1 Monitoring Populations of Fish and Macroinvertebrates in Florida Bay By Richard E. Matheson, Jr., Kerry E. Flaherty, and Robert H. McMichael, Jr. Fisheries Independent Monitoring Fish and Wildlife Research Institute Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Funded by a grant from the National Park Service (EVER )

2 Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Project (CERP) plans

3 Overall Project Objectives To conduct fisheries-independent surveys designed to support environmental impact assessments by refining statistical models of nekton habitat use To evaluate seasonal patterns of distribution and abundance of nekton in estuarine and marine habitats in Florida Bay

4

5 Field Sampling Methods Stratified-random sampling design by basin Seasonal (April, June, August, October) Water quality and habitat variables Samples per basin (11 total): 4 offshore 21.3-m seines (6/06) 2 shoreline 21.3-m seines (8/06) m otter trawls (8/06) m haul seines (10/06)

6

7 Average salinity by Basin and Month 50 Dry Wet Dry Wet Salinity (ppt) Joe Bay (13) Long Sound (7) Little Madeira Bay (14) Little Blackwater Sound (8) Madeira Bay (24) Nest Keys Basin (12) Crocodile Dragover (23) No Name (Eagle Key, 15) Duck Key Basin (47) Blackwater Sound (9) Butternut Keys Basin (46) 35 ppt =SD >10 ppt 0 Jun-06 Aug-06 Oct-06 Apr-07 Jun-07 Aug-07 Oct-07 Sampling Event =SD 7-9 ppt =SD < 6 ppt

8 Community structure by basin Data were analyzed by gear using standard PRIMER methods Fourth-root transformed CPUE averaged over gear, season (dry vs. wet), and basin Ordination using non-metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) Spatial differences were tested with analysis of similarities (ANOSIM) analogous to ANOVA CLUSTER analysis to determine similarity between points (used 60% similarity ellipses) Species contributing to observed differences identified with the similarity percentages (SIMPER) routine

9 21.3-m shoreline seines ANOSIM results: Basin (R=0.219, p=0.001), Season (R=0.252, p=0.001) Dry Season Higher Variation in Salinity Wet Season Lower Variation in Salinity SIMPER for basin Joe Bay (13) M. gulosus D Stress: 0.13 A. mitchilli F. carpio 46 No name (15), Butternut Keys Basin (46) F. carpio 13 Eucinostomus spp. A. stipes 13 15

11 21.3-m offshore seines ANOSIM results: Basin (R=0.257, p=0.001), Season (R=0.195, p=0.001) Dry Season Higher Variation in Salinity Wet Season Lower Variation in Salinity SIMPER for basin Joe Bay (13) M. gulosus F. carpio D Stress: Blackwater Sound (9) A. mitchilli

12 21.3-m offshore seines Wet Season % CPUE (animals/100 m 2 ) Species Abundance Occur. Mean Stderr Floridichthys carpio Eucinostomus spp Microgobius gulosus Lucania parva Anchoa mitchilli Eucinostomus gula Atherinomorus stipes N/A Syngnathus scovelli Jenkinsia stolifera N/A Harengula jaguana N/A Both deployments showed a decrease in Hippocampus zosterae during the wet season.

13 6.1-m otter trawls ANOSIM results: Basin (R=0.327, p=0.001), Season (R=0.233, p=0.001) Dry Season Higher Variation in Salinity Wet Season Lower Variation in Salinity 2D Stress: SIMPER for basin Joe Bay (13) M. gulosus F. carpio Blackwater Sound (9) C. ornatus E. gula F. duorarum

14 6.1-m otter trawls Wet season % CPUE (animals/100 m2) Species Abundance Occur. Mean Stderr Floridichthys carpio Eucinostomus spp Eucinostomus gula Lucania parva Syngnathus scovelli = Microgobius gulosus Hippocampus zosterae Farfantepenaeus duorarum Opsanus beta Anchoa mitchilli Argopecten spp. and Callinectes sapidus

15 183-m haul seines ANOSIM results: Basin (R=0.249, p=0.001), Season (R=0.076, p=0.018) Dry Season Wet Season Higher Variation in Salinity Lower Variation in Salinity 23 2D Stress: 0.16 SIMPER for basin Little Madeira Bay (14) C. hippos C. undecimalis S. barracuda Crocodile Dragover (23) L. rhomboides Blackwater Sound (9) C. ornatus

16 183-m haul seines Wet Season % CPUE (animals/set) Species Abundance Occur. Mean Stderr Eucinostomus gula Sphyraena barracuda Lagodon rhomboides Gerres cinereus Eugerres plumieri Lutjanus griseus = Callinectes sapidus Haemulon sciurus N/A Callinectes ornatus Caranx hippos Centropomus undecimalis

17 Conclusions Northeast Florida Bay is not a typical estuarine nursery area Transient species of direct economic value Abundant resident species that provide the forage base Changes in community structure are associated with salinity regimes within and between basins Useful baseline of community structure for before and after CERP implementation Changes in freshwater inflow that alter salinity regimes may influence community structure

18 Future Research Linking community structure to habitat variables (% coverage by banks, bottom vegetation, etc.) Use monitoring data to track single species distributions and abundances Expansion to west-central basins More extensive seagrass characterization at monitoring sites
