All other variables (salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen) are measured at the river bank adjacent to each net also at the time of set. Minimum and maximum values for sites were found to be: Salinity(ppt) = SRSMc-S2: 0.3-14.7, SRSMc-S3: 15.6-34.4, SRSMc-S4: 2.4-34; Water temp(degrees C)= SRSMc-S2: 22.2-31.5, SRSMc-S3: 16.6-31.1, SRSMc-S4: 21.1-30.6; DO(mg/l)= SRSMc-S2: 2.55-5.27, SRSMc-S3: 2.08-5.3, SRSMc-S4: 1.25-4.2; Mean depth(cm)= SRSMc-S2: 0.0-24.6, SRSMc-S3: 5.7-41.5, SRSMc-S4: 0.0-21.4 Geographic Coverage Study Extent Description The Study Extent of this dataset includes part of the Harney River and Shark River area within Everglades National Park, South Florida Bounding Coordinates Geographic description: SRSMc-S2 West bounding coordinate: -80.968 East bounding coordinate: -80.968 North bounding coordinate: 25.409 South bounding coordinate: 25.409 Geographic description: SRSMc-S3 West bounding coordinate: -81.077 East bounding coordinate: -81.077 North bounding coordinate: 25.365 South bounding coordinate: 25.365 Geographic description: SRSMc-S4 West bounding coordinate: -81.06 East bounding coordinate: -81.06 North bounding coordinate: 25.424 South bounding coordinate: 25.424 FCE LTER Sites: Near SRS4 and SRS6 Temporal Coverage Start Date: 2000-03-08 End Date: 2004-04-07 Data Table Entity Name: PHY_McIvor_001 Entity Description: Global Climate Change Impacts on the Vegetation and Fauna of Mangrove Forested Ecosystems in Florida (FCE): Nekton Portion Object Name: PHY_McIvor_001.csv Data Format Number of Header Lines: 1 Attribute Orientation: column Field Delimiter: , Number of Records: Attributes Attribute Name: SITENAME Attribute Label: sitename Attribute Definition: Name of LTER site Storage Type: Measurement Scale: text Missing Value Code: Attribute Name: Net_Number Attribute Label: ID Attribute Definition: ID Number of Net Storage Type: Measurement Scale: text Missing Value Code: Attribute Name: Net_SetDate Attribute Label: date Attribute Definition: Date of collection Storage Type: Measurement Scale: Missing Value Code: Attribute Name: Net_SetTime Attribute Label: time Attribute Definition: Time of Net Set Storage Type: Measurement Scale: Missing Value Code: Attribute Name: Salinity Attribute Label: Salinity Attribute Definition: Salinity Storage Type: Measurement Scale: Units: PSU Precision: 0.1 Number Type: real Missing Value Code: -9999.0 (Value will never be recorded) Attribute Name: Water_Temperature Attribute Label: Temperature Attribute Definition: Water Temperature Storage Type: Measurement Scale: Units: celsius Precision: 0.1 Number Type: real Missing Value Code: -9999.0 (Value will never be recorded) Attribute Name: MeanWaterDepth Attribute Label: depth Attribute Definition: Mean Water Depth Storage Type: Measurement Scale: Units: centimeter Precision: 0.1 Number Type: real Missing Value Code: -9999.0 (Value will never be recorded) Methods Sampling Description Lift nets (6m2) were set at high tide and nekton collected at low tide in trenches bordering each net. Three nets were set at each site, and physical parameters were taken at each site: water depth, salinity, water temperature and dissolved oxygen. Three permanent plots per site, nets folded into aluminum trenches set in the forest floor and deployed remotely from boardwalks. 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. References: Rozas, L. P. 1905-06-14. Bottomless lift net for sampling nekton on intertidal marshes.
