Dataset AbstractWe hypothesize that standing crops of consumers reflect patterns of allochthonous nutrient transport along the estuarine interface at the Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE) LTER. Our goal is to investigate how variation in hydrology, water quality, and disturbance influence secondary production. This data set represents the numeric count data of fish, plants, and other fauna.

MethodsSampling Description
Contents of 1-m2 throwtraps at 6 FCE locations
Method Step
Description
At each throwtrap, emergent plant stems were counted. Each throwtrap was then bar-seined for fish, invertebrates, and other organisms, all of which were returned to the laboratory for further analysis, including total counts of each species, and weights of each species group.
Instrumentation
Standard laboratory balances, micrometers, graduated cylinders, The throwtrap used to sample was 85cm (H) x 100cm (W) x 100cm (L), The perimeter of the trap was covered with 3/16 inch mesh.Quality Control
All analyses completed with standards for precision and accuracy
