SEFSC CAGES Alabama Fish Length Data with CPUE

The CAGES program (Comparative Assessment of Gulf Estuarine Systems) is designed to examine the differences between estuarine ecosystems and investigate why some are more productive than others. The program focuses on estuarine areas important to commercial fisheries and includes data on commercial finfish and invertebrate species, as well as other species commonly captured in trawl sampling. This Louisiana dataset is a subset of the CAGES Relational Database which is a compilation of fishery-independent data contributed by natural resource agencies of the Gulf States (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida). This data set includes data from trawls collected by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) and Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL), as well as associated hydrographic data. Trawl data were used to calculate CPUE (catch per unit effort) at each station for the years 1981 through 2007.

CAGES项目（海湾河口生态系统比较评估）旨在探究河口生态系统的差异，并研究为何某些河口生态系统相较于其他更具生产力。该项目聚焦于对商业渔业具有重要意义的河口区域，并包含了关于商业鱼类和无脊椎动物物种的数据，以及常见于拖网采样中的其他物种数据。本路易斯安那州数据集是CAGES关系数据库的一个子集，该数据库汇集了海湾州（德克萨斯州、路易斯安那州、密西西比州、亚拉巴马州和佛罗里达州）自然资源机构贡献的渔业独立数据。此数据集包括来自亚拉巴马州自然资源部（ADCNR）和海湾海岸研究实验室（GCRL）收集的拖网数据，以及相关的水文数据。拖网数据被用于计算1981年至2007年各站点的单位努力捕捞量（CPUE）。
