Full Citation Examples
Densities of nekton were measured in three created salt marshes to examine habitat development rate. All three marshes were created from dredged material from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Patterns of utilization suggest that marshes may reach its maximum habitat support function for some organisms in less than one year. However, comparisons with natural marshes suggest that created marshes function at lower levels than natural marshes in terms of supporting production of commercially important fishery species.

| Abstract: |
Densities of nekton were measured in three created salt marshes to examine habitat development rate. All three marshes were created from dredged material from the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Patterns of utilization suggest that marshes may reach its maximum habitat support function for some organisms in less than one year. However, comparisons with natural marshes suggest that created marshes function at lower levels than natural marshes in terms of supporting production of commercially important fishery species. |
| Purpose: |
Identify and describe the relationship between fishery productivity and the coastal environment. |

Data Quality
| Accuracy: |
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Data were entered into spreadsheets and checked against the raw data sheet to avoid entry errors |
|---|---|
| Quality Control Procedures Employed: |
Each sample was assigned a unique identification code. Field collected samples were tagged redundantly (e.g. one label inside of the collection vessel and a matching label attached to the outside of the vessel). The identifier and its associated information (e.g. date, location, habitat) was recorded on field data sheets. Once a sample arrived at the laboratory, the label remained with the sample throughout the various stages of sample processing. After data were entered into an Excel spreadsheet or similar database file, the information was printed out and compared against the field data sheets by two biologists. Corrections were made at this time and saved. 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. |

Lineage
Process Steps
Process Step 1
| Description: |
After sample collection, field data were entered into an Excel spreadsheet or database file (DBF) using database manager software. 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. |
