Abstract

These files contain rasterized interpolated biomass distributions for fish and invertebrate species caught in NOAA Fisheries fishery-independent surveys. The distribution maps were produced for the Distribution Mapping and Analysis Portal (DisMAP) project. The distributions were generated from catch-per-unit-effort data from the fisheries-independent surveys. This data set covers 8 regions of the United States: Northeast, Southeast, Gulf of Mexico, West Coast, Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, Gulf of Alaska, and Hawaii islands. The CURRENT layers are identical to the most recent layers dated 20240701.

Title: Fish and Invertebrate Interpolated Biomass Distribution Surfaces CURRENT
Status: In Work
Publication Date: 2023-04-01
Abstract:

These files contain rasterized interpolated biomass distributions for fish and invertebrate species caught in NOAA Fisheries fishery-independent surveys. The distribution maps were produced for the Distribution Mapping and Analysis Portal (DisMAP) project. The distributions were generated from catch-per-unit-effort data from the fisheries-independent surveys. This data set covers 8 regions of the United States: Northeast, Southeast, Gulf of Mexico, West Coast, Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, Gulf of Alaska, and Hawaii islands. The CURRENT layers are identical to the most recent layers dated 20240701.
Purpose:

These data were created as part of the DisMAP project to enable visualization and analysis of changes in fish and invertebrate distributions. These interpolated biomass layers provide information on the spatial distribution of species caught in the NOAA Fisheries fisheries-independent surveys. Information on species distributions is of paramount importance for understanding and preparing for climate-change impacts, and plays a key role in climate-ready fisheries management.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 1254917
Description:

The data was obtained from the above sources as raw survey data. Please refer to the original source for detailed metadata information on each survey.
Process Date/Time: 2023-04-01 00:00:00
Process Contact: NMFS Office of Science and Technology (OST)
Phone (Voice): 301-427-8100

Process Step 2

CC ID: 1254918
Description:

The raw survey data was then processed using an R script, which combined the individual files collected for each regional survey into one dataset with standardized names and units across all regions, and removing unnecessary columns. During this processing step, decisions where made to in some cases trim a regions data to either eliminate certain years or strata based on evaluation of survey coverage for those years or strata.

Phone (Voice): 301-427-8100

Process Step 3

CC ID: 1254919
Description:

The processed data was then fed into a Python script to generate the interpolated biomass distribution maps. The layers were summed in each region by year to provide species richness layers for each region.

CC ID: 1254920
Description:

These maps were then uploaded to the NOAA Fisheries Mapping portal as ESRI Imagery mosaic layers for display on DisMAP.
