Empirical studies support a simulation model for pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus duorarum) in Florida Bay. The dataset includes monitoring of shrimp distribution, abundance, harvest, and environmental conditions like salinity and temperature. Research was conducted by a collaborative team from NMFS, USGS, and the University of Miami, with data collection ongoing since at least 1997.
Use Cases
- Modeling pink shrimp growth and survivorship as functions of recorded salinity and temperature data.
- Predicting juvenile shrimp abundance in Florida Bay using habitat type and water flow measurements.
- Analyzing shrimp recruitment to the Tortugas fishery by correlating harvest data with environmental conditions in the Bay.
- Assessing the impact of freshwater inflow changes on shrimp populations through time-series analysis of salinity and seagrass habitat data.
Strengths
- Long-term collaborative study involving multiple agencies since 1997.
- Data integrates biological metrics (shrimp abundance, harvest) with physical environmental measurements.
Limitations
- Specific row counts, column details, and sample sizes are not provided.
- The dataset's last documented update was in 2004, indicating potential temporal staleness.
