NOAA's Estuarine Living Marine Resources Program: Distribution and Abundance of Fishes and Invertebrates in North Atlantic Estuaries

摘要

This report presents information on the spatial and temporal distribution, relative abundance, and life history characteristics of 58 species of fishes and invertebrates in 17 estuaries in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. Its purpose is to disseminate data developed from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Estuarine Living Marine Resources (ELMR) program. The ELMR program is conducted by the Biogeographic Characterization Branch of the Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) Division. The primary data compiled include the presence, distribution, and relative abundance of each species and the time period it utilizes each estuary.
