Matrices of connectivity, community structure, and geographic distance, between six provinces in the Gulf of Mexico

The dataset contains matrices describing the relationship between six provinces in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) in terms of the Lagrangian dynamical geography of the GoM regions, the community structure of demersal fish, the potential for larval connectivity, and geographic distance. The six provinces are West Florida Shelf (WSF), North Central (NC) North West (NW), South West (SW), Yucatan Peninsula (YP), and Cuba (CUB). The similarity in community structure was computed for marine demersal fish based on the gulf-wide bottom longline survey is archived in GRIIDC Unique Dataset Identifier (UDI) R4.x267.000:0039 (DOI: 10.7266/N7G73C4N). Connectivity matrices were computed for larval tuna, red snapper, red grouper, and tilefish. The 6x6 connectivity matrices for each of the four species include biophysical larval connectivity using the Connectivity Modeling System (CMS) and Oceanic Surface Connectivity (OCE), based on satellite-tracked Lagrangian surface drifters deployed from 1994-2016.

该数据集包含矩阵，描述墨西哥湾（Gulf of Mexico，GoM）六个省份之间在以下方面的关系：墨西哥湾区域的拉格朗日动力地理学（Lagrangian dynamical geography）、底层鱼类群落结构、幼体连通性潜力以及地理距离。这六个省份分别为西佛罗里达大陆架（West Florida Shelf，WSF）、中北部（North Central，NC）、西北部（North West，NW）、西南部（South West，SW）、尤卡坦半岛（Yucatan Peninsula，YP）和古巴（Cuba，CUB）。海洋底层鱼类群落结构的相似性基于全墨西哥湾底层延绳钓调查计算得出，该调查数据存档于GRIIDC唯一数据集标识符（Unique Dataset Identifier，UDI）R4.x267.000:0039（DOI：10.7266/N7G73C4N）。针对金枪鱼幼体、红鲷鱼、红鲈和方头鱼计算了连通性矩阵。这四个物种各自的6×6连通性矩阵包含基于1994-2016年部署的卫星追踪拉格朗日表层漂流浮标得出的生物物理幼体连通性，使用了连通性建模系统（Connectivity Modeling System，CMS）和海洋表层连通性（Oceanic Surface Connectivity，OCE）方法。
