gathered from published literature and reviewed by DNREC and NJDEP BMF staff. All concentration and seasonality information was reviewed by both NJDEP BMF and DNREC staff, and adjusted in some cases to be consistent with expert opinion. Please note, many species can be found in estuarine waters year-round but are significantly less common in the winter months. Where possible, seasonality and concentration information represents months in which a particular species is most likely to be encountered instead of all months a species could potentially be found in a location. For many species, the timing of life history events, i.e. spawning, was added based upon data from the following sources: 1) Able K. W., Fahay M. P. 1998. The First Year in the Life of Estuarine Fishes in the Middle Atlantic Bight.; 2) Dove, L.E. and Nyman, R.M. (eds.), 1995, Living Resources of the Delaware Estuary; or 3) the mid-Atlantic ELMR data. 2014-03-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor FISH LINES: Spawning runs for anadromous fish in the Delaware Bay region were mapped based on data from the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASFMC) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC). ASMFC data included confirmed spawning areas for alewife, American shad, blueback herring, and hickory shad. TNC data only provided coverage of three species: alewife, American shad, and blueback herring. Data were provided as vector lines corresponding to streams and rivers in the Delaware Bay region. Where these spawning runs overlapped the ESI hydro layer they were converted to polygonal features; otherwise they were left as polylines. ASMFC spawning data was used as the primary data source, and TNC data was used to fill in areas where coverage was lacking. Timing of spawning runs was gathered from published literature and reviewed by Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Marine Fisheries (NJDEP BMF) staff. 2014-03-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the FISH and FISH LINES data layers. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layers: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:45,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; 3) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the FISH and FISH LINES data layers are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2014-03-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: FISH INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: document | Type of Source Media: online ABUNDANCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF ATLANTIC STURGEON (ACIPENSER OXYRINCHUS) WITHIN THE NORTHWEST ATLANTIC OCEAN, DETERMINED FROM FIVE FISHERY-INDEPENDENT SURVEYS 2010-01-01 publication DUNTON, K.J., A.
