Dataset AbstractBottomless lift nets are buried within the mangrove forest floor and raised remotely on slack high spring tides to enclose a 6m2 area. As the tide ebbs, fishes retreat into a subtidal refuge cleared when the tide has fallen. Three replicate nets have been sampled at 3 locations along a salinity gradient on Shark River for 4 years. Small resident forage fish and grass shrimp dominate the collections. Exotic species and estuarine transient species that use the estuary as a nursery are rare within the assemblage of fishes that routinely use the flooded forest.

MethodsSampling Description
3 sites, one up-river (SRSMc-S2), one mid-river (SRSMc-S4), and one down-river (SRSMc-S3), with 3 nets at each site. Three permanent plots per site, nets folded into aluminum trenches set in the forest floor and deployed remotely from boardwalks. Sampled every two months (ideally), on the highest tides for that month (full moon or new moon).
Method Step
Description
2 x 3 m2 bottomless lift nets (Rozas 1992, Bottomless lift net for sampling nekton on intertidal marshes. Mar Ecol Prog Ser 89: 287-92.); K-S test for length-frequency dist., RM ANOVA for site differences
Instrumentation
YSI Meter model NUM 85/10Quality Control
Final validation when necessary done on identifications by ichthyological taxonomist specialist Dr. Ed Matheson, FMRI. Electronic files are checked against raw data; all specimens archived; reliance on all available expertise within lab.

These data are classified as 'Type II' whereby original FCE LTER experimental data collected by individual FCE researchers to be released to restricted audiences according to terms specified by the owners of the data. Type II data are considered to be exceptional and should be rare in occurrence. The justification for exceptions must be well documented and approved by the lead PI and Site Data Manager. Some examples of Type II data restrictions may include: locations of rare or endangered species, data that are covered under prior licensing or copyright (e.g., SPOT satellite data), or covered by the Human Subjects Act, Student Dissertation data and those data related to the FCE LTER Program but not funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under LTER grants #DEB-9910514, and # DBI-0620409. Researchers that make use of Type II Data may be subject to additional restrictions to protect any applicable commercial or confidentiality interests.
